which one is your favorite? I have an FN Scar16 which is a sweet shooter, plus a couple of shotguns and several rimfires and several handguns - have to say that my favorite is my Kimber .45 with the 4" barrel. That sucker fits right, shoots great and would be the last one to go in a fire sale. My opinion might change after I get my TacOps - we'll see.

My M39, CZ 452 and R700 .308 are all very close. I love them all but my Remmy gets the most spent on her and I do love shooting it the most.

My Grandfather's M1 Garand
It doesn't get shot as much as the others, but it's the one I would not turn loose of for anything. It's also a perfectly capable battle rifle.

Several people responded similarly, including showing pistols. Sorry to arouse the ire of the board police.
I can't choose a favorite among those listed.

Of my rifles, the "keeper" is my Remington tactical 40-XB. Very accurate and fun to shoot. 308win is versatile round.
Of my pistols, it is my Sig p226 Blackwater. Comes with four 20-round magazines. Grip fits me well, and front fiberoptic sight is quick and easily visible.

Re: Of all the guns you own
I think I'd have to say my .300 win sps with my nixon. Plenty of horse power and not a bad shooter and just a good lookin rifle. Not near as expensive as what most of y'all are shooting but on my budget I think I did purty good. you guys got some really nice rifles!

Re: Of all the guns you own
A TRG-22, 2 GAPs, 1 APA and a literal $hit pot full of older Sakos and other customs from various quality makers,and the last one to go will be an old Rem 742 in 30-06 that a mother bought her 13 year old son to deer hunt with the year after his dad walked out. She managed it in some real hard times and I hope my son sets it in his safe to remember the commitment involved in having kids.

Of all the guns you own.....Since this is the title of the post, and I distinctly remember from Marine Corps bootcamp,"This is my rifle and THIS is my gun"....I believe that a pistol would be that MY primary "gun". It would be my Ed Brown Kobra Carry 45 acp.

Re: Of all the guns you own
Without question, it's my Pappaw's .30-06 Remington Gamemaster. He carried it with him when we took him hunting during the early part of his Alzheimer's spiral (unloaded), and it took a good beating. I was in college when my mom and my uncle gave it to me, right after Pappaw passed on. I've taken one deer with it, but it otherwise sits in my gunsafe...I would really, really like to get it completely re-finished, but have yet to find a place that will work on it. Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Josh

Re: Of all the guns you own
Josh my bet is you will never sell it. With that said, "them scars is memories". The value in seeing and useing it just as Paw Paw did will likely be worth more than the rifle ever will.
All of my "passed on" guns will remain forever, the way I recieved them.
Ymmv but thats my 2 cents

My Rusty Kidd 5" Viper, however, I do have a new open gun coming.
After that, my 18" Voigt/Colt AR that I use for 3-Gun. It does EVERYTHING right and I don't have to think when shooting it.

MK13 rifle built by Sloan. One of just a few in existence.
Chambered in .338 Norma Magnum it can out shoot anything else I have ever had waaaay down range.
With the suppressor it sounds like an air gun. Very easy to shoot.
Dressed up with all the toy's.

Re: Of all the guns you own
I would have to say it is my 4th or 5th 700pss. I redid a few things on it a few years ago and posted pics under my old user name of mlh26 ( think the post was "Rifle built from skills learned here", which most were, or read about enough here to finally say the hell with it and just do it) It is a rem 700pss, 308, leupold mk 4 base and rings, mk4 4.5x14x50 ILL tmr, tis sling. I did my second ever bedding job on it( devcon steel skim bed job which turned out about as perfect as mine ever will, and that also made me never try the other bedding supplies again) Replaced the factory recoil pad with an extra thick uncle mikes( What hs uses but wont sell, contacted uncle mikes directly and got a guy to sell me a NOS one), cut the stock to maintain a 13.5 LOP, Sniper fill(devcon and steel shot)in the buttstock, and a 5 color textured camo job. Also added the hs dbm with a 10rd mag, 8x40 scope base screws and devcon bedded the base to the action. The rifle loves the 178 amax(longer bullet that I can actually seat deep enoough to fit the mags with excellent accuracy) over H380. For now it is a definate keeper.
2nd to this is a ruger 77/22 22lr in blued and walnut that will hopefully be my sons childrens training rifle ( he is 28 months now so we have some time)
