best gun for what?
if limited to a single firearm, I want a stainless heavy barrel 308 win M1a with a decent 4x16x 50mm scope
if were talking hunting I want a weatherby fibermark markV stainless 340 wby with a decent 4x16x 50mm scope
in a combat pistol I want a glock 10mm mod 40 with a lone wolf barrel
for plinking a marlin mod 39 22lr with a 2x/7x leopold scope will do.
