Now that's a challenge (since I have so many).     
Dug up a few old pictures of some of them, but missing are pics of most of the 17's and 17 wildcats I was using before switching back to traditional black powder hunting for predators about 3 1/2 years ago.

Here's a few anyway...

Bullberry 17HMR for fox.


Cooper Classic 17 Ackley Hornet


Browning High Wall 22 Varminter


Brownig Low Wall 22 Hornet


Contender Stealth w/custom 6X47 barrel, Choate folding stock.


Custom Sako/Douglas L461 Vixen 222 Rem


Semi custom Remington 700 VS 223 Rem


Have 15 ML's, but two 32's and two 36's are dedicated to predators and varmints.  This one is a semi custom TC Hawken 36 with 4X brass scope.    Also has 45 & 50 barrels, both flint/cap locks, several sight sets and a palm rest.

I know you said "rifles", but since I have been a serious handgun hunter for over 40 years, probably as much of my predator calling was done with specialty pistols as with rifles before I went back to black powder.     Have lots of TC's and lot's of custom barrels (don't ask), still a few bolters and several SAA's that were all used for predators and varmints.   Will just post a few...


Bullberry Contender - 17 Ackley Hornet


Bullberry/Bower Contender - 6.5 Super Bower


Custom Sako A1 - 6TCU


Custom Remington XP-100 - 223 Remington


Remington XP-100 - 221 Fireball

[studabaka]

Larry, I am at a complete loss for words. Amazing

[coyotehunter_1]

Makes me want to get a new stock made for my factory XP-100. Simply beautiful !

[Ladobe]

Thanks gents.   Don't have an exact count, but have around 60 firearms and dozens of custom wildcat barrels for the (do I dare say this...) 20 Contender frames.    About a dozen of them remain unfired and NIB because I bought so many new higher end toys while I was bored at home convalescing from the accident for months, and then never got around to shooting them.   

Ed - The LW Hornet was a favorite until I got my three 17 Ackley Hornets 6-7 years ago.   The 17AH all but retired all of my 22 Hornet rifles and pistols because it does so much more so much better.    The 17AH is the most fun you can have with your clothes on.   But my favorite 22 Hornet of all is a 1949 BRNO ZKW with fancy factory wood I finally found about 3 years ago after looking for a special one for about 45 years.   Grandpa taught me how to shoot with his Plain Jane 1949 ZKW Hornet in the early 50's, but had sold it before he died when I was 13.  Cost me way more the what the LW's go for even now, but I'm glad i finally found one.   Gave up looking for a spare clip for it though after 2 years of searching here, Canada, Europe and Oz (and they go for $200 or more anyway).

Chet -  Unfortunately, the best source for custom XP mid grip stocks dried up about 3 years ago due to retirement (was in his 80's).   As of about 2 years ago you could still buy inletted/roughed out blanks from him though, but he was shipping the best wood on a first come basis so have no idea what if any he has left.   Can dig out his contact info if you need it.    I have one out of figured walnut that I am making myself from scratch for my XP 7mmBR, and a couple of my XP's wear the old Fajen Victory stocks (which are now pretty rare and costly too).

Man Larry theres some nice firearms with some serious wood there!!!! I really like that bullberry 17hmr and the XP-100 .223. Those are darn toot'n sweet!   

[Bowhunter57]

After purchasing my Rock River Arms A4, I wished I'd have purchased one years ago. Extemely accurate!
Wilson SS 16" Varmint barrel with a 1:9 twist, NM trigger, Hogue combat grip (green), 6-position collapsable stock (green), aluminum free-float tube, flat-topped upper with a Tasco Pro-Point.


Good hunting, Bowhunter57

Me & Lil-man will post a pic or three tonight. Cam is going to love this one...

OK. Here's a couple of mine and all of Cams. He insisted...


Cams Win. .243 Mdl 70 with a camo Bell & Carlson stock on top. My Howa MDl 1500 in .204


My Savage Mdl 93R17 in 17HMR on top and Cams Savage Mark II in .22


My Marlins. Mdl 60 .22 on top and Mdl 25m .22mag on bottom.

And the group wouldn't be complete without Cams three Dasiy's. LOL The top one is actually fun to shoot. It will kill black birds way out there.

Also have a Rem Mdl 700 in 22-250 but the brother has it right now for the whistle pigs.

[HaMeR]
