RE: What gun do you REALLY love?
Which category of "love" are you talking about? 
Hands down I "love" my Sako/Lazzeroni Warbird the most. It's like cheating, no matter what it is or how far it is, they can also run, but they will only die tired. I really love this gun and treat it like what it is... one of my 3 mistress'
I have one wife, but 3 mistress'. They are my bassboat, my Harley and my Sako. The rest of my toys are just that.
Now "love" wise in the fond memories its hands down my '06 700ADL. I got it when I was 13 and it looks nothing like it did then, but for sentimental reasons I enjoy it. Can't wait for my kids to get big enough to use it.
I also "love" and more like CHERISH my grandads ol' Marlin 336RC 35Rem. He gave it too me when I was 14 and he made me promise him I wouldn't scope it (he believed "saddle guns" weren't supposed to have scopes!). So I haven't and I only carried it out once to whack a doe with it just to say I had killed with it. He passed away several years ago so the gun means that much more too me. I was the first grandchild so I will pass this one down to my first as well.
Heck I guess I love ALL the guns I have in my safe, I guess the only ones I didn't love aren't around any longer so I obviously didn't love em now did I?

My Browning .223 composite stalker. It is the gun I have with me nearly all the time. It is just fun to shoot, and always deadly when it needs to be.

I love my T/C Encores and Contenders, but my favorite is a little cheap Marlin 46M 22lr bolt rifle that belonged to my papaw. He passed away in '86 and memaw gave it to me a couple days after that. It ain't worth much, but to me, its priceless!!

My Remington 742 Woodsmaster carbine in .30-06. I bought it used a while back, and it's just a tremendous little rifle. It came with a Leupold Vari-X II 3-9x40 scope, and was obviously someone's very special hunting rifle.
A couple of weeks ago, I killed a feral hog with it (my first-ever big-game kill).

Oh man...critters inside 500 yds aren't safe. 5-150gr sierra match boat-tails inside 1/2" hot barrel or not, it don't care. A trule once in a lifetime factory killer.
