Your most favorite gun to shoot!

Mine is a Marlin 1895 in 45-70 shooting factory 405's. I've got a 2 x 7 scope on it and I just love plinking at targets at 100yds. I get a kick out of watching the bullet as it travels to the target in a great big arching trajectory and hearing a resounding thump as it hits. I've used it on deer and have never had one take more than 2 or 3 steps before falling over. Everyone of 'em had a a neat 1/2" entry and a slightly larger exit.

At one time I had visions of buying a Ruger #1, a Browning Highwall, or a Shiloh in 45-70!

22/45 suppressed. It's the only one that makes me smile every time. Even if I miss.

this!

S&W 460XVR shooting Buffalo Bore 325gr. Puts a smile on my face with the first shot, makes my teeth hurt with the second shot.

Most favorite thing to do is sneak it out of the case of the pistol range, indoor is better, and rip off a shot and watch everybody jump from the percussion.

Just wish it wasn't $3-$5 a shot

K98 Mauser

Browning BLR 308 Win, Leupold VX-2 3-9x40

Colt 1911

My savage fcp10 McMillian with an XTR II.

6.8 SBR, 12.5" ARP barrel, SLR adjustable gas block, Thunderbeast Ultra 5CB, and a Nightforce 1-4x24. Light, handy, and kicks like a BB gun with the adjustable gas block.

Ill be pretty lame, but I love shooting my Ruger American 300 blk gun.

I'm not gonna lie, I love to shoot my FN M249. It is a real kick in the pants.

Springfield Armory M1A loaded model

Whatever gun I purchased last, that being a Ruger Mark IV Target 22LR pistol. It makes even a wannabe like me look like a good shooter. It's without question, the smoothest and most accurate handgun that I own and a pure joy to shoot. It's worth every penny I paid for it.

If only I was able to shoot every other handgun I own equally as good.

FN 5.7 pistol and my AR 5.7 upper on spikes lower are my two favorites right now.

Now that's nice !!!!!

That's a pistol I'm considering for my next gun purchase. Do you have to feed it with expensive ammo to get good accuracy?

No, if you're an average shooter like myself.

Perhaps a true target shooter who is capable of shooting tighter groups at greater distances will offer their feedback.

Don't pick one up and hold it if you're not sure you want to spend the money to buy one. The fit, finish, and feel is exceptional.

Unlike the earlier Mark III, the Mark IV can be broken down for cleaning in 15 seconds or less.

Kel tec sub 2000 9mm is a blast with the 30rd glock mags.

Marlin 1894-S in .41 magnum.

Two of my grandfathers shotguns
A Remington model 1100 and Winchester model 11
My favorite pistol is my Springfield xdm
My favorite rifle would have to be my 5.56 we
Favorite shotgun I've bought is my Berreta a400 it's the gun I shoot the most

That does sound fun. They didn't make a lot of those.

JG's 7mm08 suppressed rig is probably the finest rifle I have ever sent a round from.

My old K-22 Smith and Wesson.

My Ruger GP-100. It just fits.......

I am lucky to own some nice firearms, latest pistol is a GP100 but I got a cheapo ugly Hi Point carbine chambered in .45 acp that is a blast (pardon the pun).

Man, that's a tough question!

-Pistol:It's a tie between my Ruger SR22 (cheap to shoot and so much fun!) and my Ruger SR1911 in 45 ACP (just hard to beat a good 1911).

-Rifle: Savage .22-250. Shoots flat as laser, kills stuff dead

My very favorite gun is a Marlin Model 60 that my dad gave me over 40 years ago. That little rifle just keeps on ticking.

Yes, much of the joy in shooting a firearm often comes in knowing its family history.

I enjoy all my guns but mainly my pistols then my Franchi Affinty 12-ga . Got a 30-30 and a .303 but they both can leave you a bruised and sore shoulder . But my most favorite I don't have anymore was a Winchester model 24 , 12-ga I had back in the late 60s' . It was a great gun !!

IMO, there is more fun shooting firearms with open sights. There just isn't as much of a challenge shooting with a scope.

Since they didn't let me keep my M60 I guess it's the M1 Garand or the Scorpion Carbine and pistol.

I can understand the 1st sentence, but the second I don't agree with at all

OK......Everyone who wears glasses or has eye problems need not apply! You don't count......You can't have a favorite gun to shoot if it has a scope on it.

Next time I'll make it 3 posts: (1) for those who have eye problems & wear glasses (2) for those who don't & (3) for those who just wear reading glasses

Haven't shot one in years, but the M249 SAW was pretty sweet.

My corrective lenses for nearsightedness makes shooting open sights an even greater challenge, but it doesn't keep me from seeing how well I can shoot without a scope. Sure, the iron sights are a little blurry, but I can see them well enough to make kill shots with a rifle at 100 yards, and with a pistol at 25.

Pure fun to shoot gun... have two:

Marlin 1894CL .32-20

Close second: Marlin 1894C .357

Everyone I've let shoot the .32-20 always have a big smile, plus a tight grip when I go to get it back from them.

Probably my AR in 450 Bushmaster. It's a blast!
The converted Saiga 12 is a drum full of smiles as well.

My custom 338 Lapua Improved.

Of the ones I own, mine would be my S&W M&P Sport II AR. It's still as it came....open sights and no scope, although I've thought about getting a red dot. Haven't used it to hunt anything yet and not sure I will unless it's coyotes or pigs, but it is a blast to shoot. My boys love it too.

It's pretty cool to me to see the variation of preference that we all have.

It's kind of the idea of agreeing to disagree, but still agreeing the freedom to have a choice is nice.

I'm wondering if we could break the shooters into groups..... game hunters (large game, small game, fowl); pervasive species, varmint and pest eliminators; target shooters; tactical shooters; cowboy shooters; and plinkers?

I fit all of those groups. Are you going to literally break me into 6 pieces and stuff me into all groups??????

My Thompson (the top one) has the ability to convert a liberal to pro-2nd amendment

450 Bushmaster

Why do you have to divide us? Why can't we all be just shooters?

you know, I really don't shoot mine enough to have a favorite. If I had to pick, I'd say my Browning 725 Sporting 20ga. Shooting in the Elm Fork SC league

For just the pure pleasure of shooting, I'd have to go with my KelTec PMR 30. An absolute hoot to shoot! Everyone who's ever run a full magazine of 30 rounds of WMR ammo through it can't help but ask to run a couple more mags through it! Practically no recoil, great trigger, and enough muzzle blast to almost convince yourself that you've just shot a center fire pistol. Definitely addictive.

THATS WILD LOOKING GLUCK

Glock

Just an observation!

Spent over 10 years watching people fight over what hunting & shooting configuration is best. I finally post one post in "Rifles, Shotguns, and Handguns" in an effort to get people just talking "firearms", sharing info & pictures, and the next thing you know we're trying to divide everything up again. Many of those categories are already addressed in existing sub-forums.

I'm already lining up a "New & Improved 2017 - Which is best .308 or 30.06" thread...

Some of my favorites are:

Suppressed 10/22 with subs
Custom 6.5 Creedmoor shooting LR
CZ-527 in 223 for general rifle practice

Remington 3200 on the skeet field, Winchester Model 12 in the bird patch. P_102

My favorite guns to shoot are mostly ones I inherited from my father as they bring back good memories of his teaching me about shooting and marksmanship.
Colt Gold Cup 1911 with trigger and accurizing work done by a gunsmith
Dan Wesson 6" 15-2VH .357 Mag
High Standard Supermatic Citation 106 .22LR

I also love to shoot the LR-308 I built with a Lilja 24" bull barrel. It shoots better than I do.
