Thanks

I like my 10/22.....just like some people loved the original Volkswagen beetel....beauty can be value / function as well as looks.

An Anschutz in fancy wood or something like a high end custom cooper in fancy wood will most likely be what most will choose...the CZ is pretty slick as well

For me the 1972 beetle was beautiful and so is my 10/22 ...basically for the same reasons

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.!! I personally have a weakness for a nicely figured wood stock but the rifle has to be accurate as well as pretty otherwise it is is just `eye candy`with no practical purpose.

It's in the eye of the beholder, but I think form follows function, and this one looks pretty good to me.

The remington 541 is an awfully attractive rifle in the sporters...

 

[tjhaile]

I would have to pick the Cooper as my first choice. Honourable mention goes to the Winchester Model 52 Sporter and the Steyr Zephyr.

Remington

Here is my favorite no question. Full custom shop Remington 40X Sporter.

Rolling block with birds eye maple furniture.

My vote, from the Rimfire Pics thread:

Mark

 

[ben hunchak]

I agree somewhat with cONTRACT except,it's not a rolling block, but a Martini. My other choices would be some of the beautiful gallery .22s turned out by Stevens (Walnut Hill), Ballard(of course), Winchester 1885s.....

I like Remington model 5's and their old 80's style 552 and 572.

 

[JAGDMORDER]

Come on ,no 597 with the factory grey stock..?

 

[Bull's-Eye]

That cooper that bullseye had done in HMR would be...if it was not in HMR

Thanks Wrong Way and MMattockx. .17 HMR

Any martini will do. Here's my model 15 special stock edition made in 1931.

....beauty can be value / function as well as looks.

Shooting and guns are so much more than the hardware itself, it's about experiences as far as I'm concerned. They're more like companions...but who doesn't like a nice-looking one of those.

As far as I'm concerned, CZs have the nicest aesthetics for the money. Their lack of unnecessary frills and clean lines really speak to me. The satin-black, robust receiver mated with the beautifully finished barrels..I don't know, pretty sweet. The idea of owning a Cooper like the one pictured certainly makes the mind wonder... but it's far enough out of my $-realm to imagine ever clamping a bipod to it, rambling through freshly cut hay fields, laying in the dirt...lining-up groundhogs...I'd be paranoid about every scratch, any drop of rain, etc.
