Cool Photos

[lastofthebreed]

To me, one of the coolest ways to display a gun is to place it on top of a fence post or a piece of wood. For example, check out this photo of one of my Savage 99s. It was taken on the spur of the moment as my buds and I were sitting around the campfire enjoying a cool beverage and good conversation.



Another shot I think is very cool is to display your gun with some of the game you have taken with it. If you can include a blade and some ammo in the pic, it is even better. This one was taken to commemorate my first time in the squirrel woods with my Encore with a 17 HMR barrel.

I've always been partial to action shots...

How about displaying with the gun's history.

Yeah that's my Dad's stuff.
The soldier on the left, in the picture at bottom right is my Dad.
26th Infantry Regiment. His boots touched ground in North Africa, fought at Kasserine Pass. Landed in Sicily, Omaha beach, Battle of the Bulge, all the way through Germany into Czechoslovakia. The photo was taken in Czechoslovakia.

No Trump intended, just posting a photo dear to me.

Mark, thank you for sharing your Dad with us! Losing my Dad last year, who was Korean War medic, it is good to see our heroes honored!
Again, thank you for sharing!

I like how this turned out

I'll admit, I've just never been a fan of pictures with a rifle balanced on a post - I know a lot of guys take pictures that way, but in my opinion, it's an incredibly unnatural position, just looks out of place, and it almost ensures you'll have no depth or balance in the photo. Just kind awkward, like Ricky Bobby doing a TV interview... On the other hand, I love pictures of the rifle, well presented, setting against/along or leaned against logs or other natural supports - as long as they're not the inevitable underbelly perspective shot - so it takes a little doing to get this one right, usually something to prop up the rifle, and the photographer getting down low.

I have to say Ive big game hunted all over the world but nothing brings me more joy in the woods than chasing squirrels with a .22 rifle.

I have to agree with that statement based on the photos I've seen on this and other forums over the years.

These four photos show my Talkeetna's journey from a very good factory rifle to an even better custom rifle and a mule deer shot at 460 yards. I do prefer a wood pile to rocks though and like the first photo more than the other two.

Talkeetna as it came from Kimber

Barrel cut down from 24" to 22" and recessed target crown added, front and rear sights removed, barrel band removed, bolt lugs lapped, rear scope ring coned, front sling swivel stud added

Barreled action, stock, scope and rings dipped with KUIU Verde pattern

Mule deer shot at 460 yards using 250gr Barnes TTSX handload ... no tracking required
