2. FN Mauser (.270)
3. Browning Belgian A5
4. CZ 452 (.22 LR)

6. Crossman 760 (.177 air rifle)

The Model 70's are beautiful hunting rifles. They well made and accurate.
So are the rest of your weapons. Good addition...

Congratulations on your new acquisition hope you enjoy shooting it for many years to come! :)

Your choice of "username" here leaves much to be desired though... :roll:

Hello everyone I am from New Jersey, USA. Thanks for the comments.

Hello Abhijeet
My username would not have much to be desired for if the tiger population was strong today and game management hunts with a nominal trophy fee were not a thing of the past in India. haha. I wish safari outfitters of the past like M/s Allwyn Cooper [P] Ltd never ceased to operate in India and I had an opportunity to become a Tiger hunter. But again we can only dream of that opportunity now after the Indian Governments ban on hunting. But lets keep our fingers crossed and support organizations like SCI (safari club International) so that our hunting heritage is preserved and opportunities exist to hunt other big cats and big game animals around the globe.

Hi and welcome.
A very nice collection indeed!
I have a small question. Is the scope on the CZ 452 (.22 LR) too low to have the foresignt coming in the way?

Hi Mandeep, So where do you go for hunting/shooting?? TenX, yes the scope is low and sights come in the way but do not disrupt the view.
