My favorite pistol has to be the Ruger Single Six .32H&R birdshead...the "vaquerito"...one hell of a weapon.
My favorite rifle has to be the Ruger No. 1 Sporter in .45-70.

hard choice, probably my old m70 7x57.just like a good child,always does what i ask it. but maybe my 35 Whelan improved m70.it fits like a good pair of jeans and has dropped everything I pulled the trigger on.

Katahdin,
Hey that last post caught my attention. I never knew there was a 35 Whelan Ackley Imp. Can you tell me who did the custom job and on what action? Sounds like a great cartridge. Any ballistic info also appreciated.

Beleive it or not! My favorite is my Marlin MR-7 in .270 This was the bolt action rifle that Marlin put out back in 1996 and discontinued in 1999. All the best features wrapped up in one rifle and a great cost to boot. Too bad they decided to give up on it.
