Which rifle do we crown as the best looking ever?

The old Colt Sauer with it's wonderful lines and deep bluing.

I could never own one, as I'd drool on it every time I held it.

I personally quite like the look of the rifles from VO-Vapen in Sweden. Unfortunately they don´t have any good pics of one with irons on their website but the action (that´s quite clearly a tastefully modernised Husqvarna 1900 action) and the stock profile looks so beutifully sleek. The styling is very Swedish and I´m very impressed that they managed to do that so well. I also really love that there is a company making bespoke rifles here in little Sweden.

That's one I thought of as well. Not even the Pre 64 version either, but the more recent version with the trim Schnabel forend. I don't have one but when my brother came to me find him a deer rifle that wouldn't weigh too much or kick too hard, one of these in .270 is what I steered him to.
 
I love Rugers No.1 but I also love a classic Farquharson, the Dakota, and of course, a Sharps. If I had an extra 60-100,00 laying around, I would own a Rigby made Farquharson
Good Lord, they are beautiful!

Are they a rear locking bolt?

The lugs retract into the bolt body so the bolt diameter fits perfectly in its channel for the smoothest action I’ve ever used. It isn’t horribly inaccurate. Good enough for hunting but I’d be surprised if anyone has one that’s a real tack driver.
 
That would normally be called walnut with heavy fiddleback or tiger stripe but it's basically quilted at that point. Absolutely stunning piece of wood.

trperk1, I bought the Kimber Caprivi 375 back in an earlier post. You attached a target with an impressive three rounds touching 100 yards. I took the 2x10 VX5 off and put a VX6 HD Gen 2 1x6x24 Duplex Firedot on the rifle. It's definitely a shooter curious what loads you used for the group. Loving this rifle so fun to shoot. Africa 2026 Mozambique. Buff and PG. Any info appreciated.
