Marlin 1895 Classic - 45-70:
Now wears a red dot, sling, stock sleeve with bullet loops, and a limbsaver pad

Savage 114 Euro Classic - 30-06:
Now wears a Bushnell Trophy 1.75 - 4 x 32, Though that will likely move to another rifle and will be replaced by an Elite 3200 or a VX-1 once cash is flowing again.

My Marlin 44 magnum - a bit beat up, blue wearing off in spots, shoots great and I will never sell it.

Bought it off a member here (can't remember who) and these pics are from the FS ad. I keep meaning to take a couple pics when I am out with it, but never remember.

I don't have any 'safe Queens' or any that don't get 'used' when they get the call. If they don't get use, they're history.

To begin with, I thought it appropriate to start off with the first centerfire rifle I ever shot. An old well used and experienced 1894 Marlin in 44-40.

Kurgan, is that one rifle a .22 Hornet? Looks nice :cheers:

Yep, its a Zastava .22 Hornet that I purchased from Marstar (John's Gun Vault). Only a few were built by Zastava for Marstar Canada, as the Balkan war killed the project. Similarly, Zastava builds the Remington 799.

Nice photos guys, keep 'em coming! Judging by the photos posted so far, I know nothing about artistic photography! :rolleyes: :D

You must not be in BC we aren't allowed to hunt with a barrel shorter than 12" here so that is a cool little unit...

This is my little guys first working gun a 16.5" 22LR match chambered T/C Contender carbine OAL = 26 3/8" weighs 4.7 pounds.

All of my guns are working guns and each has a job it excels @ there is of course some over lap... :D

Here are my last 2 and favorite rifles right now...

OD green Robinson Arms XCR-L in 6.8spc one of the first 3 into Canada

21" barreled Rem 700 LSS in 375RUM when I pack this rifle for defense I remove the scope and install an XS Sights backup ghost ring sight that I keep in the butt stock pouch, to me this is the ultimate do everything rifle loaded with 260gr Accubonds @ 3020fps I have no issues with reaching out to 500 yards and with the scope removed I load it with 350gr TSX @ 2450fps giving the ultimate defense round for when I am working in remote areas.

My Vanguard 300 Win Mag for about 95% of my hunting. Wears a Pacific Research stock, Leupold VX-III 4.5x14x40 on Leupold bases and Burris Signature rings, Harris bipod, glass bedding and all metal refinished by Martini & Hagn. If I'm up to it, will shoot Federal Premium 130 Barnes TTSX into 1/2" groups...

When mule deer and elk season ends, I like to turn to this puppy for whitetails. Marlin 336 30-30, Bushnell Elite 3x9x40 Compact on Leupold one piece and Burris Signature medium rings. Puts LeverEvolution 165s into 1" to 1.5" groups @ 100 yds...

Here's two of my "working" guns. The Savage has been in continuous use since I bought it new in about 1967 or so. It is 20ga/.22. The Winchester is a .32 Winchester Special, circa 1950, and has been my deer rifle for a few years.

Not all my guns are "working", as I have been collecting since I was about 13, or 50 years. The Savage is one of the very few that I have purchased new, as I collect mostly military surplus.
