Pretty & Classy rifles. Lets see them!

These are some beautiful rifles. I only have one wood-stocked rifle, a Tikka T3X. It can't compete with these, especially with a big SWFA scope up top.
 
It doesn't compare to the rifles on this thread, but this is a rifle I love. First off, it was handed down by my Dad. It's a 1939 Remington 22 LR which was pretty beat up but has been cold-blued and refinished with BLO. The simplicity and feel of it gets me every time I pick it up:

I had 2 Sakos in college, one 222 mag and one 222 that were my first really accurate rifles. I saved $250 from summer work and bought a third, a Forrester action in the original stock that was a wildcat 6.5X284 (for that price I got dies and cases too!) traded them off over the years, wish I had kept at least one! Kept me collecting wildcat rifles ever since.
 
Two of my favorites, a Model 94 deluxe take down with exhibition wood and pencil carbine length barrel in 30-30, a Model 70 Super grade 257 Roberts ca. 1952, fancy wood for a super grade so probably special order. Shot two white tails with 94 and 3-4 with the 257 then they became safe queens.

Three amigos, Ballard 40-65, 45-70 (middle stainless BBL) and 22 LR (my favorite) the 22 and 40-65 are identical in weight and balance so I could switch match events (silhouette) and have the same "feel" all are less than 1 moa with open sights, the 40-65 and 45-70 don't even settle down until 200 yards.
