This one is not mine, and I stupidly sold mine years ago, but this is my favorite:

To me, its either the original 1886, The colt 4 5/8" .357, or performance center 29 3" .44mag. I will have to take some pics to do them justice.

If just one gun, I would have to go with my Winchester 71 as best looking.

Nice looking guns from everyone. Well except for those Python's.

Best looking gun I had was a nice Smith and Wesson .357 Magnum pre-model 27 with 5 inch barrel.

Close second Smith and Wesson 29 with 4 inch and smooth ivories.

Just kidding about the python's. Kind of.

This is the one I think is prettiest. The main reason for that is the fact that I made it myself from scratch out in the garage.
Actually I made 4 of them so far. They are indeed competitive in the bench game. Though the lever is a little funny the way it operates!!! :mrgreen:

marlinman93, that is a real beauty. I had a Marlin 93 TD in 30-30 but I could not keep it tight. It was no deluxe though. I think Marlin made great looking lever actions. All I have now is a plain "94". I hope to trade for a nice 1893 soon.

Hey Bogus bill, this is kinda of topic, but where did you get that belt and holster, I really like it and think it's awesome. I would like to know where you got it, I am looking for one like that for my Ruger GP100 in .357. Thanks Richard.
