I love my new TACOPS .308 topped with an S&B scope, but the gun I shoot the most is my trusty ruger 10/22 followed closely by my FN five seven. Probably because the ammo is cheaper, but the ruger is a joy - not super accurate, just fun.

Re: Which gun do you shoot the most?
I will trade you ten 10-22s for your TacOps, think of how much more fun you could have.
Oh, and I shoot my Surgeon 243 by far the most.

Re: Which gun do you shoot the most?
I would have to say the most rounds I shoot are 22lr, also have a 10/22 as well as a converted 1911 and ar15, cheap ammo, not loud, and doesnt beat you up....

Re: Which gun do you shoot the most?
My 20 inch HBAR Colt and my Savage Mark II 22 LR
About once a month I have to burn a few mags through the M1A cause its so much fun !!!
The 1911 gets worked every range trip ... so in reality that probably gets shot the most.

Re: Which gun do you shoot the most?
Ruger 10/22, it is by far the cheapest and probably the most fun to shoot. It started off stock, but boy did it get expensive quick while tricking it out.

Re: Which gun do you shoot the most?
Hmm, I probably shoot the Savage Mark 2 the most, cheap, fun, reliable. First firearm I ever purchased, when I turned 16. 120 bucks with synthetic stock, bought it from the gun store I worked at, also a 3x9 x40 Buckmaster, I think scope, it still resides on it today. I later camo'd it out myself and the paint job still is present.
Second is the Bushmaster .223, like the practice for work, also fun to shoot, and not too expensive. Everyone likes shooting it so I make em buy ammo and I shoot there stuff. Its got the M4 upper assy, w/ heavy barrel and the full sized m16 stock.
Close third is the M1 Carbine, it would surpass the bush but not much ammo for it and its at the folks house. Even though the sights are in need of Major adjusting its probably more fun then the Bush to shoot. I would like to get a new bolt and barrel eventually and maybe start reloading ammo and move it past the Bush in the line up.
Even Fourth my M48 Yugo Mitchell Mauser, even though the kick is atrocious its the first weapon I really got into reloading with, and refinished the stock myself and it even took the place of my trusty 30-06 savage for deer hunting in PA. Probably never take a better, more reliable weapon into the woods then that. I got it as a 18th birthday present from my folks, ordered from Mitchell Mauser all parts matching #s in outstanding condition.
Fifth is my new Rem 700 spsv in 308. I haven't had the weapon very long and just started to reload ammo for it, on top of getting married, moving, and getting deployed. After I get some work done I think it will be up there.
Sorry if that was lengthy just wanted to give some reasons why I chose what I did, other ones in the arsenal come to mind and I think the one that sticks out the most is my Yugo SKS...... because it is one of the least favorite one to shoot lol, just the cleaning and accuracy and disassembly. Im going to try to sell it as soon as I can, kinda bought it out of peer pressure on myself, much rather have an AK or something instead. but 150 bucks I guess you cant beat it.

Re: Which gun do you shoot the most?
77/22 and Mark II target get the most use....mainly because I shoot them in the yard with the kids all the time. Second would be a 77/17 that lives in the truck and is my crow stalker...a few rounds a week but it adds up. The guns I shoot most at the range are a Surgeon .243 and 1911's.

Re: Which gun do you shoot the most?
The short answer is the NFA 1919A4 on a per round count (one outing is several cases of ammo just to do a test fire ;-).
For actual rifle shooting (which the 1919A4 is not), what ever is the current project rifle (new, changed scope, developing loads etc.) is fired the most with the Rem PSS 308 shooting GMM filling in second place (don't have to load ammo for it so it is always ready to shoot, except when you "borrow" the scope for a new project rifle ;-).

My .22's (Savage MKIIF, mod'ed 10/22, Mossberg 44), and my .260 Rem Savage custom.
For hunting, an M70 .30-'06, a Win 94AE .44Mag, several 20ga slug guns, both bolt and semi, times past, a .50cal Sidelock Percussion muzzle loader, and newly old this year, a .280 Rem Ruger 77MKI sporter heirloom with a made in USA Redfield 4-12x40 mounted.
'Chucks get the classic treatment with M700 .222 and .223.
I will be fielding the .222 for tomorrow's FV200 match. It's economical, and danged accurate, too.

Re: Which gun do you shoot the most?
Ruger 1022 here as well, actually 2 of them. One stocker with Tech Sights, the other with a Butler Creek barrel and stock kit, topped off with a Vortex Crossfire 6-24X50. We buy the 5000 round cases of subsonic target ammo from CMP. We typically go through 3-4 cases per year. The old trusty 1911 gets an average of 400-500 per year. It saves a ton casting my own bullets. Also cast 125 gr. lead for the wife's Taurus PT111. She has nearly 400 through it since I bought it for her B'day in August.

Re: Which gun do you shoot the most?
By "most" are we talking:
Most Trips to the Range?
or
Most rounds downrange?
Most trips to the range would be my 700, but is being replaced by the AI AE.
Most rounds downrange would be my M4 followed by my G21. Training sessions on them last up to eight hours, although I put almost as many rounds through a SIM G17 as I do live rounds through my G21. One string of fire with any of those three may result in a mag change or two. I actually do wear out parts on them.

As far as round count goes it would be my 1911-22, then the Ak, then my Savage 223, followed by another savage in 225 WIN. Time spent behind the gun though is hands down the 223 followed closely by the 225.

Re: Which gun do you shoot the most?
Stock Ruger MKII slabside and 10/22 are a close tie. Unknown thousands of rounds through both and both as accurate as they were the day off the rack. Rarely clean either or do anything but load and shoot them. SPS Varmint 243 sees the most field time due to the summer months while varminting from April until September. The AR still has the highest hunting kill percentages of them all when I don't look for the extremely long shots. That RRA A4 Varmint rifle is a hammer. The Omega muzzleloader has nearly 100% kill to shot ratios in the field. It is what I rely on to fill the freezer. I think there is a direct relation in the most shot guns I own and the cost of ammo, upkeep, and barrel life. I don't even consider the barrel life on my rimfires and AR, but seem to reserve unnecessary shots on the bigger caliber rifles and hotter varmint rigs to make them "last".

When I bought my mark II it was fairly well used and I put a little over 3600 rounds through before cleaning other than when I first bought it. Finally decided to clean it cause it jammed twice on me, but only after firing over 3600 rounds without a single malfunction. The thing was sure as hell accurate too with the aimpoint I had on it. It could make very consistent hits at 100 yards on a prairie dog spinner target that measures about 8"x4". I really, really wish I wouldn't have sold that gun to buy a 1911-22, bad decision. The 1911-22 is very picky about what ammo it likes, and most of the bulk stuff I like to shoot wont feed worth a damn through it, but at least cci blazer feeds reasonably well.
