Which rifle do we crown as the best looking ever?

View attachment 647180
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.
Love that precision adjustable cheek rest. The hard butt plate, not so much...
 
Everyone of us has the best looking rifle in his gun cabinet.
Here is mine.
FN M98 in 10,75x68.

Hi HWL,

Love all these FN rifles! After the Original Sporting Onerndorf Mauser, I see these FN the second best sporting Mauser rifles ever made.

Happy New Year!

To my mind the Holland & Holland Royal double is tops, mine is the only rifle I have that looks like it's running 100 MPH sitting on a table! Those Brits nailed that build.
 
The simple understated looks of the pre 1924 Mannlicher Schoenauer rifles draws my attention every time I have ever seen one.

Nugget here. A guide gave me the nickname as I looked similar to Nugent at the time. Hunting for over 50 years yet I am new to hunting in another country and its inherent game species. I plan to do archery. I have not yet ruled out the long iron as a tag-along for a stalk. I am still deciding on a short list of game. Not a marksman but better than average with powder and string.

Everyone always thinks about the worst thing that can happen, maybe ask yourself what's the best outcome that could happen?
