I just picked up a new (to me) rifle off of Gunbroker and wanted to show it off.
It is a Browning Low Wall 1881 with octagon barrel in .243 win. I mounted a Zeiss Terra 4-12x42mm on it. Super sweet, light, compact little rifle. I love it!

The "prettiest" FUDD rifle I ever owned was a .243, a SAKO Forester Deluxe with QD irons/scope mounts... <a href="http://s2.photobucket.com/user/HardShell/media/RWB%20-%20Rifles/DSC00541.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y12/HardShell/RWB%20-%20Rifles/DSC00541.jpg</a> <a href="http://s2.photobucket.com/user/HardShell/media/RWB%20-%20Rifles/DSC00543.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y12/HardShell/RWB%20-%20Rifles/DSC00543.jpg</a> <a href="http://s2.photobucket.com/user/HardShell/media/RWB%20-%20Rifles/DSC00544.jpg.html" target="_blank">http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y12/HardShell/RWB%20-%20Rifles/DSC00544.jpg</a> If it had been in .308, and if a guy hadn't offered me twice what I had in it and then some, I'd still have it today. 
Sako makes a great rifle... |

Great thread. I like the "Fudd" guns. And I personally don't really like that term because sometimes people say it with such disdain.
A good .243 is hard to beat for a hunting gun. My cousin has taken a lot of deer with his .243. Then he tried to move up to a .300 RSUM because he thought it would help him be able to take longer shots. But he couldn't get good accuracy with it. I don't know if it was the gun or the extra recoil or what...... But I think he went back to his tried and true .243. Which is a nice, older winchester. |

This has been my preferred wide open spaces game getter for nearly 20 years now. A Ruger M77 Mk II VT in .308 with a composite stock that is much lighter than the original laminate stock:
This has been my preferred short range rifle for the last few years - an 1885 High Wall in .30-30. Very accurate, it won't beat you to death and a .30-30 single shot with pointed bullets and a 30" barrel is good to about 300 yards on deer sized game: 
I'm also partial to my Big Bore 94 in .375 Win and it's my preferred hills and woods carbine: 
Finally, this is my Remington 788 in .243 - a great starter rifle for young hunters:

Only picture I could find in photobucket. My Model 94 Winchester. I also have a Remington 788 in .308 and a Remington 700 in 7-08. Using the 700 this year, but its a little heavier and a little longer than I like. |

Nice guns,but there is no such thing as a Fudd gun. Fudd is a state of mind ,and guns have no minds.

My long range Fudd. Weatherby Mark V in .300 Weatherby Magnum. Weaver V-12 scope. West German J.P Sauer and Sohn made Mark V action for Weatherby, circa 1967 or so.

I've always wanted a high wall or a low wall but they are way out of my budget |

Maybe a little more Fudd-ish. One of my deep woods deer guns: Remington 742 in .308 with original period-correct 2-7x Redfield scope. When deer are running and a quick second shot may be needed.
