Thanks for all the replies on the other thread, but now lets talk about the "Unique" factory Rifles you own.....
I own a stainless Ruger M77 in 7.62x39, with the Boat paddle stock. Great shooting little rifle, but I have only seen 1 other and it was a Blued in a Boat paddle stock,Ugly to my eyes.
I also own and shoot a Blued Ruger M77/44 mag. My oldest son own the only other one I know of or have ever seen at the range. Another fun, and cheap to shoot little rifle. Lots of fun, as it looks and feels like my own 'Safari" rifle. I'll never get the chance to got to Africa, but this is what I think a "Safari" rifle would look like, with a BIG Hole in the right end of the barrel.
I also shoot a Ruger #1 in 45/70 that I found for a song years ago. Most beautiful Rifle I own. Supurb wood on it. If I load it heavy tho it'll scuff my elbows bloody from a concrete bench. Thats no fun. :)
 
I don't have a unique gun, but I have one that was only made for one run (about 2000 of them in 1973).

It looks like any Marlin 39M Mountie...

...until you look at the barrel.

A Martini Henry type action, but with an exposed center hammer. It's probably not "unique", but I've never seen another.

This is three of my 1/2 action Martini Henrys, the top one is also pretty rare - a cadet style rifle in .300 Sherwood, and the bottom one is pretty standard in .380 Long Centerfire. I've got another plainer one in .450 1 1/2" but no pics to load up.

Not super unique, but I bought the first SKS type M I ever saw. It is in my car's trunk right now.
 
My fairly rare Tri-C Fox Wasp Carbine, in .45 ACP:

There's one reason some guns, and other things, are rare, that being that they really weren't excellent performers. While the Fox Wasp is kinda cool lookin', it fires from an open bolt and it's very hard to be at all accurate with it.

And the combination lock on the side is for the safety.
 
I have a 1966 Remington 700 BDL in .280Rem it is one of 122 made that year in .280Rem. I have the box and papers that it came with. It has been shot less than 10 times. Never had a scope mounted and it looks in 100% condition. How is that for 'unique'?

I also have a Ruger 77/44 stainless that sees a lot of time afield. Its too handy, light and accurate to be a safe queen.

UNIQUE-FMR RS-1 in .260 Remington. The company is the result of two boutique gun makers in France merging. i.e. FMR and Unique.
