I have just finished another "pair" of rifles that would make up a dandy 2 rifle battery and with the right bullets would suit many (if not most) occasions that one may come across in the hunting fields.
I have had three "pairs" over the years and still have most although the 404 Jeffery has been moved on
The first pair would be familiar and suitable for most occasion that those on the forum might anticipate in the hunting fields that is the general realm this forum deals with.
DWM 7x57
paired with the FN 404 Jeffery
The next pair I did was somewhat older but would still account for many area of game hunting
The Martini Enfield carbine in 303
paired with the Martini 577-450
I have just finished a 3rd pair and again it has a 303 on a Mk l* action from 1900
Buff cap and tip with the Lee Speed styled stock I have come to really enjoy making and using
And its stablemate is a BSA Commercial Mk l action in 400 Lee Speed (my own version of the slightly shortened 405Winchester case to 2.410 and loaded to 3.052 OAL
Another pair I have for my small game hunting is the 20 Var Targ on a Rem X R 100 action and my wildcat 6.5 Grendel-Max on a mini mauser.
So what have the rest of you paired up as being able to compliment each other
