I like the Remington 870. It's the most rugged, "drop it in the dirt, drag it through a muddy swamp, pick it up and keep hunting" type of firearm. [8D]

Second is the legendary, timeless classic, 30-30 lever action rifle. I have Marlin 30-30 and love it. There is just something about it... It just feels right and is so lightweight and easy to carry in the thick woods. [8D]
