RE: Best Rifle Ever Made
Hmmm, best rifle ever made, now that's gonna be subjective. With modern design, rifles, my favorite design is a bolt action. I didn't know which was best, so I just bought one of each of the 'common' bolt action rifles. That way I'd know, right?
Well, the bolt actions are different, but none really stand out above the rest, with the possible exception of Ruger - The Ruger 77 to me just does not have a weakness, like I have found in some of the other brands.
I can't vote for the Mauser, because it doesn't come in a left handed model - so that rules out the Mauser right there.
I'd tend to agree, a custom flavor, should probably be best. But then again most custom guns are built on a 'common' action.
So my favorite is going to leave the bolt category, and be a Drilling. Double rifles are really purrrrrtttttyyyyyy.
