Maybe a bit off beat... but it is a single shot. It is still new enough to me that I haven't hunted it.

CVS Scout pistol, in 6.5 Grendel. I am working on a promising load using 156 grain Lapua Mega bullets.

This one is becoming one of my favorite field guns. Shiloh Sharps in .45-70. Somehow in its prior life the metal finish became damaged and someone poorly removed the blueing, leaving a brushed in-the-white finish. It shoots great and points well, has beautiful wood and sure don’t have to worry about hurting it!

All beautiful. However something about a 340 WM that makes my heart skip a beat! And when it looks like yours, goodness that's a fine rifle for hunting!

I bought this Ruger No.1 from a friend who was needing to pay hospital bills. I told him he could buy it back whenever, but unfortunately he passed away a couple of years later.

That's tough. Sorry to hear that. I hope you hang onto that rifle for a good long time in his memory.

Here are mine:

1 - My "baby"--H&H .375 Flanged Magnum, with which I've already hunted 3 continents (soon to be 4):

Here's my Watson Brothers Martini in .303, lying against an old pepper tree in Africa:

Here's my Westley Richards Model 97 in .500 NE, currently being worked on:

And here's my last acquisition--a lovely Alex Henry in .450 BPE:

I love my single shots--and I feel like I'm losing my innocence now that I'm planning on taking a Westley Richards Mauser as a second gun on my upcoming safari!

 

[Stompbox]

New to me model 10 in .257 RobertsView attachment 671726

It's a good shooter, pretty sure I used to own it

 

[Wahoo]

That’s outstanding! Sure looks like it- I haven’t had chance to shoot it yet. I’d love to get any history you have on it

 

[Canadaboy]

Here is my only single shot (apart from my muzzleloader). It’s a Heym 44b in .270 Win. I hunted Whitetail a bit with it this year, but haven’t harvested an animal with it yet.
It makes a nice pair with my .375H&H Heym 88b sidelock double.

Sorry for the loss of your friend, remember him with his rifle. It is beautiful.
