There are a lot of very nice looking rifles out there and certainly function has a beauty all its own but nothing beats the work of art that is a British double rifle.I've always been partial to English Double Rifles.

I will probably never own one, but they are just beautiful guns.
Maybe in the US Army ,To me, it was my Winchester Model 70 - Pre 70 - .270! I stress Pre 70 which means made before 1970 when Winchester switched to production line manufacturing and away from those made and assembled by Master Gunsmiths.
The pre-70s were so accurate at even 800 yards that they were the Sniper Rifle of choice during the Vietnam War. When the military saw mine, they took it and had the stock fiberglassed to prevent damp weather in the wood from causing any shift in accuracy, the rifle's only weakness! I knew instantly where they thought I would serve! LOL
Very nice! I have an Egyptian (7.92x57) which is a little easier to feed. It would be nice to have an Argentine (7.62x51) or one from Luxembourg (30-06)!For me, it’s the FN-49 Venezuelan variant. Beautifully designed, beautiful wood stock, and an amazingly fun gun to shoot. The only bad thing about this rifle, is when you run out of ammo.
