How old ought a rifle be to be considered a classic or vintage?

 

[hoytcanon]

I would say classic and vintage are two very different things... a classic rifle could have been manufactured yesterday, more of a style thing... a vintage rifle on the other hand needs significant age, more of a time thing... how much age??? Don't think you'll get a resolution on that question, but my vote would be for Pre-64'...

Here's some Euro-Fudd! ...... BRNO 204 7x57R/12ga.

Another 'Euro', 7x57R/12ga. sans scope but an additional set of 12ga. OU barrels.

Show off... I always thought that a double rifle with 7X57R over 9.3X74R would be a very wonderful and useful combination...

The 7x57R will do most of what we would need a 9.3 to do here in Canada. Add a 12ga I/C choke and you have a very versatile combo for fur & feather.

Almost sold this one in a moment of weakness, but sure am glad I still have it now! A 50's vintage FN98 commercial in 30-06.

Doesn't get any better than that,you have one mighty fine rifle there for sure,I'm a bit envious.

Just have a pic of one vintage rifle in my possession. A North America Arms Grizzly in 308. Built on a Sako L57 action. Mildly surprised when I received it since I was expecting 2 L57 Sako's. Anyway, here she is:





Also have a 1962 Remington 700 ADL with the 20" barrel, but it's currently wearing a camo stock, so not very nice. Only other vintage I have is a Marlin 336RC from 1956 in 35 Remington.
