I think its odd, but the one of mine that gets the most attention is an old 1939 mauser that I've sporterized to a scout rifle configuration. Once I let someone shoots it - others ljust seem to ine up for their turn. Got to admit that its the quickest rifle for target acquisition I've got. And really easy to hit with! With 8x57 milsup ammo still cheap, I let em shoot it alot. Have to clean it good that same day when corosive ammo is used, but I don't mind as I take the opportunity to work on the trigger pull each time its apart.
