My last hunting rifle is a Sako 75 Hunter in 30-06. Loves my handloads and has a love affair with the last of my 1967 vintage Lake City M72 Match ammo. All blued steel and wood. My Savage 110FP in 308 has a craplastic stock. Had to be the front receiver ring as the action was moving in the stock. My rem 700 Sendero with the composite stock gets outshot by the Savage. I accumulate old military surplus rifles all steel,blued and wood. So I guess that is where I got the bug for blued steel and wood stocks. Only own two stainless handguns all the rest are again blued steel and wood except for my Sig P6 and Sig P239 won't count the Beretta 92 FS as I haven't shot it in years. I like old single shot rifles. Swedish rolling block 8x58r, Peabody single shot in 56-50 rimfire, couple BSA martinis in 22rf, just off the top of my head. Wouldn't turn down a Ruger American bolt gun in 7.62x39 or 223/5.56. Last rifle I bought was a used Pedersoli 1874 Sharps infantry rifle in 45/70. Have yet to shoot my FN Browning Israeli 9mm High Power. Don't hunt anymore so just a paper puncher now. Frank
