What is your favorite rifle?

[Tokarev762]

My favorite rifle would be my trusty old Mosin-Nagant 91/30. It's a beast, made all the way back in 1939, and still capable of ringing steel at 500 yards. However I'm building an AR with a Palmetto lower with Magpul furniture and a Model 1 sales A3 Dissipator upper in 5.45x39 that's sure to take its place.

That's about asking like which is my favorite child... 

I love shooting my dad's old Marlin 1894 .44 Mag.  There's just something about running a lever gun that just feels right.  Not to mention the ever-so-satisfying boom it sets off on the line - very distinguishable amongst anything else on the line most times.  Never shot an AQT with it, but have thoroughly enjoyed the big size holes it makes on a red coat!

I also still have quite a bit of fondness for my Marlin LTR.  It's what I used when getting my Rifleman patch and has shot the score for me (and others!) many times since.

Mine would have to be the M1 Carbine. I have had a "theoretical" love affair with the rifle and it's history for half my life. I was lucky enough to procure mine and order it mere months before the firearm situation went bonkers. It is one of the better quality reproductions. I ran it here and there and also put it on the line a bit both at a 25 m and KD events. By aiming at the top of target paper with the sights set at 350, I was able to place 13 out of 20 at 400 yards with a 10 mph cross wind into the zone. It ended up replacing my AK in the safe (I sold it for a song 6 months ago). If it was not for the occasional last round failure to feed, it could be my go-to rifle in an emergency. Right now after more than 4000 rounds fired that distinction belongs to my AR. And by the way, those soft point round nose loads take it up a level in terms of effectiveness over the FMJ. I will try to edit in a pic or two later.

The most fun firearm I've shot is the M60 belt-fed machine gun.   

I miss the Pig. Especially since I wasn't footing the bill to feed it.

My favorite rifle is the F-15.

I agree and have 2 M1a's and really like both of them.

I like my 1917 Winchester, found it at a gun show because the Winchester bluing caught my eye. It's all original including the barrel and will hit pop up targets out to 500 yards. My next favorite is one of my Winchester Garand's. I shoot the same load in both rifles and use the standard come ups. I can't wait to get the pop ups working again in Ramseur.

Probably my Weatherby Vanguard that I bought off a friend I was stationed with in Charleston. Shoots 7mm Rem Mag, which was a little too pricey (at $25-35/box but sports authority had them for $18/box some times) for my friend to keep shooting so he got rid of it, but now at 60-70 a box, it's a little too expensive for me to also shoot regularly, but it's still fun to take to the range every now and then and let it stretch out.

Man, I thought you had sold this one already...

I guess at the moment it would be my 1022. It is over 33yrs old and I finally modded it into a tack driver. Has the sweetest trigger I have ever had the pleasure to squeeze, Kidd single stage set at 2lbs. Shot my first Appleseed with it still in its stock form and now I'm going back in September and I will walk away with Rifleman.

Back in the day I used to be all about team AK, but around last winter when it looked like we'd have an incoming administration likely to grab guns I built an AR-15 thinking I may not have a chance to later; and it's completely changed my mind. They just run and shoot better; and the parts are so easy to change out. Currently my cheap and dirty M4 style build is my favorite rifle. I know it'd be more accurate with a floating hand guard and a different barrel, but after over 1k rounds downrange it's still a solid piece of hardware.

I love my Steyr Scout, but it's less versatile. The Ching sling makes for easy stabilizing when firing standing, and the long eye relief scope gives me great peripheral vision. The one I got came in 6.5 Creedmoor, so ammo was almost impossible to find for about a year, but now it's approaching reasonable again. This is a great caliber, though. It feels like it shoots flat up to about 200 yds.

I've got a long wishlist, too. I really want an M1 Garand; they're iconic and rugged, but also out of my price range for now. I also have my eye on those WWSD 2020 rifles InRangeTV and Brownell's are partnering on. It looks purpose built for 2-gun action challenges. If they deregulated full auto tomorrow I'd want a FN FAL. I'm also eyeing a reproduction flintlock Pennsylvania Long Rifle.
