I have 5 out of this list.

I also have five actually six if you count may air weight Chiefs Special. I also have owned four more that I've traded off over the years.

I have 12 models on the list and a total of 30 top 50 guns. List had too many shotguns.
Win 94 x 3 (1917, 1921, 1986)
Rem 700 x 5 (223, 7mm08, 300Blk, 308, 6.5 CM)
Rem 1100 x 3 (12, 20 & 28)
Ruger SSS x 2 (only one Convertible)
Ruger 10/22 x 2
T/C Contender x 2 (G1 & G2)
1911 x 1
AR15 x 8
Win 12 x 1
Marlin 336 x 2 (30/30 & 308MX)
Marlin 60 x 1

I have no guns.


Pretty good gallery, though.

Five from the list.

Have 10, had 16

I uh uh, have two of everyone, yeah, that's the ticket.

6

Too many scatters IMO.

Take out the shotguns and I can understand my own taste.

12 but disagree about the inclusion of the model 60 and the exclusion of the Colt Python.

Handguns: Have 3 have shot another 5

Rifles: Have 3 have shot another 4

Shotguns: Have 2 have shot another 4

I have 5 on the list!

Ruger 10/22 one of the best guns ever?

Most popular, sure; but best? I'm not sure there is a semi-auto 22 that belongs on this list.

Saw one on there I forgot I have! Shows how often it's shot...S&W 42

I like lists like that. Good fodder for debate.

I don't know jack about shotguns.

F&S did a "50 best rifles" list a few years back that I enjoyed too.

Did I miss Colt Python or is the list seriously bogus ?


MO

I think the Python suffered in pricing and marketing. The only one I shoot a good amount was a fine gun And shoot very well and accurately. However it was just so much more expensive than the S&W or Riger counterparts. So at the end the day I stuck with my simple S&W. I assume many others making the same decision made the same choice. I think that's probably part of the reason why it never got too much traction.

I got 7 of these.

Not a single Sako on a top 50 list?

I have 23 of the 50 models listed. There are only a couple on the list I'd like but don't have have.

And I agree, the Python should have made the list. Judging by some of the shotguns price-point wasn't a factor.

Edited again to add: I also think the Ruger Standard or Mk-I could have replaced any one of several on the list.

I think they missed some, I'd have the Remington 552 instead of the Marlin 60, the Perazzi Mirage/MX 8 instead of the MX10, the Winchester 52C Sporter.

F & S or Outdoor Life had an article about .22lr semi-autos. It read that if all other manufacuters total sales of rifles combined would not equal the number of Ruger 10/22's sold. So that tells me it belongs on the list. It's one of the firearms every law abiding, over 18 American should own.

I think in many ways the author get's confused between best and most important. In some cases, he chooses because of important innovations, in others it's because they're the best. He's not even consistent.

I have or have owned 25 from that list but there are several more that I would have added and dropped.

No way a $2000 revolver belongs. The 10/22 and Marlin 60 belong. The Ruger Mark I, II, and III should be one there. Take off 10 of the shotguns. Maybe I missed the 870. Mosins are a fad...a fad I made a little off of. Not a great list, not bad.

I own' or have owned 9 on the list.

Nine for me too. Kinda surprised Bill Ruger's tang M77 wasn't mentioned.

Why not 2K revolver? If price is problem then explains why my lovable Winchester Mod. 21's didn't make the list. Not hard to hit 2K plus on firearms anymore!

If the topic is "50 Best Guns Ever Made" it does, and Pythons weren't always $2,000.00 revolvers, that's just what the market turned them into.

Yep, I paid $800 for my Python.

that list is terribly constructed, it was broken down by type; pistols, rifles, and shotguns.... in no world does a handgun out rank a rifle.....

besides the best gun ever made is the Accuracy International Arctic Warfare

16

'When a man with a Colt meets a man with a Winchester the man with the Colt is dead'


I love my Woodsman. It's simple, graceful, elegant even and it's a lot of fun to shoot. And I think the AK-47 is the only rifle that might even come close to the 1911 as far as total numbers produced.

Depends on the Colt. If you have an M16 or M2 Browning then the Winchester man is the plant food. Speaking of, if this is a list of the 50 best guns ever made - WTH is the M2 Browning "Ma Deuce" that has served this country so well since before WW2.

Bogus list. No Garand? Really?! No Mosin Nagant?

Yep, me too. Back when I had guns I may have had a few of them.

The list is flawed without mention of the M1 Garand.

Dang I cant believe nobody else mentioned that.

I had 13... Where is the Thompson sub machine gun on this list? No Winchester model 21?
