Ugliest rifles?
#1
What in your opinion is the ugliest rifle on the market today? or name a few/bunch. I think most major companies make a few nice rifles, followed by a lot of UGLY ones.
Personally I think the ugliest rifle that should be allowed would be a synthetic with a blued barrel, something decent looking/simple/functional, but these ugly/hideous rifles need to go.

I remeber looking at winchesters website right prior to closing shop......and thinking, like, 9/10 of these rifles are hideous/ would never own, maybe 1 or 2 I'd consider, though I think none of them were nice. Maybe I'm too conservative in my approach, but arent gun guys conservatives? Build a nice gun, no funky designs, and it'll sell. I don't need vent holes like it's a porsche. If companie sjust built a solid, wood stock, with blued or stainless barrel, and a nice synthetic, don't make it like a toy gun, but a nice synthetic like an HS stock, and a premium stock would be a nice option as well. that like 4-6 types total, I don't think every company needs 20-40 options. Plus you could build 6 options cheaper than you can 40

Front runnerhas to be the rem 710.It's replacement the 770 model looks to be comfortable in taking over that placement for current production rifles

Probably get flamed for this as these are very popularbut the TC flex tech pro hunter stock is butt ugly IMHO[:'(].I have yet to shoot one so maybe the F' ugly has a purpose

I think that a lot of the Savage rifles are pretty ugly.... that is until I see how deadly accurate they are.
A lot of guns now are coming with those laminated stocks.... and I think those things are just hideous! The Rem 798 for example.... and the VLS... and the Ruger 77 that has the same sort of design.... nasty.

As I see it, buy a pretty rifle and hang it over the fire place, The only ugly rifle I know of are painted up ones like those pretty pink ones. If it shoots and feels good use it. I don't care much for the looks of synthetic stocks, but they are nice when you really hunt hard with your gun and don't worry about putting a scratch on your pretty rifle.
