Sometimes the classic is not even beautiful. Take the old '95 Winchester. When the action is open and the innards are hanging out, it looks for all the world like an aging hooker whose had a bit too much to drink and doesn't realize her garters are showing.
Even with the action shut, it looks ill-balanced and awkward as hell. Loading it requires an odd regime that requires you stand the cartridges straight up on end. And yet for the close and ugly, it puts the bullets where they need to be, fast.
