Which rifle do we crown as the best looking ever?

Prettiest rifle I have is my .458 B&M, M70 action, Turkish walnut stock.

Cem, to me this rifle epitomizes the "old world" craftsmanship that I've only seen on occasion and or read about. Thanks for posting photos of it again. I'm glad the good Lord excluded "thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's rifle" from his list of don'ts. LOL
 
Cem Rona Ergin's Single bridge Mauser in 416 Rigby. Hopefully after seeing this he will post a full length photo along with the close ups previously posted of the action.

Upon seeing the rifle - fair enough
 
Just undescribable beautiful pieces!
 
I ran across these by Johann Fanzoj out of none other than Ferlach, Austria. Pretty easy to imagine these rifles still bumping around Africa 100 yrs later.

I just noticed someone else posted a Fanzoj rifle. Oh well, never too much gun porn.

Must be something in the genes or water in Ferlach. They sure can make a gorgeous rifle.
 
I’ve got a lot of respect for Mauser actions I own one and have owned several others, but for me personally they will never have the elegance of a single shot rifle.
 
This is my dream rifle! A Westley Richards rifle chambered in .425 Westley Richards, a truly classic cardridge. don't know why we don't see many .425 WR anymore these days, but they seemed to be quite popular back in the day.

Hello! I saw your post from last year about a missing crate from your hunt in Moz. I am curious how that all turned out? We (my fiancé and I) also hunted in Moz in 2024 and the trophies are being shipped with Hunters Services Limitada. We have some concerns on whether we will get the trophies home or not. May I ask who you hunted with?
