Singing rifles

[zammyman]

Forgive me in advance for this thread... once I actually wake up probably will resent having posted it.

Of all the rifles out there (bolt, semi auto, lever), which makes your heart skip the most when you see it? I have to vote for the Remington 700 Mountain LSS...

This is a pointless thread I'm creating no next to 0 sleep.... so when I wake up I'll post something more relevant.

I'd have to say an M14 with a tigerstripe figured walnut stock.

 

[armoredman]

Pristine STG44.

Oh, that I could actually aquire?

DSG FAL folding stock carbine, in Rhodesian camo paint job.

 

[Prepster]

Hard to pin down my favorites, but an iron-framed 1860 Henry would make my heart skip a beat or two.

 

[.38 Special]

Original Rigby dangerous game rifles.

 

[Ignition Override]

1) One of my two MN 44s with the laminated stock.
2) The Mini 30, ss with wood: don't have an M-1 Garand.
Have no scopes, gimmicks, other fancy add-ons. Just basic rifles.
Nothing personal meant by this.

Simple military-styled rifles look like they are all business. They were all that my heroes in the world wars and later ever had in combat.

 

[franconialocal]

My tastes change often, but lately I seem to have been bitten by the FAL bug.....esp. since they may become a rarity soon

 

[mattw]

An original M1903 in pristine condition.

 

[chris in va]

Something about the MP5...

 

[HeavenlySword]

Something about the Tavor21...

Some say it looks butt-ugly, but iunno

Beautiful Tavor-21S...

 

[pbrktrt]

i'm a sucker for the Ruger #1. that's a good looking rifle.

 

[Omaha-BeenGlockin]

The old Colt/Sauer bolt actions---had the money back in the day for one but never got around to buying one.

 

[freonr22]

my winchester model 54 w/ a factory in 1929 stainless steel barrel

 

[Ben Shepherd]

A non-sporterized 30-40 Krag in good condition. That'll do it for me.

 

[MGshaggy]

Stoner SR25 with 20" Obermeyer barrel and Knights Armament suppressor.

 

[3pairs12]

The last few months for me I really have had a thing for M1a or M1 Garand

 

[bang_bang]

1. M1 Carbine
2. M1 Garand
3. 30-40 Krag
4. Russian SKS
5. Original U.S. Gov. Property 1911's

Needless to say, I own none of the above mentioned. Those are just a few of the queens I would love to add to my home.

 

[tnhunter93]

Pretty much any Mannlicher style, full stock rifle, grabs my interest.

 

[TCB in TN]

1. straight stocked lever guns (especially marlins) with real good wood.

2. Decked out bullpup EBRs like that Tavor above, or a slick Aug!

 

[Matt-J2]

M1 Garand, M1 Carbine top the list for me. Beyond that, CZ 452s always pique my interest, not sure if it's quite to the level of song, though.

 

[General Geoff]

I get worked up whenever I see an M14 pattern rifle.

 

[aka108]

A minty 1909 Peruvian contract Mauser. Most impressive is the skill of the machine operators that made these 100 years ago.

 

[spiroxlii]

There are nicer rifles out there, and there are rifles I might even prefer to shoot... but nothing makes me warm and fuzzy inside like my very first SMLE. She was the first rifle I purchased myself, and she started my C&R fever. I'll never sell or trade this rifle away, even if I acquire nicer Enfields.

*EDIT*

And yes, my SMLE is the one that has a special place in my heart even though I own a Swiss K31, even though the K31 does shoot better and is an amazing piece of machinery.
