Here is my addition. A custom Anschutz 1712 silhouette sporter and a Beretta 687 EELL diamond pigeon sporting. Both stocks have had work done by Klaus Hiptmayer. The Beretta had a full strip to remove the original berretta finish and was then given a hand rubbed polish plus its fitted. The Anshcutz much the same but more modifications like ebony grip cap, fore end and butt plate spacer etc.

This one's kind of nice. Still shows well considering this 12 gauge is 140 years old.

Favorite might be a disappointment to some...I have rifles with nice wood, but this old HVA '98 in 8mm is my favorite. Very expensive $300 rifle lol, but it's the stock and balance, love the wide forend, and narrow grip, just carries and points great, and it shoots very well, much better then the price suggests.
Love it.

Jeez that anschutz is amazing! The 687 as well
Living out the last ten years of his life in French Polynesia, the famous artist Paul Gauguin (1848 – 1903) hunted feral pigs with his Winchester. Norwegian adventurer and ethnologist Thor Heyerdahl found the rifle in the 1930's. When a French colonial bureaucrat confiscated the rifle, Heyerdahl removed the walnut buttstock, with its valuable Gauguin wood carving. It is in the collection of the Kon-Tiki museum in Oslo, Norway. (Thor Heyerdahl, Fatu-Hiva, 1974, pp. 168-169) Gauguin's paintings and sculpture sell for millions of dollars. An 1892 painting of his became the world's third-most expensive artwork when it was sold to Qatar for $210 million in 2014.

Here are a few that my past grandfather put together
.458 WM built off a Mauser 98, rosewood stock
A little Lee Enfield love, .303 British
This rifle both my dad and myself took our first moose with, nearly 40 years apart. A .280 Rem built off a Brno ZG47 (excuse the bad finish job, was my first finish job, about 20 years ago)
