    Buddy and I were having a conversation and it got me thinking. Lots of gun nuts on here. What are your favorites? Only condition I’ll put on it is you have to have shot it to put it on your list. Not necessarily own, but at least shot one. Backstories on why are fun to read if you’re up for typing it out. I’ll start out with my top 5.

    5. Mossberg 500 - first fun I ever shot with some serious kick. I think I was roughly 10 years old. About knocked me on my ass but made my 10 year old self feel like such a man. Kind of sentimental because of that
    4. H&K VP9 - nothing special but for whatever seems to be the perfect pistol for me. Nothing has ever been quite as good of a fit as this.
    3. Marlin 60 - perfect plinking .22. The 10/22 makes me think too much. Too many options on how to build it and all that. So what if the marlin only shoots cci mini mags reliably. It’s simple and fun. Iron sights only for the win.
    2. Mauser K98 - because fuck your mosin nagant. Truly the most organic shooting experience I’ve ever had.
    1. FN Scar 17S - pure badass/giggle factor. Nuff said.

    Honorable mentions - colt single action in .45 LC, Daniel Defense Mk.18, H&K MP5

    Ruger KGP100...SS 357 6" barrel. Nothing exceptional but the thing just feels right. That and my Grand Father's 1908 Remington pump action 22 with octagon barrel and 4x scope. Again, a bit on the heavy side but accurate out past 100 yards. Most unusual was Colin's 50 cal Barret.

    Ruger 1022 is still my absolute favorite.

    Honorable mention to the 50cal muzzle loader tho, smoke and fire is always fun :D

    I don't shoot much anymore but the last two that stuck in my head were a Norinco M305 and a M1A Scout.

    Even though it's heresy I would buy an M305.

    Far from my favorites, those tend to be the M1911A1 and whatever it was I shot last.

    10/22 is an awesome rifle. I just found I spent more time surfing the web for all the goodies, trying to figure out how to set it up perfectly, what kind of optic to use, blah blah blah. I’ve never done any of that with the marlin. I just go shoot the damn thing and have a blast doing it.

    Franchi SPAS-12 with the wrap around stock. One arm, 9 rounds faster than you can pull the trigger.

    Not gonna lie, this is on my short list of guns to own. Never had a chance to fire one though

    Way way way over rated. Neat to own (I guess), okay to fire if you're a masochist but neaterest to sell to some complete sucker who has to have one and will pay you what you are asking even though it ridiculous. :D

    Mossberg 44US. Grand father bought it from the Ft Thomas armory and it has served the family well. accurate out past 70 yards (all the longer we have to play with at home) with cheap 22l and vermeer sights.

    Keep in mind that favorite does not mean best. Especially with the parameters outlined regarding having shot it.

    10/22, or hi point 995. Cheap to buy. Cheap to shoot. Possible edge to the 995, because it’s a “real” caliber, although obviously not a rifle caliber.

    I just really enjoy not having to count rounds and add up costs in my head. I like ARs as well, but i always have the round cost in the back of my mind.

    Trying to win another congressional medal of why in the f@ck would you do that, audie murphy? :D

    I've had the opportunity to shoot a few of those and not one has worked 100%. Clapped out like every SV650 in MA, bad ammo, bad magazines. Just never worked like they should. Mini14 does what the M1 carbine supposed to and works 100% of the time.

    When you start going on about how great Triumph Spitfires are once you get the wiring harness right, Gramps, I've driving over and punching you in the rooster until you admit you're senile. :D
