Thread: Recommend a rifle...

Having a bit to do with a good friends S&L victory Ill add a vote. Very nice piece of wood and switch barrel as well.
S&L are currently making a fast twist 243 barrel for it on order.

Some good suggestions guys.

I'm not too keen on a custom rifle as I don't really have a specialized type of use (e.g long-range) in mind. Just want a well-built carry rifle which I can lug around the mountains for many years to come, without needing to take it to the gunsmith for a bedding job etc,etc.

With that said - I've put in an order for a Schultz and Larsen Classic DL in 6.5x55. I love the traditional look, it's got some glowing reviews, and if Tahr's one is going strong after 15 years, there must be something good going for them.

@Frodo but that is what custom means built for your needs!
Not someone else's!
So find that action get ya cartridge then ya barrel stock it d your in the clear a rifle for your needs!
I'll get some picks up of my needs in a day our so it will be in the blue and walnut section and it came in at way under ya 5k

Here are some Sauer Rifles for you to have a look at.

Was ment to add patience!! And a big dose of it! It's taken me two and a half years to get mine in my hot little hands
But it's just what I wanted

I've defaulted on the Schultz and Larsen.

Buying a Brno Model 21 off Graeme Champion instead with double set triggers, double square bridge, open sights and in great condition. Will turn it into a kick arse custom rifle with new pad, stock (once I can afford it, and keep the original as it is), and put on some quick detach rings.

Will make for a great stalking rifle. Probably not so much a long ranger though, and the blued finish isn't as weather resistant as stainless. But the finishes on the model 21/22/Zg47's are supposedly some of the best ever.

I love the lines on it, and that it's got iron sights.

Here's one Peter Ryan did up:




Looks phenomenal.
