Which rifle do we crown as the best looking ever?

11 lbs for a .450-400?

At 12lbs scoped, this wouldn’t be the funnest gun to carry all day in the bush, but it would be the mildest recoiling dangerous game double ever made. With 15-3/8” LOP it would fit a giant man that hates recoil. (I’m one of those, but I don’t need such a gun at the moment)
 
The Lee enfild rifles are quite something pretty to me, and the Winchester 1895, and the rotary rounds. All of these rifles would be very nice to own

There may be no answer, just curious individual consensus.
