What Are Your Favorites?
« on: September 19, 2006, 05:49:00 AM »
       
Your favorite 'popular gun(s).'

I'd like to find out what popular guns you like.
 
Pick as many guns you like - rifles, pistols or
shotguns - you don't have to own them but have
at least shot them/had one in you're hands.

Lets keep it fun and positive.

My favorites:

M1 Garand, you gotta love that ping at the end!

M1 Carbine, just fun, fun, fun to shoot!

30-40 Krag, the smootest bolt action in the world.

Spencer Carbine .50-.56, just for the 'history' of it
and the LARGE holes it makes!

Marlin GS .45-70, best 'brush gun'/big bore Carbine
yoiu'll ever need - shoots accurately out to 150 yards
and hits like a truck! ... and you can reload them up
to 500+ gn easily found bullets!

Colt 1911, historical classic - of they could only talk,
fits my hand like a leather glove. More aftermarket
stuff than you can shake a stick at!

Colt Python, one VERY smoooooth pistol!

S&W .500, biggest and baddest bark ... and the 'BITE'
is awesome! ... also a big 'attention getter' at the range!

Lets see...  Ruger Bisley and T/C contender for short and long range handgunning, respectively. 

For the fast stuff, I gotta go with my Remington 870.  She's been a faithful friend for many years. 

In rifles, I'd say Rem 700 in 6MM.  Possibly the most accurate hunting rifle I've ever fired, and a M94 .30-30.

But possibly my favorite, go to gun, for when someting need killin' I reach for a .22LR in a M9422.  Fast, accurate enough to get the job done and light enough to carry everywhere.

This is a terrrrrrible question..............

I'll try (these I am using on current or planned hunts):

Ruger m77 270win (2007 Brady Ranch hunt for axis, fallow, Sika)
Ruger #1  45/70 (every chance I get, used this year by my nephew on a hog)
Rem 700 bdl ss 375HH (For 2008 Alaskan brownie and moose hunt, 2007 asiatic water buff at Brady and 2006 bison)
Rem 700 LVSS 223 (just weekly fun!)
Ruger 77/17  17hrm (ditto)
Ruger M77ul 243win (not sure..possible javelina at Indianhead Ranch in TX)

For handguns.....I am enamored with my new SW m29 mountain gun in 44mag (put mt other 29 and SBH away for a rest), my colt LW commander and browning HP.....

oh yeah...almost forgot...looking for another excuse to use my large ring mannlincher(sp?) stocked mauser in 7x57 soon......
