Classic/ Hunting rifle picture thread

[...]

As much as i love Tactical chassis rifles thatll make tiny groups at 1000 yds......ive also got a soft spot for nice classic hunting guns, somthing with some nice wood and a touch of class, designed for bringing down a buck or popping a gopher.

Just finished piecing together this rig for upcoming deer season.

Savage 212 (ok "technically" its a shotgun), bedded into a Boyds Platinum walnut stock, topped with a basic Leupold 1-4X.









so lets see em!

Not sure this meets the definition of a Classic????? But one of my favorites for deer hunting. Tikka 7-08 in a McM Sako Hunter chopped to 20".

I agree, something about that wood grain and gold ring [IMG2=JSON]{"data-align":"none","data-size":"full","height":"805","width":"1073","src":"http:\/\/i.imgur.com\/KWnDfwI.jpg"}[/IMG2]

Not really a "classic" either, but it's my deer gun. She will wear a different scope eventually (3-18 VX6) but I'm still waiting for the mounts.

Winchester model 70 super grade in 30-06 with leupold vx-2 3-9x40....pretty much never shoot it unfortunately, always too worried to scratch it up...



This is is normally my go to standard hunting rifle...Remington 700 308win stainless in McMillan gamscout stock with leupold VX-3 3.5-10x30 with CDS dials out to 600yards...light, fast, durable...

I hear ya zero on the Super Grade. They have some of the best looking wood around.

Guess this would qualify as a "classic" hunting rifle. Its the only wood stocked rifle I would hunt with, used to be my dad's go to rifle. Sako Forester in .308.

Super grades are just pure sex, there's something about a gold ring on a nice wood stocked rifle too. I've got a Safari in 375H&H and have been meaning to pick up a Super Grade in 308, 30-06, 300WM, or 7RM for a sort of matching pair. I'm in the same boat though about scratching it and is one of the reason why I haven't picked up a super grade. I know it will just sit.

VERY classy!....personally i like silver inlay on blued guns a lot better than gold inlay, i like the contrast a lot better.

Wow!!! Now that's what I call a classic. Simply beautiful!!! My compliments, sir.

Supersubes, stunning. More pics and info? Please

It's a Shiloh Creedmoor that I customized all to hell. The Creedmoor is their only model that combines the pistol grip with a single trigger. Seemed an ideal hunting gun after I removed the standard Creedmoor fanciness and added some of my own. I have two other shilohs (one pistol grip, one straight stock)that have set triggers, and I found that reaching around the lever and set triggers is uncomfortable. Once I held the Creedmoor at Shot a number of years ago, I was sold on it.

45-70 standard chamber(Shoots paper patch or greasers very well).
26" standard weight, half round barrel(shortest they'd go)
Trigger set to 3.5 lbs.
Ebony schnabel
Ghost ring barrel sling swivel
Steel checkered butt plate
Beaded cheek
All the screws are timed to 6 and 12
Bone and charcoal pack hardening
Extra fancy wood/hand select, with a AA finish.
Full buckhorn rear and penny front sight


I'll post some more pics.

 

[Supersubes]

Zeroed to shoot right on top of the front sight at 50 yds. Three shot group with a Postell bullet and black powder. 530 gr bullet at 1125 fps. I actually hunt with a different bullet than this. Either a 520 gr PP bullet or a 513 grn flat nosed greaser.

That's really hard to follow. Beautiful rifle, and nice work on making shots on game.

Mines quite old at being made in 1886 but she still shoots like it's supposed to. It is a real honest to goodness trapdoor sporting rifle. They were made and used for visiting politicians and VIP's from other countries to hunt buffalo and grizzly bear. I think it's why it's inreally good shape for its age. One problem with that though??
the guy I bought it from, thought it would be worth more if he had it polished and reblued and the stock stripped and re-finished!!!! GEEESH!!!! Oh well I was looking for a shooter and yes I got it for a real good price. It shoots a nice cloverleaf at 100 yds with 38 grs weight of blackhorn 209 powder under a 405 gr. Lead flat nose bullet with a wonder wad under it. I have molds frommy days with a Shiloh sharps 1874 no. 3 sporter 45/70 so I'm goim
ng to definitely load up some black powder loads.

picked up a new Elephant gun today......Ruger No.1 in .375H&H magnum.







.308 and .300 win mag for scale........round is like a fucking Cigar......

 

[Supersubes]

Obviously I have an affinity falling blocks, so i like that a bunch. Ive almost purchased one several times over the years. They used to make that in .416 rigby as well.

Is that factory wood? Looks great, now you need to go whack something big with it. .375 is a fantastic round for just about anything imo. I have an uncle who took one to Africa about 15 times(literally), and absolutely swears by it.

they still do make it in .416 rigby....as well as .458 lott and .450/400 NE.......been thinking about picking up another one in .458Lott as well.

but yeah, thats the factory wood.....was pleasantly surprised when i picked it up....but unfortunately it only has that nice figure on one side of the stock...the other side is somewhat bland......may put some exhibition grade walnut on it at some point.

got it primarily for Elk and Nilgai hunting......and im determined to get to Africa at least once.
