What is the most beautiful rifle ever made, to you?

[1776goat]

When it comes to looks there is just something about a bolt gun for me. I think CZ makes a beautiful rifle. Going to pull the trigger on a 600 lux in 30-06 to match my 457 lux soon.
On the other end of the spectrum from classic, I LOVE the look of the .308 GF bolt gun. A little too much coin for me to justify, but man it's a looker.

.17 HM2 Kimber Pro-Varmint in a Numrich pretty stock.

Don't see many HM2 rifles. Here's my CZ 452 in 17 HM2. CZ got into a boatload of bodacious figured walnut at one point. I have similar grain patterns on this 452, a 527 Hornet, and a 550 Mannlicher in .243, all built around the same time frame.

This 452 shoots as good as it looks. Maybe betterer:

A 60? 45 Colt or .44-40?.

45 Colt Sir….. I’m a shooter not a brass and ammo hunter.

I've always liked Berthiers. That "pregnant guppy" look is just sexy... like Mae West.

Colt sauer made bolt actions for a short while 50ish years ago. The fit and finish is 2nd to none. They are stunning, if you've never seen one Google it. They've held their value quite well. They had hand worked triggers, tapered barrels, and glass bedded from the factory. It was an off the shelf custom rifle. But I'm a sucker for bolt actions...

Hard to vote against a classic lever gun. I grew up in the Appalachian mountains, and the 99s were very popular there, and piles of deer have been harvested with them, particularly in PA where you couldn't use a semi auto. 300 Savage was ahead of its time, and would still be popular if it wasn't for .308 IMHO. I definitely would love to own one. A good friend had a 99 in .243 it was very accurate.

Not my rifle* (yet)

But in my opinion. The Ruger AC-556K in stainless finish, is the most beautiful rifle ever made. It’s always been my dream to own one. And it’s the rifle that got me into firearms when I played Vice City as a kid. (And no I’ve never watched A-Team as it was before my generation lol)

.284 Win could be had in the 99 and not a bad replacement for. 308. (Except for availability)

But having one in 45 Colt if the right deal came along on a 44-40
