Sorry no pix but I have 2 favorites and out of a safe full that's hard. It's like being a parent and having a favorite child...

Anyway my favorite bolt gun is a 1909 Argentine Mauser converted to .308 with a FN made barrel and in a Boyds thumb hole saltNpepper laminated stock. It's not done being fitted to the stock yet but it was a great shooter in the old modified military stock and I also plan to Duracoat the barrel and action.

My other favorite is a H&R single shot .45-70. It's light, accurate and fun to shoot. I put a Williams target knob peep on it and I only shoot cast bullet loads from it.

I have about 5 second favorites that are nothing special but good shooting rifles. The most notable is a Win 670 Ranger in '06 with an older Weaver scope. Next is a 94 Win .30-30 with a Redfield peep. Both of these are great shooters.

I don't keep a rifle that isn't good shooting except for my first .22 that is a total piece of crap but my late uncle Chuck gave it to me...
