I love my Browning Xbolt Hunter in 325WSM. Put on a Vortex Viper HS 4X16 and straight out the box it was nickel size groups at 100 yrds with the cheapest Winchester CXP3 220G I could find to start my barrel break in. Love the trigger, stock just fits right and for the cash My Vortex is amazing

Not pretty, not long . . kinda short, blunt, heavy and not too stylish... but hits like Thor's hammer and I've used it as my primary rifle so long that even much higher quality rifles don't feel right in my hands. Can't explain it, just fits me perfectly and points more comfortably and faster than anything else.

Marlin 1895 GS in 45-70.

Blaser R8. I refer to it as a "incredible work of German technology". Mine is slightly without soul, as it is in a synthetic stock, but I am working on that issue!
My Rem 660 custom, bored out to a 458x2" american. As light as most of my little 28 ga shotties, and has a terrible bite!
And the bronze medal goes to.......My custom win 70, rebarelled into a .358 norma mag. Good for anything that North America has to offer!
