My personal preferences lean toward the "early longrifles" particularly WWII Axis weapons. And, Im partial to the Czech manufactured rifles.
1. Is a VZ24 Czech Mauser 8mm. Regimental tag on the buttstock is marked with the Czech Air Force identifier.
2. An all matching VZ24 8mm Contracted to Romania.
3. VZ24 Contracted initially to China. China couldnt come up wit the money, this shipment was sold to the Brazilian Revolutionarie. Cal. 7X57
4. Fabrique Nationale Mod. 24/30 contracted to Venezuela. Cal 7X57
5. A slightly modified but all matching Mod. 1908 Brazilian contract by Deutsche Waffen MunitionsFabrik Oberndorf A/n 7X57
6. A Yougoslav captured K98 Mauser 8mm
My favorite is the Czech G33/40 Fallshirmjeager/Mountain Carbine 8mm.

I just picked up a used Remington 700 in 30.06 with a Bushnell Banner 3x9scope. I plan to upgrade the scope at a later date.

I put this Gun together last month but added some stuff to it. I also coated the Aimpoint in Cerekote. I changed out the COMP M4 for a COMP ML2. The Dot in the COMP M4 was just to small. Great for reaching out to touch someone. But difficult for obtaining flash sight pictures up close.
1, SW Lower.
2. BCM Upper
3. Angled For grip. I am really liking this forward grip. It allows you to grip the Weapon naturally. The traditional vertical grip. Tends to force the shooter to pull his rounds toward his weak side when shooting fast or under stress.

Well, I've got the collection pretty well trimmed down to just the basics...(including the sweaty ol Blackhawk hat  )
Nothing fancy. I do want to add a S&W .45 to round it out. Something like a 4513, with a DA trigger similar to the snubby that I'm used to. And of course a good bolt gun for Alaska (probably .375). Well, and maybe a .357 lever gun for AZ here.
But, that's it...

Wow, there's nothing like cycling a silky-smooth Mauser action.

The Finns did a lot more than buff them up....the only part that is actually Russian is the receiver.

Bought it back when I had more dollars than sense. Still have the gun, though.
There aren't a lot of places to shoot at any real distance than isn't three or more hours one way from my house.
Got a Benelli M-1014 and USP Tactical also. Can't find pics right now.

FWIW, there is a private shooting club just south of Dover, DE (about 2 hours) that has a 600 yard range, and last I heard they were building a 1000 yard range. I can get you the info if you need it.
I also vaguely remember finding another private 1000 yard range somewhere in central PA, near Harrisburg if I remember correctly.

I've been to that PA range. That is where I took this photo.
Mifflin County Sportsman Club . . . or something like that.
3.5 hours each way, plus tolls means about $100 just to get there and back. Then about 4 bucks a shot.
But realistically, I don't have the skill (or match grade ammo) to really reach out with that rifle, so traveling to a 1k range isn't necessary, but 100yds seems kind of silly. Not a lot of training available either, so that adds to the difficulty.
I've got a coal mine I can go to, but they change the landscape around so the 600 yard long area from last year may be blocked by a couple different newly created berms this year.

Here is a Lower receiver I coated in Cerekote. Using a cheap Airbrush in my Apartment. It will go on the AR I posted above. I will be placing that Lower on a new AR I'm putting together this week. Pics to follow
1. Receiver must be Coated when stripped like in the picture.
2. Sand it down good, especially the rounded corners. Clean it with degreaser even if it's brand new.
3. Apply Cerekote, bake at 200 degrees for thirty minutes, buff out with a polishing cloth.

I took the 260 Rem XP-100R apart and prepped it and then glass bedded it. I did not get quite enough gel in place for the barrel pad but it should be enough. I will take it and shoot it and see how it does. I was getting 0.4 MOA with 130 grain Bergers but it had a really bad first shot cold barrel POI. Hopefully, bedding the recoil lug will have cured that.
