Pictures of your rifles
We have seen a lot of AR members trophies but not to many pictures of the tools to gather the trophies.

Lets see the pictures of your rifles and other "hardware"

I only have these of my .416 Rigby but will take better ones this afternoon

I can't compete with anyone here on the high end ($) on these rifles.
Here's my left handed M70 375 H&H. It actually has fairly nice wood for a factory rifle but the factory finish and stain would have to be stripped off to see it.

Jorge, Those aren't "hunting rifles" until I've actually taken them hunting. This one IS a hunting rifle...Mauser 416 Rigby by Joe Smithson.

For gunsmith work you can thank William's Gunsight, NECG and our own Vapodog. BTW- the stock is factory wood but the real ebony was added later.

I'm getting very jealous. Will have to send my .395 Max off for sights, bluing, etc. next week. The stock still has me going back and forth (up and down) on what I want on it.

We all need to get over "wood envy", an almost fatal affliction with certain middle aged males in America. Time for a plastic stock just to provide a counterpoint:

Into my heart on air that kills
From yon far country blows:
What are those blue remembered hills,
What spires, what farms are those?
That is the land of lost content,
I see it shining plain,
The happy highways where I went
And cannot come again.
