7x57 in a Krieger barrel on a pre-64 M 70 all rust blued in a nice piece of walnut, 2.5-8 Leupold in Talley rings. Be a nice classy killer. I might not even hang it in the apple tree to paint it camo. | |||

Custom = valueable = beautiful = accurate = pleasure Single shot 2506 or 257roberts Can always use a factory 3006 when the hunting is harder and practical doesn't require custom. | |||

I picked 32 up, I would probably go with a 35 whelen if I were only going to have one custom. In fact, I would like to get a full blown custom made out of my Rem. 1917 whelen. I think the 35 bore is very underrated and less popular than it deserves. Yup, I think that would be it. Red | |||

You folks certainly have some gorgeous rifles in your heads. For my part, I think my dream rifle might alredy have been made. Just put a pre-war Rigby .275 in my hands and I think I'll be done. "How do you know this to be true?" -- Finn Aagaard | |||

I thought I was going to be the only one who would take the 7X57 .......... think again. You guys have good taste. I already have mine, a BRNO 22, with some of Tom Burgess's rings. | |||

If it had to be something classic, depending on what you would like to hunt with it: .257 Roberts, 6.5x55, 7x57, .270 Win, .300 Win Mag, .338 Win Mag or .375 H&H. I'd probably go for the .257 Roberts. - mike ********************* The rifle is a noble weapon...

8x57 why? because it will handle every type of game down here from dingos to buff It's mercy, compassion and forgiveness I lack; not rationality. | |||
|
<JOHAN> |
Well, It should be something classic, like 6,5X55, 6,5X57, 7X57, 7X64, 8X64S, 8X68S, 9,3X62 or 9,3X64. Cheers /JOHAN | ||

A pair of Mauser action custom rifles in 7x57 and 9.3x62mm, would do for everything I hunt. Cheers, | |||

7X57 would be my pick IF That custom was on a Mauser action (it would be.) If not maybe a .257 Roberts but, a .270win would really get me excited. Terry -------------------------------------------- Well, other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play? | |||

Three hard choices: First a Hagn Single shot, exhibition english walnut, ebony forend, Swarovski 3-12x50 rail mount in 6.5x65R or 7x65R or 30R Blaser. 2nd, a M700 Miller Company rifle built like Craig Boddingtons left hand 7mm Rem Mag, but in 280. 2.5-10 Swaro 1 inch. 3rd, a Holland and Holland new mag mauser 300 H&H, built full out. 3-12x50 Swaro with G&H side mount. | |||

I think if I had the right actions......and considering everything & only two rifles I would choose a 30/06 & a .416 Rigby. In fact I would be happy to have these on fully custmoized cz actions. No longer have an 06 but have used mine and others enough to know it is very effective and one can load 110 gr to 220 gr. And the .416 well I can load from 300 gr to 450 gr. I think there is not much these two rounds won't do and a big enough gap between them. | |||

i would have to make the choice on the day i gave someone else the money 376 steyr or 358 winchester... "once in a lifetime" rifle? I read into that this is to be a totally custom gun, that you would consider an AAR (all around rifle) jeffe opinions vary band of bubbas and STC hunting Club Information on Ammoguide about the416AR, 458AR, 470AR, 500AR What is an AR round?

Put me in with the 7x57 crowd. 25 years ago, when my two boys were in their teens, we decided that the very best Deer hunting cartridge for here in Michigan was a 7x57. So, all three of us wound up with one. My youngest son, 14 at the time, wanted to finish a stock for his, which he did, and did well. The three of us still use the 7mm Mauser. Great bullets, great accuracy, user friendly recoil.. What more can I ask for?? Don | |||

If I could have only one full on custom then I would go with a DGR in a suitable caliber. The 458 Lott makes a lot of sense but I could easily do with anything 458 and up. A good double would do here very nicely as well. This is the only hunting that can get you killed buy the game you persue (within reason). There are enough factory or semi factory (cooper, kimber etc.) that make satisfactory rifles for everything else. Still I would hope that I could do a bit of tweeking on the rifles myself to make them more to my liking (bedding, acton smoothing, feed ramp polishing etc). I shoot a lot of varmints but there are enough long range factory guns out there that I think even that can be covered with an off the shelf gun. John | |||

Add TrapperP in the 7X57 crowd. When you qualified it with having any factory gun I want plus the one custom my mouth started to water think of how the 7X57 Mauser would look - Mauser action, of course! Probably one of the old FN's would be nice, then go from there! Lord, give me patience 'cuz if you give me strength I'll need bail money!! 'TrapperP' | |||

I will say that after a custom 35 whelen (improved by the way) on an enfield the 275 Rigby was my next choice. My argentine mauser with an octagon barrel, done up in english or turkish walnut, horn tip and cap and the works. But after seeing that Ultimate Enfield collaboration between Burgess and Fisher I have one dream rifle at the top of the list, cartridge not as important as the rifle itself, because there are quite a few that will get the job done.

Tough call. I guess I'd go for a 358 Norma if I wasn't going to be hunting outside of North America at all. That is a very versatile cartridge. If Africa was even a remote possibility, a 375 H&H definitely.

I am surprised this question has so many answears while the truth is so clear and simpel. The answear is a british style custom rifle based upon a Mauser 98 action above a Pete Griesel magazine box, full of beatiful 300 H&H cartridges. Martin | |||
