I don't care what caliber. I don't care what action. Wood and blue and preferably pre 1960 are the only requirement. I'm all eyes

1952 Marlin 336 SC 30-30 that's seen a lot of woods time over the years. It still hunts as my father took a deer with it 2 years ago.

1950 Remington Model 37

Not particularly old, but decidedly old-school

How about pre 1860?

My great (x5)grandfather's original full stock percussion muzzleloader.

It was handed down through the family, and my dad had work done to get it in shooting condition. I had more extensive repairs made to get it in safe shooting condition. It was about two years in the process.
In 2015 I was able to hunt with it and harvest this buck.

My new backup rifle, vz33 mauser

My Spanish Mauser 1916/FR-7 converted to 7.62x39, along with my Spanish Star Super in 9mm Largo.

Chinese T53- 1955 date,
Ithaca 22. S, L, LR. M-49.

Winchester 1873 rifle, 3rd model, manufactured 1887, octagon barrel, caliber 32 WCF.

That has to be an awesome feeling! 6 generations down. WOW. I'm afraid to shoot my grandfather's gun at this point.

1895 chilean mauser, swede barrel in 6.5x55. Sorry, its not blued. It shot so good I had it cerakoted, im sure it had a hard life and it deserved it.

I have my 4x grandfather's rifle also. It needed extensive work to make it safe to shoot. I had the barrel freshened by Butler Pennsylvania. I shot it in a nmlra Illinois territorial match several years ago.
It is now a .45

Some 22s:

Remington "Speedmaster" 241 made in 1949:


Mossberg "New Haven" 251c actually made in New Haven and so from before 1963 when they moved production:


Remington "Scoremaster" 511 made in 1945:


J.C. Higgins 42 (Marlin 80) made in 1959:


J.C. Higgins 28 (made by High Standards) from 1951: note the charging handle on the left side;

Model 1903 Mannlicher-Schoenaur 6.5 MS, with old school Lyman Alaskan scope in old school Griffin & Howe QDT mount.

Oh, about a 1952ish Remington 722 in .257 Roberts.






A little sweetie to shoot.

Dang it Farmer, I have a rifle that came down from the wife's side, but no pics. Not sure how many X's that is. I'll have to make some pics. It came into her family around 1846, not sure when it was made before that. Was traded for an Ox.

This was made in 1876. Pre-1960 enough?

Could you post a full-length photo of that checkered '03 please?

1943 Underwood, along with some GI magazines from 1961.

Mr. Loosenock's Rem 722 in .257 Rbts really rings my bell as I consider the M-722 one of the all time great American rifles. Here is a M-722 B Grade in .222 Rem. with old school Lyman Super-Targetspot. It was a deadly combination back in the 1950's and still is
