    Default favorite rifle?

    What one of your guns is your favorite I have seven guns (hoping to get more)
    so it kind hard to decide which one of them I like most.
    but it probably will have to be my Stevens 200, 243 win
    (sorry to all of my other guns for picking favorites)
    I have painted the stock on it so its now snow camo!
    I am trying to sell one of my guns , and buy a new one!

    Tony I know how you feel I have 16 Pistols and 73 Long arms to choose from. The worst is I bought each of them because ai really liked them. I really do like them and enjoy shooting each and everyone of them but I seem to only get to shoot each of them once a year sometimes twice.
    I do love my 40-90 SBN though it was my first sharps and I always wanted one since I was a wee bit of a lad.
    Have fun and enjoy Ken

    PS I hope you get more guns too, just so it complicates your choice even more.
    It is a great dilema to be in.

    I guess a toss up between my Winchester lever 44mag, and the 45-70 NEF SS.
    For small game,it would have to be my Davey Kricket 22 SS bolt action. Yes, it's a kids' rifle.A story behind that one.
    My handguns are mostly in 45 Colt/454 Casull.Which 45 today ?.....A NM Vaquero,
    BlackHawk,F.A., or Uberti.

    My favorite is the one thats sighted in at the time I need one! Probably my 308 Win is the one I grab more often than not. My newest is the flavour of the month but - a 300WSM necked up to .423 called the 404 Aussie Stalker. Shoots a 400grain bullet into 1.5 inches at 100 metres and drops camels like the hammer of Thor. Should be able to try it on Buff later this year.

    My favorite rifle is a tie between my Colt AR 15 HBar and Colt AR 15 HBar Elite.
    Both are excellent rifles and depending on iron sights or scope will determine which (if not both) go to the range.
    Those Colt AR 15s are hard to beat.
    From my cold dead hands.
    If it ain't a Colt it is a copy.

    1st favorite rifle: I'd have to say it would be one of my 6.5x54mm Model 1903 Mannlicher-Schoenauer full stock carbines. Just handy and ever so comfortable to use/carry in the field/shoot. Almost as powerful as your 6.5 Swede.

    2nd favorite: Next for favorit/comfortable long guns would be the Ruger #3 carbine. I used a rebored from .223 Rem to .257 Rbts for caibou for many years. Have added a .223 Rem rebored to .308 WCF and it's become the favorite of the favorite #3's. I've two other in .30-40 Krag that I'm quite fond of as well.

    3rd favorite: Then would come one of several .45-70 rifles/carbines. "Anything other than a .45-70 is blasphemy!" as someone once told me in 2006, while cutting up moose meat...................................just outside of Delta Junction.

    I'm very partial to the round myself. I shoot it out of an ancient Mannlicher Greek military rifle that came back with a friend's dad from WWII. It's a tack driver, but it looks like it's been run over by several tanks.
