View attachment 707334View attachment 7073359.3x62 on a 1909 Argentine. Hard to beat taking a nice rifle for a walk if the hunt is unsuccessful. Better if you take your animal.

My sentiments entirely . Life is too short to hunt with an ugly rifle .

My problem is I have beautiful rifles that are stuck with hunting with an ugly worn out old fart.

Bob - you should see what I look like . I’ll see you and raise you in the ugly stakes . Multiple , multiple facial stitches , broken noses , missing teeth , fractured cheek bone . The only thing missing is the bolt through my neck . Cheers

It would have to be something traditional in blued steel and walnut. I’ve managed to do that every time so far.View attachment 687452View attachment 687451View attachment 687450View attachment 687453View attachment 687449

For dangerous game hunting my favorite rifle is my Kimber Talkeetna, .375H&H. I had the stock sent to Dead Eye Customs to be Cerakoted. I love this look over the factory gray Kevlar fiberglass stock. I also switched out the bolt handle to a Lumley tactical bolt handle, this allows me to run the bolt a lot faster.

For non dangerous game I absolutely love my Kimber Mountain Ascent, .308, in moss green.
