Big thanks to @Hunter-Habib for starting this thread, because it's been a long four years my friend. Appreciate you thinking of us. I raise a glass to you. Cheers.

@BeeMaa
Does that mean you are getting rid of your continental Barbie rife and buying a nice made in the USA again.
Nah me thinks not. You love Barbie to much.
Ha Ha ha Ha ha

Winches 85 single shot
Simple, reliable, accurate and pure class.

Would have to agree with the winchester 85. While the savage 110 is a fine rifle I don’t feel it rises to the level of iconic.

Beautiful but what calibre.

Winchester Model 1886 in 45-70, built around 1906.

My grandfather purchased this rifle used in the 1930s, and passed it onto my dad in the 70s who passed it onto me in the late 90s.

May not be iconic but used then Henry Ford principal of simple mass production and produced a rifle that is easy to make and assemble. Just dang accurate to go with it. Even the likes of Remington and Ruger are using the barrel nut to simplify and reduce production cos.

Yes the action isn't pretty with that big baffle at the back and the bolt lug baffles but I've never seen a Savage that won't shoot well straight from the box.
Iconic, not yet, good looking, definitely not. Accurate and dependable definitely.
Dang you could even train a monkey to do a barrel swap it's that easy
