How about these
A1950's pre64 action with a 280 Rem 26" tube on a nice piece of walnut
A Pre64 300 win Mag original 1963 model
A heym SR 20N in 30-06
And Yes I do hunt with them, time and tags permitting

Latest pics of my little Brno. Someone usually "talks me out" guns like this ,so figure I better show it off while I can. I should take it out and kill a critter, that way I'd never let it go.

Holy mother that is a nice gun. I have got a thing for 7X57. It really is an awesome caliber and has a history that is probably second to none. Military, elephants ( Karamoja Bell) as well as numerous other tales about rifles in this caliber make it truly elegant and that BRNO of yours is one nice example of a great gun in a great caliber.
Poor jacky, we mustn't let him down!
This one went to the school of hard knocks this fall. Won't hold a candle to Geoff's for condition anymore but every mark has a story to tell.
Here is what my 9,3 will look like after it is redone. Stock is being finished......

That is in great shape, I will keep you posted taking pix along the way for before and after shots.
That truly is a nice piece of walnut.
Just when I think I know what I want, you all come along and post some new toys for me to salivate over.

Well, I'm not a very experienced picture poster, but I'll give it a try. This is an undrilled, untapped FN Sporter in .270. I have two of these; this one in .270, and another in .30-06, both undrilled/untapped.
If this works, I might try to post a few more.

...and an oddball Husqvarna in .30-06 - long barrel, schnabel forend, factory cross bolt at the recoil lug, 3/4 barrel band and a checkered butt with no buttplate. It also has a strange 'peaked' rear sight that I'm really fond of.
The scuzzy lace-on recoil pad is just to protect the butt, as this one went to the range with me today. It's wickedly accurate with 200 gr. Nosler Partitions; I've examined the blind hole (scope mounting) screws with a magnifying glass, and I don't think they've ever had a screwdriver in them.
This came from the first batch that T.E.C. Trade Ex brought in - while here's no way of knowing its history, it could have passed for unfired when I got it.

Boomer, a little more info. on the rifle in the bottom two pics., it speaks to me.
The rifle is a Brno ZK-47 in .30/06. I haven't had much done to it except repairing a split at the tang, bedding and cross bolting, and had the stock cut to 13.5" with the new Pachmayr ventilated recoil pad. I don't like bead sights, so I had the front sight replaced with a post, and a NECG rear sight with the aperture drilled out. The sling is the Galco Safari Ching Sling, and because the swivel studs screw into internal threaded metal ferrules I didn't want to change the studs, so I simply used fiber spacers to take the slop out of the Uncle Mikes QD swivels. The stock looked a little pale when I got the rifle, so I gave it a few coats of boiled linseed oil to bring the color out. The metal work is in need of refinishing, but I haven't decided what route to take yet, a tough bake on finish or reblue.
Elegent Hunting Rifles
There should be a Bruno society as there are some outstanding 21's out there. I have two 21's at the moment one in 7X57 and 8X57. I had to add the 1941 Portuguese K98 I consider them as elegent to the military collector.
The receiver has Patent Mannlicher Schoenauer 1903 17 1/2" carbine.
