Guns, Bows, Shooting Sports, and Hunting The coolest gun

[KBurgoyne]

Just curious what is the coolest gun you've seen or heard of. My vote goes to the Szecsei and fuchs double barrel bolt action. Available in side by side or over under .17 to .700 caliber, and it can be yours starting at a miserly $70,000, or you can get the rimfire version starting at only $24,000. The inventor came up with the thing after he was charged simultaneously by three elephants while carrying a two shooter. Three pulls of the bolt gets you six shots.

That is a pretty cool gun. I believe there is an example of the same one on display at the NRA Museum - the story sounds right. If you ever get a chance to go there, it is well worth the trip, as there are many unique and one of a kind guns. I also got to see the Girondoni air rifle at the Pentagon. It was the rifle that Lewis and Clark took with them. I got the information for it right here on TDR! The display said there are believed to be as many as three air rifles that were taken with the Corps of Discovery.

I've held several guns that were engraved by Rudolph Kornbrath (widely regarded as the best engraver to ever apply his craft). Two such examples were from the long defunct Hoffman Arms (America's premier gun maker???) If Kornbrath was involved, the final piece was a work of art. The rifle that just made my knees buckle was a Kurz Mauser, quarter-rib, half octagon barrel, express sights, and chambered in .25 caliber (forgive me, I forget the exact chambering).
I know coveting something isn't healthy for one's soul, but............

A Monarch grade Savage 99 will put a lump in your throat, and a slight tremble in your hands as well. To give you an idea of their worth, one man who collected, then sold two of 'em paid cash for his 160 acres, and new home (upstate NY) with the profits. I've got his # if you're a Savage fan.
Beware (don't say I didn't warn ya).

Beautiful examples.

Call me a bit off, but my "coolest" gun is Jack O'Connor's Model 70 in 375 H&H that Al Biesen built back in 1960. A friend of his, Bob Lee, owns it now.

My 2nd "coolest" is Jack's .270 which is on display at his Heritage Center in Lewiston, Idaho.

I must be too simple........I like the SPAS-12.

The Heritage Center, and the Cody Firearms Museum are "must see" attractions for gun-nuts. There's enough cool 'tween 'em to extinguish the sun!

My current favorite is my NULA .284 with 28" SS Douglas barrel. Pretty conventional compared to some of the above, but light, accurate, excellent velocity for a hunting piece. Those O'Connor/Biesen rifles would be very nice to see, hold, shoot, however.

Is there really a gun that isn't the coolest.

Frankly I'm a fan of them all.

Always have and will be; a gun fanatic.
