Mr. Nameless · 02-28-2009, 07:15 PM

this has probably been done, but what is your favorite gun that you own(legaly), mine is the bolt action .270, and its always loded just in case

Big ugly · 02-28-2009, 07:21 PM

8mm mouser. That 98k I have is a beast. I even like the "legenday chicken fairy" that dances before my eyes evry time that old girl kicks me. I love it, RRAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Mr. Nameless · 02-28-2009, 07:23 PM

gotta agree with that, ive shot a friends, but i dont own

21bravo · 02-28-2009, 07:26 PM

my favorite in my ever growing collection has to be my Ruger M77 Hawkeye All Weather chambered in .308 winchester. its topped by a Bushnell Elite 4200 4x16x40mm scope. its the best out of the box, with no customizing, shooter ive ever had.

I finished it for ya... Hope ya don't mind.

My favorite carry gun in the summer is a KelTec P3AT. My favorite carry gun in the winter is a Kahr PM40 (or Taurus PT145). My favorite plinker pistol is a Ruger 22/45. My favorite rimfire rifle is a customized Ruger 10/22. My favorite short-range hunting rifle is an AK.... I could go on and on...

Favorites are a relative thing... It depends on the purpose.

Mr. Nameless · 02-28-2009, 07:30 PM

LOL...Had to do a double take. I misread that as "I've shot at friends but I don't own one."

Actually I own very few at the moment, so don't have enough to have a favorite

RunningOnMT · 02-28-2009, 07:43 PM

Not familiar with a Winchester lever .308 but Davidsons has a few Marlin lever actions in .308 Marlin Express.

Mr. Nameless · 02-28-2009, 07:48 PM

ive talked to some people and i could get one custom made for $2500

ysacres · 02-28-2009, 07:52 PM

If it requires a bullet, or just needs to die, I grab the Remington VLS 22-250

Maybe so , but I think there is an inherent problem with the bullet shape of the .308 in a tube fed rifle. That's why Marlin came up with the Marlin Express.

Mr. Nameless · 02-28-2009, 08:00 PM

hmm i see, ill settle with a bolt action then

Gabob · 02-28-2009, 08:09 PM

My favorite is the one I have in my hand at the time. I just like guns and shooting

Taurus_9mm · 02-28-2009, 08:21 PM

My Taurus Raging Bull .500 Magnum. :P

Big blue long-barrel S&W 357. No, it's not a .44, but it'll still kick A##.

tundra01 · 02-28-2009, 11:32 PM

My personal favorite is a scatter gun, Trap Grade Model-12 Winchester.

Hello. . . anybody home?

B 'n B · 03-01-2009, 12:48 AM

I like 'em all for individual reasons . The Rossi is an intriguing design - a gun with interchangeable barrels .

A 20 gauge shotgun

and a rifle chambered to .223 Remington

Our first centerfire rifle (and shotgun). It makes a loud noise and has actual recoil . A real gun.

The Savage 93R17-GV makes teeny lil' holes in things that are really , really far away . The targets are at 100 yards. And look at the cute , fat lil' hedgehog I killed......

The 10/22 is great for plinking at 25-50 yards . The Henry is a handy "grab n' go" rifle with a magazine that holds 15 rounds and a real nice walnut stock . I can put .22 Win mags in the Single Six

and pretend that I'm Clint Eastwood or something.....

I'm like B & B, I like them all. They are all different and serve different purposes. If I had to, in rifle I'd say either my Shilen Bench Rest rifle, or my 40X. In pistol, it would be either my Les Baer Super Tac or my wore out Kimber Custom Classic.

Mr. Nameless, here are a couple of links to a couple of great lever action rifles in .308 Win. that don't have the tube type mag.
If you don't mind used rifles I would give the Savage model's 99 and 1895 a look. Neather of these rifles are currently being made and more than likely never be made again.
I my mind the Savage Md. 99 is one of the best lever action rifles ever made.

My favorite rifle would probably be my 45-70 Marlin Guide Gun. As far as handgun my 1911 Sig TTT would probably get the nod. I do however have a very strong affection for the S&W 22a that my wife bought for me. I put a Tasco Pro-Point red dot scope on it and the it is awsome accurate.
