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]

I hate these kinds of choices. My favorite shotgunis my Benelli M1 Super 90. My favorite rifleis my Blaser Offoad 300WSM topped with a Zeiss Diavari 3-12x56mm. My favorite muzzleloader is my Knight Disc 50 cal topped with a Zeiss Conquest 4-14x44mm. My favorite handgun is my 1969 model S&W M38 "bodyguard".

308 BLR with 1.5x6 simmons and 150 gr nosler partitions. I could hunt every big game animal in NA with this combo out to 250 yds...and I personally don't have any business shooting beyond that.

Sorry for putting you guys on the spot like this! hehe

After much consideration I had to pick 2 firearms. My favorite rifle is my Browning A-Bolt 7mm Rem Mag, because it hits where I want at any distance at any time My favorite shotgun would be my Benelli M1 Super 90 because it fits me like a glove, its almost like its the 3rd arm I was born without.

You can't ask us to pick ONE favoritegun and thenyou pick TWO.

My Savage99 in .300 sav. is probably my favorite right now. If all I ever hunted from now onwas moose, elk, white-tail, mule deer,black bear and pronghorn it would do me OK.

That's tough. I really like my Sakos and pre '64 model 70. But there's probably only one gun I'd absolutely not part with and that's the Model 1891 7.65mm Mauser that was owned by my grandfather. I don't use it much, but it has a lot of sentimental value to me just because it's what he used.

Well, I usually don't grow too attached to my guns. I trade them too often. I've owned several guns over the years that most folks would never part with. I sold a cooper 22-250 that had shot several sub .1 Moa groups, yeah thats a .0 group folks/one holer however you want to say it. I had a friend ask me why I would sell a rifle that was so accurate. I told him that my fun was over. I like tinkering with them, making them shoot tiny groups, once that is accomplish I'm ready to move on. Its a personality quark I guess. That being said, there is only a few weapons that I would never trade or sell, I guess that would make them my favorites: My grandpa's A-5 Belgium Browning 16 gauge (for sentimental reason), My Browning A-bolt 280 rem (its like an old shirt, it just fits), and my Rem. 700 BDL 338 win (Its been to the mountain top and back too many times for me to part with it.)

Because of being color blind I might be the worst tracker in the world. When rifle hunting any big game I use my rem. 700 300 ultra mag. When hunting with a handgun I use S&W 460. When you track as bad as I do you need something that will drop em quick!
