RE: Your Favorite Gun
Well because this is a "favorite" one, I won't think in terms of just "working" guns but "fun" ones. Darn still hard to pick just one. I'd have to say my Swedish Mauser made in 1901 shoots as good as or better than some new ones and it is still in it's original stock.

RE: Your Favorite Gun
I like em all, like some way more than others, but my favorite would have to be my .243 Its built on a model 98 short action, Buehler safety, nice Monte carlo stock with a fixed power 4X Leupold. Most of my deer have been taken with it. It shoots like a lazer and works like a dream.

RE: Your Favorite Gun
My favorite rifle has to be a 1998 Ruger M77 Mark II in .30-06, topped with a Tasco 4-16.
My favorite shotgun has to be an old bolt action New Haven by Mossberg .410. Too bad I gave it to my girlfriend before I realized what a prize it was though!!!!!
In rimfire, I'd give it to my old 1958 (if I remember right) Marlin Model 99 M-1a in .22 lr. It's awesome, it looks just like an old m-1 carbine, only a baby version. It's had a terrible life, before I got ahold of it that is, and it's had nearly 50,000 rounds through it, but it still shoots just as accurate as any of the other .22's I've had.
