M1 Garand does it for me. Same for most fun.
If you find yourself feeling useless, remember it took 20 years, trillions of dollars, and four presidents to replace the Taliban with the Taliban.
Sometimes the Universe puts you in the same situation again to see if you’re still a dumbass.

7mm-08AI, The ping of steel has yet to get old. I don't have to be too concerned with wind. It's just fun. I plan to acquire a 223 bolt before I begin running the AC this year. That may change my tune.

Whatever the current new build is…this month it’s a 22 Gaymoor. The anticipation and giddiness I get leading up to load development is dumb but I’m starting to think it’s an addiction. It’s very satisfying to create something then watch it shoot extremely well…it’s a fair amount of time and work for me still so that reward is huge. Dumb I know…but you asked and my answer is mine constantly changes.

At the range - Savage .17HMR...it's just fun to shoot. At the lease - 3-400 rounds plinking with my Ruger AR.

Gotta be the 10/22. KYL is fun with it but it gets old after the first couple of runs, think I’ll try the fly thing.

Watching my kids shoot anything brings me a lot of joy.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

100+ year old pop guns are fun as hell to shoot.

It’s a hard question, but since you specifically said “at the range”, I guess I’ll go with this.

Especially if it’s something no one has any experience with. 22 Creedmoor back in 2012 was was one and more recently getting early start on7PRC was fun.

I’d probably have to go with my first rifle, a Remington first gen sendero in 270 win. Given its weight it’s always been very pleasant to shoot off the bench and has always shot nearly everything I fed it well.

These days its my defiance, 7 twist 223 in a krg whiskey 3 chassis wearing a nx8 4-32 I shoot 80.5 fullbore bergers around 3k and can shoot dang near anything I can see AI or standard 223? 80.5 in a standard going 3k sounds like the ragged edge of sanity. maybe over the edge. Of course, your rifle, your loads, your data, I'm just assuming.

Of course, your rifle, your loads, your data, I'm just assuming. I have a 28” Bartlien and yes its hot leaves a tiny shiny spot on the case head but bolt lift is easy and i am not seeing any leaky primers using lapua brass and a cci 450 it is a standard 223 chamber with a bit extra freebore so I can sit the bullet out long. If a 30” finished length was available I would had bought it instead, it’s really funny how when you get into the 27-30” barrels the speed is awesome.
