Whats your favorite gun?

[wired]

Does a 300 BO (Black out?) caliber firearm shoot like a 30-30 and a 30-06 in power and distance?

Excuse my ignorance here. Thank you.

Take care.

Not even. Closer to a 7.62x39. same case as a .223. Cut down a bit and necked to 30 cal. You can push a 150 grain to 2200 fps or so. It's really made to launch 220 grain at 1000 fps to keep them subsonic.

Ok and thanks. I have never seen a 300 BO firearm at my range. And if someone was shooting one, they were not shooting close to me at my favorite ranges or 'bays'.

I have shot a couple of .223 rifles.

I shot one 7.62 x 39 rifle in GJ, CO on BLM land and another one at a high power shoot in my former Great Lakes state at my Sportsman's Club.

The one rifle (SKS?) at the SC was owned by a buddy of mine who was a club member like me. My old friend was a Nam Vet and he showed me his rifle and another tall/big man stood by me when I shot it too.

The one on Colorado BLM land was by a stranger who owned the 7.62 x 39 rifle who saw me shooting a CF rifle (Ruger Mini 14.) for the first time ever in my entire life. My Nam Vet friend owned the Mini 14 rifle. I was not going to shoot it unless the stranger and my trusted friend showed it to me and stood by me because I had ONLY shot my first CF rifle in my entire life 20 some minutes before the stranger came over to me and wanted me to try it out. He saw me shoot a whole BUNCH of handguns and that Mini 14.

Thank you for the information. Good shooting to you!

I enjoy shooting a lot of guns, and varied rounds I reload for.
The gun that never stays home and has proven accuracy & reliability is my HK VP9SK.
It's a perfect fit in my hand, and we seem to think along the same lines 95% of the time there are bullets chambered and targets down range.
10K rounds & going strong.

Most any Ruger S/A revolver

It is big bore week around my neck of the woods. So my favorites for the moment are my marlin 45-70 I am developing some whoop arse 305gr extreme penetrator rounds for. And a pair of 458 socoms, one pistol one rifle that I am developing super and sub hunting loads for.

 

[kmk1012]

For me it's my 22/45 Lite suppressed, it's silly quiet and die hard reliable.

I know we're supposed to say something really cool that we have, and makes us giddy as a school girl but the fact of the matter is my "favorite" is my first. Plain Jane Mossberg 500 with an 18.5" security barrel. Stated the whole thing out that way and it therefore had the biggest impact on my life. Also killed my first game animal with it, which in hindsight was an ugly kill. Always has and anyways will stand guard as my HD gun and will be the first to come with me if "S" does indeed ever "HTF." No need for a picture, you seen it if you've ever been to a gun store

Favorite gun overall? Tough choice but probably my Broomhandle.

Favorite to shoot? I would settle on my M16A1 clone. Light, accurate and visually appealing.

WOW! That's like asking me which is my favorite tool in the garage. It depends on what
I want to do.
I guess when it comes to firearms though, it would be a toss up between my S&W 469 and my S&W Mod. 15-1 Combat Masterpiece. They both feel good in my hand.

My favorite tool in the garage is my 1943 South bend lathe. My favorite wife's name is Natasha.

It seems to change on a pretty frequent basis, but right now it's the one I'm not supposed to have, my Q Honey Badger. I took this photo about a week before the ATF decided to reclassify it as an SBR instead of a pistol. Now I'm waiting on my E-file Form 1 to be approved so I can put it back together.

 

[Oryguner]

Trying to pick just one favorite really makes my head hurt as my interests are far too varied. A few I'm really "fond" of might include:

5.7X28mm SBR AR
CZ 452 .17 HMR

Early Ruger 10-22 with finger grove stock.

STG58 FAL on Imbel receiver.

5.45X39mm Saiga AK

Suppressed High Standard Trophy with Burris FastFire.

5.8M Springfield M1 Garand.

1981 vintage Springfield M1A

I could go on but I think you can see my dilemma.

 

[Mike_M57]

Winchester Model 52 .22LR w/ 10x unertl scope. Gonna take something pretty special to unseat this one from the top spot.



I need to get new pictures.

 

[Flopsweat]

I love all of my children equally.

But my CZ 452 and MP5 are the hardest to say no to.

 

[L84Cabo]

I love each and every one of my guns EQUALLY!

Hang on a second...

*runs and closes the bedroom door*

Sorry, they were listening.

It's a tie between my Wilson CQB and my M&P 9mm CORE w/Apex trigger. I mean the Wilson is just a beautiful gun and a joy to shoot. And the M&P is just workhorse that runs and runs and didn't cost an arm and a leg. But I can't let the children know I have favorites.

 

[fstdraw]

No contest. Winchester Mod. '92 carbine in .44-40 made around 1925. Smooth, accurate, no recoil and drop dead sexy!

 

[DeanMk]

Right now, probably a couple of the shotguns.
My ol' H&R and Dad's 1100 lightweight, both 20's.
My brother and I both have bad memories of Dad's JC Higgins Model 20, but I pulled it out of the case the other day and threw it up on my shoulder.....man, it was like the thing was an extension of me!
I'll have to give that one another go, once the ranges open back up.
