CZ 550 American Classic. Just worked up a very promising load for the range. No group to show for score yet, but I think it's almost there. Shoots like a champ, and hell on squash.

Savage 11/111 Hog Hunter:

Accutrigger is amazing, threaded barrel and decent iron sights. Didn't break the bank and is a much better rifle than I am a shooter.

CZ550 Varmint w/ walnut stock and PTR91
I have both of these excellent rifles. 243 is my favorite caliber, but 308 is also a whole lot of fun.
Shot a prairie dog on the run with the PTR91 at 400+ yards in front of witnesses. Both are excellent firearms. Hard to say which is my favorite, but I think it is probably the outstanding CZ. With the 10 round magazines it is such a pleasure to shoot. I use Lapua brass and bullets in the CZ, but for the PTR it is milsurp brass and Lapua bullets for accuracy purposes, but even then the Hornady 147 grain FMJ bullets will shoot right at an inch at 100 yards through the PTR91.
It is such a pleasure to get out on the prairie and be able to hit what I am aiming for.
CZ:
PTR91:
Heavy buffer custom install in the Magpul PRS stock by Mike Six at Hickman Rifles in Colorado Springs, an excellent gunsmith with great patience for putting up with my hairbrained ideas and seeing them through to fruition!:
I so rarely shoot either of these rifles, each is a treat in its own way. I have changed out the scope to the Hensholdt FeroZ24 due to function issues since the photo second above was snapped.
The Bill Springfield paddle mag conversion has made it quite a bit more friendly to shoot, as has his trigger. Nice and clean and predictable:
Amazing how happy these rifles make me.
As I sit here I recollect I've had the PTR91 for 10 years now, the CZ for 5 or 6 years. Time slips away so quickly. Perhaps the self anointed, "elected," officials will allow my children to inherit these rifles.

These are old pics with a tiny nikon I had on it until I bought the larger one, but they will do. It is a Mauser action with a surplus machine gun barrel that was cut down. This gun weighs in at 17 pounds without the scope! It is a blast to shoot. It takes a long time to heat this barrel up.

I picked up a base model DPMS for a future build in .257AI. For now it runs a 2" 100yd group not really impressive to me.

Marlin XS7 with a weaver 4-10x44, Boyd Stock and Caldwell bipod. Easily one of the least expensive guns I have, yet one of the most accurate.

I am so jealous right now. That is my Make-A-Wish gun.I have a few, this one likely gets the cool award.
Don't have a .308 Win yet, but I may sneak down to the LGS and order up a Savage Axis lefty bolt gun in .308Win. That is the only rifle I'm currently hankering for.

I am unable to locate my camera at the moment to showcase an oddball, but I love my Spanish FR-8.
She's short, light, and furious with her recoil. Couldn't ask for a better truck gun.

Savage 10FP 20" in .308, pre-accutrigger model, adjusted the trigger myself and now it's down to around 2lb. 1" groups with surplus ammo @ 100 yards. Simmons ProHunter mildot scope, and probably the only bolt-action I will ever own.

Very nice Rifles everyone! My .308 is "just" a Savage Axis XP.
I've added a camo sling, custom cheek rest, cartridge holder, and UTG bipod so far. I have a one piece weaver base waiting for a centerpoint 4-16x40 scope to replace the Bushnell 3-9x40 that came with it. It shot 1" groups at 100 yards with Federal GMM 168gr SMK BTHP right out of the box, and picked off a clay at 210 yards with 150gr Federal Power Shok. Just started reloading and will be working out a pet load for my baby soon with the same bullet as well as 150 and 165gr sierra gameking's over IMR4895. Can't wait to stretch it out to 300, 400, and hopefully 500 yards (maybe further if I can)
It may be an 'entry level' gun but I couldn't be happier or more impressed for my first centerfire rifle especially for less than $400 total cost ($329 for the rifle plus accessories).
