What's the most aesthetic rifle?

[SHELL SHUCKER]

FN C1A1 Sniper be rather pleasing to my eyes, and are solid performers. Pity they ain't welcome in Kanuckistan.

How common was the C1A1 sniper issued to infantry battalions , and what time period would that have been

Voted most often as America's favorite. The Model 1841 Mississippi Rifle.

Oh dear! I like most old milsurps. I guess the sweetest one I own is an Indonesian SMLE that was “built” in 1959 (I think, not at home right now), gorgeous light colour, metal like new. I think likely built up from an old British SMLE, all scrubbed and re-stamped with new lettering and numbers. Interestingly stamped 7.7 on the wrist metal. Rifle is like new.

Non milsurp, jeez, tough one. I have a North America Arms Co. (NAACO) Model 90D 30-06 with a Williams Twilight scope. Sleek old rifle, classic look.

I’d have to go with my Greek Mannlicher Schoenauer 1903/14. It’s a beautiful rifle and a pleasure to shoot. A close second would be the Hungarian 35M.

Hi Bohrok,
I have one like yours as well with a sporter stock.
Do you have quick detachable scope mounts on yours?

Aesthetically pleasing to the eye for me are full stocked carbine hunting rifles with schneable forends. Good god they are pretty

I like SVT 40's. Just the right mix of elegance and "I am totally going to kill you".

yes …. Very nice! Your pic sent me hunting for other ‘cavalry’ carbines …. Found a couple of others that looked very nice … a Persian carbine and an Argentine carbine …. Presumably both were on m98 actions… the little LE ‘Jungle’ carbine wasn’t too shoddy either.

Steyr M95 rifle is my favorite.Beautiful shape,very ergonomic (for times),well balanced.

Those rifles must have been marvels of their era when they were build and in original caliber.

I'm inclined to agree and the loading system is very slick.
