Bone stock 10/22 with a cheap scope lets me ring steel at 300 for a few bucks/hour a couple of times every week. My GP100 is right behind it.
Funny, but I am the most accurate with those two. Can't imagine why.

I get zero joy in going to or shooting at any range. Only reason I go is to sight in or confirm gun is zeroed. Fire as few shots as possible and leave before anyone can ask me about my setup. One of my cheapest rifles is prob my favorite to shoot at live targets. It’s a Ruger American Predator in 308. Shooting suppressed recoil is light and it shoots lights out.

We would have to define the 'range' first.

I have paper targets, steel targets, I can shoot pistols from arms length and rifles out 300 yds. on my personal range.

Out to a mile on a private range.

IF I could only have one firearm to play with it would have to be one my O/U shotguns on a Skeet or Sporting Clays range. I never get tired of that.

I guess second would be any of my semi-auto pistols on steel or paper....particularly in self defense scenarios.

What a great thread and a tough choice. I love to shoot handguns with my cast bullets. I get a big kick out of stretching out my rifles. Shotguns are the only thing I shoot on public ranges though. Favorite would have to be 410 OU on a skeet field.

Favorite is my 30-06 but still the fun gun is a Remington 22-250. Generally, shoot at the lease to zero in and rarely go to the range.

I want a dueling tree. Fun time with the Glocks was had with a friend that had one.

Favorite by far has to be a nice O/U at the clay range.

Wanting to spend some more time with the 10/22 I pieced together last year. To nice of a gun to have 200 rounds down the tube.

.410, 1100. It's like shooting a BB gun. Really fun to shoot. I hate there is no ammo around.

My Bergara Ridge chambered in 7-08. It's extremely accurate with my hand loads and doesn't kick.

I almost forgot about one of my most favorite for the range. Another from my Swedish military rifle collection. It is an 1867-89 Husqvarna Rolling Block made in 1869. A friend hand picked it in Sweden and imported it himself. Originally would have been in 12.17x42R Rim Fire. Then converted to 12.7x44R centerfire starting in 1889 by replacing the breechblock and hammer. I first tried fire forming 348 Winchester brass and that did not work out. then I went with 50 Alaskan Brass and it did not work out either. It was as if my rifle had an oversize rim and chamber. After doing a cast of the chamber it turned out 50-70 brass fit perfectly without cutting down the brass andit also provided the larger rim diameter I needed to extract right. I believe the rifle had been converted to 50-70 at some point which would not have taken much to do considering the Swedes developed the original round from our 50-70 to begin with. I only shoot it with black powder loads and cast bullets. That big puff of smoke with every shot is so cool. Not to mention shooting a 150+ year old rifle. I made up 50 big game hunting rounds for it long ago and sighted it in for them, but have yet to take it hunting.

Haven't done it in years but always fun to go to a public range when they are busy and breakout the true BP loads. Some just do not seem to appreciate that burning Sulphur smell while others think it is cool.

I've got a T/C r22 (10/22 clone) that is a S&W Performance center rifle. I put it in a Titan 10/22 stock and Have a Crimson Trace 5 series mil scope on it. On my private range, out to 200 yards it's a hoot to shoot steel at distance. Also have a KYL target with the smallest spinner at .5", and a small dueling tree. It's even more fun to sit on the Pond dam and snipe turtles with it...although, I'm starting to run low on turtle targets.
