Man, those are nice rifles. I hope to own a 275 Bee one of these days! I think it would fill one of my caliber gaps. Scotty

I am not giving any of mine up period

anyway more realistically

I have a model 700 bdl in 7 mag that was my first rifle of my own my grand father got 4 700s in different calibers for the grand kids and I got first choice of course I took the 7 mag I was 13 and did not know any different I had the choice of 25.06 ( which turned out to be a 700 classic) 280 (which turned out to be a mountain rifle) and a 7mm 08.

I have since got the 25.06 and pretty much have the 7mm08 as well as it is my brothers and he refuses to hunt with it cause he lost a deer with it.

The bad thing is I hate to do anything to the 7 mag because then it would lose some of the nostalgia and I have since got a 270 wsm so I really have no need for the 7 mag and I kinda want to build on it but then it is never the same so I will probably send it out to get teflon coated and park it in the safe.

hopefully I will be getting another one some day my dads 721 300 h& h obviously I dont want it too soon but I really like that gun he almost had the set of 721s he still has the 270 and about 6 mos after he sold the 30.06 he found a 264 win mag I then later found out they actually made a 280 also if I ever find a 721 264 win mag I will buy it no matter what.

ANd finally 2 weeks from now I hope to get another one I cant turn loose of As I turn 30 I told mama I need a 30 caliber hopefully an 300 rum man is that going to be a money pit.

sorry for the ramble I just could not resist

Desert Fox,

Beautiful long range rig! And no long range rig would be complete without Swaro LRF. Nicely done!

I am becoming very attached to my new #1 :lol:
Wished that scope would hurry up and get here!

If I had Just one that I couldn't live without. Now it would be the 7MM RUM. :roll:

What is the one rifle you will never ever part with ? What makes it stand out in your collection more than the others?

My CZ 550 American in 9.3x62. Why? Because I took my first and second Kudu with it, on the same trip, after being skunked on two previous trips (using different rifles) trying to take a Kudu. My CZ 9.3x62 just seemed to be magic on that trip. I have a real sentimental attachment to that rifle. I've also become a big fan of the 9.3x62 cartridge.

Nice lookin critters!

 

[FOTIS]

I agree thanks for sharing the pictures.

 

[BK]

I would like to give the 9.3x62 a try... classic African cartridge, tons of effectiveness without abusing the shooter. I'm leaning more toward the CZ550FS, but that's a pretty nice looking shootin' iron.

 

[DrMike]

What a miserable world it would be were I limited to only one rifle and/or cartridge. All cartridges are interesting and fun to work with.

 

[Jeff Olsen]

That is a very tough call. ONE!?!?

It'd have to be either my 30-06 or my .358. Both have Pac-Nor tubes so I'm into each pretty good. I killed my first deer with that '06 and also another one with a really good friend I hadn't seen in a decade, so it's a "lucky rifle" for me.

I guess it'd have to be my 30-06 on financial and sentimental grounds, plus it'll kill anything I need to hunt. Ouch. Perish the thought.

 

[LyndonCombs]

I don't even want to think of having to pick only one. That would be a nightmare.

 

[FOTIS]

Welcome to the forum LC!

 

[LyndonCombs]

Thanks I look forward to talking with everyone.

Here's the gun I'll never give up, a 1950's era Savage Model 99 in 300 Savage. A hand-me down from Grandfather, to Father, to me.
