My rifle preference varies with what I am shooting. If I am at the range just messing around or in the back 40 shooting rocks its gonna be one of my family winchesters- either the 1873 44-40 from 1892 or the 1892 30-20 form 1898. They are both a hoot to shoot.

Now if we are talking hogs--it will be the Al Biesen Model 70 in 270 or if I am feeling downright mean my 1886 in Turnbull 475.

Coyotes-M70 in 220 swift

Deer- that Biesen 270 or my grandfathers 257 Roberts or Model 71 in 348

Shooting a gong at 1 mile at my friend's private range- Colt M2012 in 6.5 creedmoor

If you told me only one......there would be a lot of nashing of teeth....but it would be either the Model 71 or the Biesen 270.....I literally can't make that choice.

Lots of ivory on that top shelf Mr Cobb
Thats the problem with threads like these,so easily sidetracked.

[King Cobb]

Yeah there has been a piece of ivory and mammoth tooth added since that photo.

If Bill's post was a sidetrack, he can feel free to sidetrack it again. Good looking guns!


I have recently started expanding the rifle collection for a few reasons, the main one being my son Harry has taken interest and has some natural skill

Rifles are as addicting as Parkers/Fox ect. Pre 64 M70's and custom rifles are my Achilles heel of rifles.

I also own a 7MM, (7 X 57) Ruger. Aside from my handy Winchester 30/30, it is my favorite rifle.

Beautiful model 71. Mills if you haven't handled a 71, they are given up to be possibly the best Winchester big bore ever built. Upgrade of the 1886.
