What's your white whale?

[SuperCub]

Mine also is a BLR .257 Roberts, it's now pretty much my wife's deer rifle now.. I also owened a browning A5 that I sold a few years ago.

I know a fellow here in town that has one. He won't sell it ......... I tried.

A 1974 Marlin 336 in tip top shape. Honest use accepted, but not abuse.

I did locate one, and it looks great, but the owner has not said they want to sell.

Just my luck, chuckle.

Someday...

Cheers
Jay

I got mine about 5 years ago, it was almost mint and I paid $450 it's the bottom in the pic, top is a 30/06.

Another bucket list gun i just picked up was a big bore 94 in .375 win.

That looks like a short action ejection port to me.

I want a Confederate Mississippi Long Rifle

Can't afford one
Don't know where to buy one

https://mississippiconfederates.wor.../weapons-equipment-of-the-vicksburg-campaign/

Not looking for an imitation new made version yet

Honestly I wanted an nonrailed Podolsk SVT40! I love history and look on this item as museum grade history as not only a cool rifle but a story to be told and not forgotten.

I do believe they are short action? I have read that the .257 Roberts can be both? Regardless if it's proof your after here you go lol

You took that wrong... I was just pointing out that it was a short action as opposed to the usual long action... I have owned half a dozen rifles chambered for .257 Roberts and they have all been long actions...

Ahh okay I see, the 257 has kinda ruined the 30/06 for me cause the lever throw is so long lol

I have 2 "White Whales" in my collection. One is a 700 Classic in 7x57. [This Stock originally came on a Classic in 8x57, but I swapped it over to my 7x57, and kept the 8x57 with a bit plainer wood]




The other is my Leeper built 308 Norma Magnum.




Dave,

Dave,

That's some very nice wood there Dave, although I really like the darker finish, but that's just me.

Brno ZG-47 in 10.75x68

Wow that's an awesome rifle! I would love to see some pictures of it. Exceptionally rare caliber.

EDIT: Never mind, I obviously didn't know what white whale means haha. Best of luck finding one.

Thread is nine years old…

Long enough ago to be declared legally dead, and yet somehow still relevant.

(Mine would be an actual M40a1, but given that it's damn near impossible, I might have to settle for building a clone one of these days)

 

[iron cat]

I gave upnon chasing white whales years ago, had a couple then sold them!
I keep telling myself I am done with match rifles, too, that ain't goin' so well either! LOL
However, if and when a TR rifle comes up with some Provenance that it belonged to one of my childhood TR heroes, I may grab it!

Ruger #1 .308 with factory iron sights.

Believe they only did it in an anniversary edition. I missed buying one once and regretted it since.

A super soaker, a bag of ice, and a bottle of Jack Daniel's Sinatra Select delivered to me poolside by Sydney Sweeney on a hot summer day...

Finish Mosin TKIV 85

 

[wrangler4867]

I have 2:
Russian PKM

FN Minimi.

Once upon a time I could have bought a PKM for $900, but I passed, like an idiot.

The Minimi was in reach once, but the timing didn't work out.

As a conselation, at least I managed to land a Mag 58.

I guess the other (and more attainable) would be a Winchester 71 in 348.
