A few of my rifles are special weapons in that they are hand-me-downs. For example I have 25-20 Model 94 Marlin from around 1900 or so that my grandmother used, after she was in a "retirement apartment", to chase another lady around saying "I'm going to shoot that old woman!".
I'm currently building a Lyman Great Plains Rifle in .54 caliber browning the barrel and metal parts instead of blueing.
But I guess my most special special weapon is a very early (1938 I think) Winchester Model 70 in 30-Gov't 06. It was used by my wife's grandfather for a great deal of hunting long ago and we've got old pictures of him with it. It shows wear but it is still a great shooter and has a great smooth bolt action cycle.
