M1A

I absolutely enjoyed that gun. It was fun on the range and it was fun to hunt with. Like a dummy I sold it. One day I will get another

It was a pain to clean and takedown but it had a smooth action and just gave you a feeling of firepower and confidence.

what was or is your favorite gun?

This is a tough one, I lean toward my garand though.

Centerfire Bolt action Grendel and Little Sharps Rifle Company 38-55 real hard to choose between the two
Rimfire Easy choice Winchester 62A

My CZ 452 22lr.

Encore pistol in 300 win Mag.

Ruger 22 pistol

My Borden drop port sitting in a McSwirly Kestros stock chambered in 22 dasher and throated for 90's...it's a FUN gun to shoot.

S&W 460 XVR 315 grains at 2200fps. Puts a damn snails on my face

My most fun would be my Surgeon 6.5x47 bolt gun. The action is so smooth, and the rifle is stupid accurate.

My favorite blasting rifle is my AR-15 in 300 Blk Out 10.5" pistol. That one is freakin' sweet.

My Winchester '94 in 22LR that we shoot in the THF Hunters Challenge match is up there also.

Q Fix 6.5 CM & Larue Tactical 6.5 Grendel...both suppressed.

LR-10

I love them all but my TRP is my favorite. Then all my aks. Like to see how far out I can take them. Haven’t shot my SOCOM yet but have a feeling it will top the list once I do.

It's a tie between a henry 22mag and sig tacops

Call me crazy, it's a tie between a pellet gun (RWS 34) and my Baikal single shot 12 guage.

Pellet guns are just a ton of fun. My little Baikal single shot shoots perfectly where I point it.

The Baikal shot terribly low when I bought it, so I whacked the barrel on a stump to bend it until it hit where I pointed it. It's the only gun I care little enough about to pull that stunt and now it's the best shooting shotgun I have (for me).

I’m a fan of the open sighted 30-30. I have a pre 64 Winchester and a ‘67 marlin. I like the Winchester better to carry but I like the action on the Marlin. If I had to pick I’d choose the Win. My favorite shotgun to carry is my Superposed 20ga. Mod/imp 26” Barrels. I shoot my A5 better and dove hunt with it. It’s probably my favorite shotgun to shoot but is too damn heavy to carry.

All depends on mood and weather for me...

Could be one of the bolt guns in 6.5 creed, 7.62x39, 30/30, etc.
Could be one of the pistols or revolver in 9mm, 10mm, .357 or .22lr
Could be the G3K SBR .308
Could be the AR .223
Could be the CZ Scorpion 9mm
Could be one of the Shotguns

My CZ is fun to shoot, my G3 always puts a smile on my face, and everything I own I enjoy shooting or I wouldn’t own them.

The greater challenge that comes with shooting open sights does create a greater reward in achieving tight groups. Also, shooting with just a forearm rest can increase the challenge and reward even more. IMO, shooting a rifle with open sights equates to swinging a leaded bat and usually pays great dividends when it comes time to shoot with the aid of optics.

For me, on deck practice includes shooting my open-sighted Henry 30-30 at 100 targets.

Any number of my 10/22's followed by my Tikka 6.5 Creed.

Pre-64 Winchester .30-30.

I have a Browning stainless A-Bolt II in 7 Rem Mag that I use to love. Then all the sudden it started flinging bullets everywhere. I gave up on it and put it away for a few years and then drug it out again and gave it a good cleaning, took the mounts, rings and scope off and put it all back together.

2 years ago I took a couple of hogs with it out to about 100 yards and started to like the gun again. Last year I shot a few rounds through it at the range and it was back to being a 1 hole gun again so I decided to air a few shots out with it on some pigs. I shot several out to about 350ish yards and one waaaaay beyond that and if I remember correctly all dropped in their tracks. It seemed like I could do no wrong with that gun last year.

So despite the fact I despise Browning now days, that gun is my current favorite at the moment.

Here is the waaaaay out there shot. There are two feeders. The black dot you see under the top feeder is the pig that I dropped.

Not having a belt fed weapon, I suppose my new Tikka T1X is the present favorite.

Have a couple I really like. 1903A3 is my favorite. The other is a 50 yr. old Sako that has been rebarrelled
to a 338-06 Ai. Sako seems to know how to make stocks. This gun doesn't kick much and less than MOA
with a number of different loads.

In the Army....M2 .50 cal machine gun and M79 grenade launcher....

Now...Ruger .22 or Colt 1911

Lately it has been this one. Cheap to shoot. Load development has been a blast too. Tried all kinds of different loads and ammo combinations.

Custom built .223 Ackley Improved. Myself and the man the did the machining both giggled the first shot we made with it. Zero recoil, and shoots extremely precise. And it'll run to the end of my range, only burning 26.0 gr of powder. It is a laser and extremely fun! It is my "trainer". Just built to shoot a whole bunch, and what I really focus on barricade shooting with. If there's a miss, it was the shooters fault, not the rifle or ammo. It weighs, and is exactly the same length and contour of my competition rifle a 6.5 Creedmoor. It was put away through the winter as I had the 7 Rem Mag with me. The little .223 A.I. is about to come back out, until November.
