Thread: Modern Heirloom rifles

To me a heirloom quality firearm will be a one off that has been made to a specific clients order. At the minimum "hand finished" with all mechanicals perfectly tuned and operating flawlessly. The level of finish will be immaculate and detailed to the inner workings as well as the exterior.

About the minimum I'd say in NZ would maybe a special order Schultz and Larsen.

For me the mass produced Sako's and other high end offerings like the Vooduu 22s etc can be custom rifles but are more akin to a playboy centerfold than a Reubens original ( quote pinched from Philip C Bolger)
