Out with the new in with the old: let's see some Steel and Wood

Recently I have sold some polymer and got some new steel. Polymer guns are fine but they don't give me "that" feeling. I just picked these up yesterday:

Smith Wesson 627PC in 357mag and Colt 1991A1 in 9mm.

Here is the 627PC next to its little brother the 986PC

Let's see yours...

PTR 91. Replaced all polymer with original Hk 91 wood furniture. Original German surplus sling and replace charging handle with a bigger one. .308 caliber battle rifle.

Is that first rifle a CZ550FS? How's it shoot?

No, it's a 1987 Ruger M77 RSI (aka "M77 International") in .30-06. It's an early M77 with the tang safety; a pre-Mk. II/Hawkeye.

Very similar to the CZ 550 FS, with a compact barrel, iron sights, and Mannlicher stock. The Ruger lacks the CZ's sweet set trigger, but is a little shorter and a little lighter than the CZ. The Ruger M77 RSI only has a 18.5" barrel, whereas the CZ 550 FS has a 20" barrel.

Pardon the snapshot photography.

I don't own anything BUT steel and wood. Well, other than the occasional set of rubber grips.

I love the grips on that Match Champion.

Love this thread, and wish I was home to post up a couple of my oldies.

Together like that, your Ruger looks even classier than the CZ!

Pic is taken in HDR so the highlights do pop a little more, but yes all origional with no refinishing. I don't have a lot of milsurps, but I have been a bit particular in getting ones in great condition
