The one on the left with scope blocks appears to have a recoil pad mounted. The other rifles shown include other bolt actions and a couple of falling blocks, as best I can tell. Things were certainly different 91 years ago!

That is a tough looking team. The girl standing in the middle looks like Larry Fine. I do wonder where those nice rifles are today.
