RE: Guns you like . Why ??
It all started with a Red Rider in my youth. Then came the Crossman 760. It was not until I was old enough to move out of the house that I could have a real gun. Moms rules!!!
The one Taurus I own is little spurless .44 Sp. A great shooter. The milling is not as nice( alittle rough on the edges) as you might see on a Colt, SW, or Ruger but the price was right and the feel is awesome.
I've made a few bad sells. I unloaded my Supa Redhawk a few years back. I bought it used and had some problems with it. Only a couple times did it hang fire when using some aftermarket reloads. All in all it was great gun. One gun I need to get back. I'm a Dirty Harry fan.
Another mistake was selling the Mini-14 ranch. That was another great gun but I am more happier with the DPMS AR-15. It has less of a recoil I believe and a slicker action.
My camo Mossberg 500 was my 1st purchase. Another realible gun. The slide is little noisery than most pumps but all in all it is one great 'beater' gun. I felt kinda funny showing up at the skeet house with a turkey gun so I later purchased a SKB 585. SO I could hobknob with all the skeet boys. The fit and finish on this gun is by far the nices I own. It has work flawlessly except when using light loads. Light loads aren't strong enough to reset the pin when shooting doubles.
By far my most fav is the Marlin lever .44 mag. I just love lever actions for some reason and this gun is one I would recommend to anyone looking for a great gun. From recoil to fit to accuracy and price this gun is awesome.
10/22 what can you say. Probably the best .22 semi on the market.
For ML'ing I'll take my Knight any place. Its only failed me one time. Even with open sights this gun was knocking the ten ring out of the box. Last year the front sight fell out for some reason so instead of replacing it I put a scope on it. GO figure!!!
The least played with guns I own are the 'run of the mill' Ruger 30-06 and the old Enfield .303. Whomever had the .303 took care of it. The wood and bore are in great shape and it shoots freaking great.
Got a Ruger P95. Its alittle fat for my hands but a great gun. It has yet to hang up on any load. Also got one of those SS .22 bull barrel jobers with a simulated wood grip. Thats one fun plinker.
And I can't forget my tater guns. Always a crowd pleasure.
I don't have a favorite manufacturer but I do like Rugers. Fit, finish and price of their guns are hard to beat in my book. Plus I like their history. I really try to buy American when I can.
I just wish I more money for more guns!!!
