Rifles-Sako (they offer a good selection of superb left handed bolt guns)
Handguns-Colt (even though I prefer S&W’s revolvers)
Shotguns-Browning (I love the old Auto-Five. Browning over unders are what I shoot best)
Smokey Bear---Lone Star State.

Setting aside my individual favorite guns, my overall pick in terms of a manufacturer would be Ruger,
A Democracy is when two wolves and a lamb vote on the dinner menu. That is why this country was specifically not designed as a Democracy. We are a Constitutional Republic.

Ruger is my favorite firearms manufacturer. They make good stuff and they have a lot of cool products, classics like Blackhawk, 10/22, Mini 14, No 1, 77, Mark series. They also have modern products like Americans, ARs, PC carbines, RPR.
Really surprised that haven’t jumped back in the shotguns especially a solid semi automatic offering.
That said, I like Tikka and Ruger for rifles, Glock for handguns and have no preference for shotguns.

I still love Ruger but their warranty process is BS. 40 bucks from me to send them something that is their fault. It made me a customer for Kidd and Volquartsen. Yeah, and you get to talk to Mable who really doesn't have time to practice her customer service skills.

Bergara rifles.
I haven't found anything more accurate from the factory. Their stock trigger could pass for an aftermarket upgrade.

I know Remington isn’t what it used to be but the ones we have are all old. I’d have to go Remington on rifle, ruger for pistols, and my old 870 is the only shotgun I’ve ever owned so Remington for it too.

Ruger M77
Sig P226/229
Ruger GP100
Beretta 1301 I don't bird hunt, so this is just fine.
Not sure on lever guns right now. I have a Rossi .357 Trapper that has been great. My eldest has a Henry .357 that he likes. I haven't handled the Ruger/Marlins.

Great topic and good read so far.
Sig for rifles only because they seem like the only manufacturer that produced very high quality bolt and semi rifles.
Sig or H&K for pistols
Beretta for sure on shotguns
I'm a little disappointed in myself for not having an American manufacturer...or should I be disappointed in America?!?!?
I'm a dude who likes long barrels!

I’ve never really thought of myself as a brand loyal kind of guy but for some reason I keep going back to Savage rifles. Just when I’ve sold them all off I look around and find a deal on an action and then there’s 5 in the safe.
Shotguns I like Remington semi autos and for pistols you can’t beat a nice Ruger P series 9mm. They’re built like tanks and I love a good hammer fired pistol.

My favorite brand of rifle is Weatherby. I’m left handed and they always kept a few left hand bolt guns in their Mark V like.
Pistols, I’m a Glock guy. If I had to have one pistol it would be a Glock 19.
Shotguns….thats like asking a person to name their favorite woman. Too many good things about so many, you can’t honestly pick a favorite.
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.
