Anyone have a Stalking rifle to flaunt?

[SHELL SHUCKER]

My latest stalkin' rifle be a Ruger American Ranch in .450 BM. Not classy in the Euro way, but this bugger handles so well fer me and be only about 6.5 lbs.


This wee Rossi RH in .45 Colt has seen a fair bit of woods skulking and fun shooting over the years and it be my favorite carry rifle. Tight shooter with hardcast loads.

I need to get better pics of this one... 7x57, aka .275 Rigby. Almost, but not quite perfect.

Well, first off, your rifle is beautiful! Next, you may think you need better pics, but those are excellent, better than 98% that get posted (says the guy who can't post any). But lastly: I know this is a stupid question, and I'm sure any number of people are going to chime in and tell me it's a stupid question, but I look at those pictures and the first thing that comes into my mind is not "What a great rifle!", but "What the hell is holding that rifle up???"

Photoshop. It was suspended on a cleaning rod for pics, then digitally removed.

This is a long term project I've managed to rough out. It began life as a 6.5x55 CG-36 and is designed for cold weather prairie deer stalking.

 

[Why not?]

Now, that is a classic stock. very nice work.

Wow, that is one clean CG-36. The natural finish looks fantastic.

 

[Dogfish858]

Thanks. I had the Soderin sight slot welded and stoned it back.

This be my LE build as a medium weight stalker in .32-40 Win which is used mainly for pest critters & plinkin'.

My kinda thread. Got a real soft spot for old World European stalking rifles.
Modified full stock sako 85 carbine 6.5x55

I only just spotted this while scanning backwards through the thread. Gorgeous rifle, and in my favourite caliber, too.
