Some of the pictures on this forum have me interested in Stalking Rifles. So if you have one and want to post some pictures of it, as well as any info on it you want to, I would enjoy reading and seeing whatever you have.

 Altho' this Fraser Rook 'n Rabbit rifle might not be a dye-in-the-wool stalker, it's 25-20 would be nice for the smallish woodland Roebuck.

Not familiar with woodland Roebuck, but the .25-20 is barely adequate for woodchuck so that must be a mighty small deer!

I wanted a good classic rifle but as a collage student my gun budget is very limited. But after a couple of months of looking, I found this Mannlicher-Schoenauer model 1905 in 9x56 MS in acceptable condition. I got it for $600. It's hard but not impossible to get ammo for it, but since I reload, I will make the ammo myself (250 grains .358 Norma Oryx or Hornady Round Nose bullets and reformed 9,3x57 Norma brass). I will shoot Swedish moose and wild boar with it.   I really love this rifle, it's 100 years old, weighs just over 6 lbs and has got the balance of a good shot gun. For a factory made rifle, the level of craftmanship is outstanding.

Perhaps Jerry, if your a Weatherby man you'd think that!
...and maybe the man who shot deer with the owd Fraser just didn't know any better.
The idea is to stalk...and not snipe away.
Who'd want to shoot a woodchuck - not much there for the stew-pot.

I rember reading an article when I was kid about a monster whitetail buck taken back in the 30's with a .25-20. I think the old chap was pretty close and had to put several in the buck. It wouldn't be my first choice for deer, but if you get close enough.....

Could you give us your definition for "stalking rifle?" I have a lot fo pics (many not mine) and was wondering what exactly you were looking for-smaller caliber single shot, small caliber double, magazine rifle, or...?
