What is your 'Holy Grail' Rifle/Cartridge?

[catnthehatt]

I was wondering when that nice Winchester of yours was going to show up, Chuck!

My Holy Grail of rifles seems to show up on the EE at least once a week.

Mine is a Remington 7600 chambered for the 35 Whelen...took 6 years to find and I'll never part with it! Lol!

Funny, but I was just gawking at that 303 of yours. What a nice rifle that is!

I don't know about "Holy Grail" but this is the finest firearm that I own and it is in the unequivocal "Holy Grail" of all cartridges..........The .375 Holland & Holland Belted Magnum............

It is a Sako A IV Safari I just had restocked and satin blued, not matte but more like a rust satin blue. It holds 5 rounds under and 1 up, quarter rib with express sights, barrel band sling swivel and banded front sight and a 2.5-8 Leupold Vari X III which I'm seriously thinking of changing to a Zeiss Victory Diavari 1.5-6X.

















And this is how she shoots..............

Douglas.... thats a truly beautiful rifle, absolutely awesome wood.
And the grand old 375 H&H is a timeless cartridge that will never become obsolete.
That very excellent rifle and the 375 H&H are an unbeatable combination..... Thanks for sharing..

My grandpa had his gunsmith friend build for him in the eighties. My cousin who doesn't believe in guns inherited it I am trying to weasel my way into it. It is in 6.5-300 weatherby.

Any rifle chambered in a 358 norma magnum

The .375 Holland & Holland Belted Magnum... and a 2.5-8 Leupold Vari X III which I'm seriously thinking of changing to a Zeiss Victory Diavari 1.5-6X...

That is a beautiful piece and in a worthy cartridge...

Considering the chambering, 1.5X might be nice on the bottom, when you REALLY need quick acquisition...

Kinda' partial to that calibre as well.Must be as I now have a pair. On top, a Husqvarna model 1651 and a Schultz & Larsen model 68DL.

Winchester Model 70 Featherweight 6.5x55mm

After shooting a buddy's Winchester Model 70 FW in 6.5x55mm circa 1991 that rifle/ctg combo became my 'holy grail'.

They were seemingly "unobtainium" for me until a couple years ago when I was able to score one for myself.

Very nice. A number of years back I sold one I had in 7x57 Mauser to a young guy in our martial atrs club. Here's another model 70 I had, this one in 300WM.
