Favorite Rifle/Shotgun
 

what's y'alls all-around favorite rifle/shotgun?? I like the Ruger 10/22, Marlin 1886 (35 remington), AR-15, and Winchester Model 1873 as rifles. And my all around favorite shotgun is the Remington 1100. I have a Franchi single shot that shoots a great pattern, shoots2 1/2" shells.

I'm still a fan of the old 870. But I'm becoming more of a fan of the rifle/shotgun combos. Especially since I do a lot of hog hunting in mountain lion country.


This is the Savage 24F in 12 guage and 30-30. Not a bad brush gun.

Oh man that hita nerve. I have so many different favorite gun depending where I'm deer hunting.
Rifle-Remmington 7400 with a 3-9 Niukon Buckmaster scope
Muzzle loader Thompson Center Omega with a 3-9 Buckmaster scope
Shotgun Rifled barrel Remming 11-87 with a simmons 3-9 Scope
Unscoped shotgun with a rifled Barrel Browning Auto-5
Buck shot gun Browning Auto-5 3 in Mag. with a full choke 32 in barrel

But if I had to pick just one favorite it would be a Browning Auto-5 with a 26 in barrel and invector chokes. The best amd most reliable gun ever made and set up like this I could hunt everything.

Remington 760 in 30-06, and remington 1100 12 ga.

Hey DM! Do you have any issues with that scope? Does it matter whether you are shooting the shot or bullet?

I've never even considered putting a scope on mine, thought I would have zeroing issues.

I don't exactly understand your question, but:

The scope is mounted with claw mounts, so i just keep it in my pack when i don't need it. I can snap it on anytime and it always comes back to zero... Same with the other guns i've had with claw mounts, they have all worked excelent!

If i didn't answer your question, ask again and i'll explain further...

To me, it's the 65 GTO of guns; Sure there are plenty of cars that are faster, havebetter handling, better aerodynamics, more options, more value, etc............But there ain't nuthin like it. :)

Shotgun: have owned several, but none has qualified as a "favorite". I hope to find one that does some day.
