You know when you see a wow double or bolt rifle and it just settles right and you know - 'that is a thing of beauty'. Like the Ruger No1, where it is so simple and plain, yet the form is so elegant. Or the Heym 89b where the proportions and lines are perfect, no other word for it. Witness @wiltznucs 450/400 with that incredible stock grain and the buffalo engraving, Heym deserves an award for that one. Or the slim and elegant lines of a Rigby Highland Stalker with it's highly polished hard and smooth walnut that just happens to sit beautifully too. I never thought I would include this one - the Blaser R8 with it's clever configuration and yes, the very appealing and contrasting use of top quality walnut as in @BeeMaa 's wife's rifle, but also the leather trimmed ones. That is executed so well it brings to mind gripping an exquisitely hand-stitched steering wheel on an exotic car.
So what does it for you? Maybe we will see some convergence in the responses and be able to crown one particular beauty.
