This is probably one of the most fun, crazy accurate rifles I have ever owned. I've developed a couple loads for it that remind me I could really shoot lights out before my eyes gave out from too many hours in front of,,,,guess what.....a computer. It is a Weatherby VS2 .223, a little work done by the custom shop for me, a little more by me. I have a couple Savage projects in the works that I hope will give this one a run for its money...we shall see. kb
Mine is a Weatherby Vanguard S2 in .308. The 24" barrel was too long for me in the stand and dense woods so I had it cut down to 21".
Second place is a 1943 Lee Enfield No. 4 in 303 Brit. I have taken two deer with it and like to think that it has been used to kill both deer and Nazis.
Ruger American. .223 Rem.
I guess my favorite is a remington VS in .308/heavy barrel etc and the other would be my 50-70 rolling block experimental,I actually shoot it form time to time.It is the rarest rolling block ever produced.There are only 3-4 known in private collections and mine is #5.Mine makes the one in the remington museum look like a roach.
Willing to give back for what the sport has done for me!
I bought both these 77s ,both in 270 from the same guy at least 20 years ago or better,and they were both like new,Now one is still pristine,and one is all beat up...I have never hunted with the rs,because I don't like a high mounted scope..The beat up one has been the most productive deer rifle I've ever owned,and is my favorite non Savage I own based on practability,but I have a special sentimental attachment to all the guns I inheireted from my Dad,and even my old Winchester 190 that I hunted squirrels with as a kid.

This is my baby, a custom Remington 700 in 204 Ruger I put together myself. It has a Shilen match barrel, Bell & Carlson light tactical stock and a rifle basix trigger. She can shoot sub .400" five shot groups at 100 yards all day.

RUMs are like woman in Stiletto heals, you know they are going to put you in the poor house, but that has never stopped anyone from pursuing them.
Probably the Jack O'Connor Custom Tribute Rifle...plum purdy.
Really nice!!!!Probably the Jack O'Connor Custom Tribute Rifle...plum purdy.
My (very) favourite non Savage rifle is an original (not Remlin) RM stamped 38/.357 Marlin Limited with octagonal barrel seen here with an ATN red dot. Help yourself to a beer
Or below with a Burris AR 332 3X red dot

gotta be my ruger m77 25-06, the old style with the tang safety. more sentimental value than anything i guess. it was one of the guns my dad left me before he passed away last year, it was his go to hunting rifle and has the blood stains on the bluing to prove it. got my first Wyoming deer with it this winter.
Mine would be this Marlin 25N that i acquired and fixed up last year.
EFBell, my first rifle was also a "Glenfield" .22 bolt action. I still have it and it shoots great.
My first custom; a 6.5x47 Lapua from Meredith Rifles in Athens, Ala. Bartlein 26" 1:8 twist, Stiller Tac30 Action, Manners T4A Stock with DBM. Sweet on paper and going on my first Antelope hunt this Fall.
I guess I like my Win94 30-30 the best.
I've had it the longest.
Shooting squirrels with my Varmint barreled AR-15 is great fun. Don't use my bolt rifle much any more.
Win 94 is the ultimate classic!!! I must agree with you! So much fun to shootI guess I like my Win94 30-30 the best.
I've had it the longest.
I will post some pictures tonight but mine is a Ruger M77 all weather in 204 Ruger. The Horandy rounds fly at 4225 fps.
I saw this thread and I just remembered, I had a Marlin Camp Carbine in .45 ACP what a fun gun that was. I was stupid for selling it!
Custom 6.5 Creedmoor Stiller TAC30 on AICS 2.0 with Viper Skin
Fav Savage is a ~'50s 99 in 300 Savage - nearly new condition - just plain SWEEET!
Current bevy of non-Savage favs would have to be my Marlin levers - 1895 45-70 first, followed by the 336 in 35 Rem and 336 in 30-30.
I LOVE the levers! My next bucket list rifle is a 99 in 250 Savage!
