Your favorite gun

What would be your all-time favorite gun?

30-30/ scoped was my first ever real gun...
M1 Guran
12 Gauge
357 Magnum
And my all-time favorite -- Red Rider BB Gun! I think we've all had a couple of these in our time!

I would have to say, my ruger 10-22. My reasoning is the price of ammo and the low recoil. I have a variety including 2 12ga shotguns, a bolt 30-06, mauser 45-70, muzzleloader, lever action 45, matching vaquero, and a new walther p22. The walther is probably 2nd for the same reasons. Ted

SKS is just plain fun to shoot

30-06 that my father gave me that is 30 years old and straight stock. It is more accurate than my friend with a 10X that has been customized is. HA!

HK-USP COMP 40 is my CCW gun. I love it, because if fits my had so well and I love the night sights that I had installed.

My all time favorites are a gun that has never been fired. It is a 30-30 NRA anniversary addition that I dote over. This will be the gun that I give to my son.

.68 Automag

I guess my "favorite" would have to be my .68 caliber Automag.

An ~easy~ 4 rounds a second and trust me; whatever you hit with it KNOWS it's been hit - and so do you.

It's a little on the heavy side for a handgun, probably six pounds fully loaded . . but that can actualy be a good thing, trust me!!

Mike.
P.S. Did I forget to mention it is a paintball gun?
