Probably my favorite rifle a 416 Remington by Gene Simillion.It has a drop box magazine and a VX6 Leupold.I've used it on two safaris and hopefully many more.It is a pre 64 with a stainless barrel and a stainless finish on the action.

Any pics of it?

Lefty stainless classic. Started with the receiver and bottom metal, collected a factory stock off EBay, put on a red Decelerator pad, then had Hart make a factory contour barrel that I chambered in 300 H&H. H&H bolt stop and ejector, H&H mag box and follower, feed ramp and rails mod…lots of cussing later, wishing I would have just chambered it in 300WM, and it’s done.

There’s a pre64 458 win mag around here too, McMillan stock, Lilja barrel, XO sights. Beat it around SE Alaska as a guide gun for many years.

2013 Model 70 Featherweight in 270 Winchester (FN-BACO build from the South Carolina plant) on the day I brought it home almost two years ago as a 50th birthday present for myself (I really do need to get some better pictures of it). I'm not about to admit how little use it's seen since I bought it. ;-)

My grandfathers 30-06 pre-64 model 70. He was a rancher/butcher and used it to shoot cattle and hunt. Found it in his butcher shot under a table. It was plagued by rust and had duct tape holding the original stock pad. He was alive at the time I found it. My dad and I cleaned the stock up and ended up decided to cerakote the barreled action due to rust. Got to show him the final product before he passed a couple years ago at the age of 98. Finally got a nice scope to throw on it this week and gonna use it to hunt mouflon here in hawaii.

Excited to bring this rifle back in action in his memory

Not a custom, but no reason to gild the Lily! My favorite original Model 70 - a stunning ‘59 vintage Super Grade in 300 H&H. Will have to get some better pics in the sun.

My 1958 m70. It’s been customized at some point. I got if from a pawn shop and unfortunately do not know its back story. Like to know what it’s really worth. Not that it matters. I have grown quite fond of it and hopefully it will help me get my first buffalo next June.
