20 inch A2 AR, open sights, Magpul furniture.

Just plain fun to shoot, eats anything, 1-1.5 MOA with open sights out to the 300 yards I have shot it to.

Just my 02,
LeonCarr

I think my favorite changes regularly but I do always have something in 45 Colt around. I still can’t decide if I like the 92 action or the 1894 better. The 16” 92 is about as handy as it gets. The 20” 1894 will launch a 300g bullet at 1600. What’s not to love.

I currently have two, though I haven't finished load development on one;

Model 70 Win with a Pac-Nor barrel in 6.5x55. Taken deer out to 350 with it so far. Light/nearly no recoil and scary accurate.

The one I haven't finished working up the load is the Newton 1st model 256 Newton.

Thinking back on my best hunts over the last five or so years and this one gave me the most memories. Remington 700 5R Milspec in .308 with a Leupold VX6. I have killed a truckload of bucks, hogs and coyotes with this set up. This hunt is typical of what this rifle will do. Shot these three over 1-1/2 hours from the same spot from. If memory serves me, 170, 220 and close to 400 yards. [Linked Image]

Probably my custom APR 270 winchester. Shoots really well with factory ammo and nothing has escaped my crosshairs. Has taken whitetail, axis, bobcat and hogs. 2nd place would be my 270 wsm Browning X bolt stainless fluted carbon fiber. Shoots like a death ray and makes me smile every time I squeeze the trigger.

I wish I could say it was one of the ones I've dumped a ton of money into but in all honesty, the Ruger 10/22 I bought for my son to learn on is a ton of fun to shoot and more fun to watch him shoot.

I enjoy shooting all my guns, but I guess I have the most fun with any of my .22's. Henry, Remington 550 (cycles long, short, and even the cci quiets!),marlin 25, ruger mark 1...I could sit down with a brick of .22 and just shoot all day long.

I’m not a Savage fan at all but the only one I own is probably my favorite to shoot

Savage A17

It’s a semi auto that’s cheap to shoot, I’ve killed numerous hogs and raccoons with it

I can get it to shoot about 1.25 groups at 100 but I’m sure a better shooter could do better

It’s just a fun little gun

My Ruger GP-100 is like an old friend that always makes me smile.

It changes... yesterday shot a 338 Lapua/6.5 Creedmoor/6mm Creedmoor and the 6mm was shooting awesome so it was my favorite.

My Savage Axis Series II is without question my greatest overall value gun. For a rifle that cost me less than $400, it shoots great and has as crisp a trigger and workmanship as just about any gun in my safe.

Overall best value gun I have is a Remington 788 in 7mm-08 that I bought new for $209 including tax. With handloads tailored for it half inch groups are common. Do not do that every time but almost never have a group over 5/8 at 100 yards using its 2-7X32. Not bad for a wood stocked gun that was bought at Walmart in 1982, still basically stock other than the barrel is free floated now

Great shooters, I'd like to get one in .308.

A close tie between my Winchester Model 190 and my Winchester Model 1890 (which is 110 years old).

I would probably have to go with any of my ARs. Cheap and fun is a winning combination for me.
