You want to buy something special, you want to treat yourself, what rifle do you buy?

[Northern Shooter]

What would your “special occasion” rifle purchase be?

I don’t mean mean unlimited budget but something that would be realistically within your means.

You have a special anniversary, a significant accomplishment or milestone hunt coming up; which rifle do you buy?

I’m currently leaning towards a quality, semi bespoke CRF magazine rifle for this goal.

A Mauser M98 Magnum Diplomat in 416 Rigby is what comes to mind.

Classic Mauser name and legendary CRF action, full length magnum cartridge, 4+1 capacity, nitrided finish, no frills utilitarian prestige vs some of its British counterparts, single square bridge with express sights, attainable price point…

What about you?

I would do a Rigby Highland Stalker in your desired caliber if it was me

I already did with a Blaser R8 and five barrels… so far. But if I could add a special rifle it would be a Blaser K95 with 6..5x55 and .300Win mag barrels.

I really like this rifle in the classifieds, if I had the money I would buy it for Christmas.

I've been thinking lately to treat my self with a colt 1911, 45 acp, single stack, classic. Nickle plated.

A quality semi-custom bolt gun in 458 Lott. Or if the stars lined up, a vintage double in 577 NE.

Those two cartridges would round out my large bore gun collection nicely.

Several years back, my dad had abruptly retired from the company he pioneered. I was left, along with my brother, to run the business.

I pushed hard to grow and take risks that offered rewards. The day I signed the contract for the biggest job our company had ever done is the same day I purchased this rifle.

A Cooper model 52 in 30-06.

Not sure, probably a nice bolt action in a Mauser action with great glass. Realistically probably somewhere in the plains game span of cartridges ..

7x64 is sounding good at the moment.

I did tha last year. A Mauser 98 Manum expert in 450 Rigby. I am very happy with that.

For my plumbing apprenticeship graduation in May, I purchased a NIB Winchester Safari in .375 H&H. As long as it is accurate, I plan to keep this one.
