The Ideal Custom-Made Rifle

[H. Godwineson]

Alright all you BB posters who hunt or collect firearms, I have a couple of questions to ask.

If you could have one custom-made rifle for hunting, what would it be?  Give barrel length, stock material, type of sight,  or anything special that meets your special needs or desires.

Or list the one factory manufactured rifle that you have always wanted but have never been able to buy.


I would like to have a rifle built along the lines of the old Mannlicher-Schoenauer carbine.  It would have a 20 inch, hammer-forged barrel, with the hammer-marks polished but still visible with a dark bluing job.  The action would be a bolt-action with a butter-knife style bolt with the bolt rails and feed ramp highly polished and the bolt itself having a jeweled finish.  The stock would be walnut with a fiddle-back figure to the wood.  The butt-stock would have a classic style conficuration, with a full-length mannlicher style forearm with a barrel band.  The barrel would have Ruger style iron sights and would be drilled and tapped for scope bases and rings.  


Regards, Shuckins

I saw a book once that described how to make a sniper rifle in the comfort of your own garage using readily-available components, except that you had to provide your own .50cal machine gun barrel.

for hunting I'm still partial to a plain old springfeild .30-06
not to expensive.  go 180 grain for elk, 150 for deer, and those 50 grain .25cal excellerators are just awsome for small game(gotta love any round that goes over mach4)

But in a F350 with a topper....

lol, it's aimed the wrong way.
 
on the frwy I have no problem with the cars I've already passed.  it's the slow ones in front(in the fast lane) who that would be handy for.

Ripsnort,

I take it that you don't have much trouble with people stealing your parking space, do you?

Guns, sch-muns

If it aint got a guidance system or propelled via a rocket motor, I aint hunting with it  

In 2 more years, when the statue of limitations are up, I can fully discuss the hunting trip with the TOW missile we bought

1952 j.c. higgins model 50 ( fabrique national 98 mauser 3 bolt )  in .270  with chrome bore, trigger  is fine but replace safety.

i dont like Mannlicher stocks . black 500 year fiberglass. screw iron sights 4X i find is better for actualy hitting things.

can take anyting less than large thick skined african game can be built for under 500 bucks and doesent tear up the meat like alot of the he man cannons.

there is no better all around rifle.
