Re: What is Your favorite Rifle?
Hard to beat a good AR15. Accurate, light, durable and easy to maintain. There are better rifles for special situations, but if I could have only one rifle, it would be an AR15 in 5.56mm. Sure, if I could have any one rifle, it would be an M16. Optics preferred either an Aimpoint (M2 or post) or a good illuminated LPVO.

Re: What is Your favorite Rifle?
My BCM 11.5 is my current favorite right now.
Have shot some others but nothing too special. Various AR type platforms like MCX, 416, MK18, and so on.
Never been all that big of a bolt action fan. ACR/SCAR, and AUG were cool, but I still prefer a trusty ol AR.

My late 1800s/early 1900s Steven No. 44 single shot. I love that damn thing.

It is my Springfield M1. Takes a licking and keeps on pinging.

I've been having fun with my Coopers
Re: What is Your favorite Rifle?
Can I have only one? Bolt is Remington 700 in 308 and lever is Winchester 94 30-30. The Henry Steel Boy in 357 is climbing the list.

Re: What is Your favorite Rifle?
I just posted this in the picture thread, but here goes...
My custom 308win Remington 700. Barrel cut back and rechambered, muzzle threaded and recrowned, reckoned, blueprinted, trigger work, fiberglass stock. It'll stack Federal Gold Medal Match into one hole even with the cheap glass.

Re: What is Your favorite Rifle?
It may seem basic and perhaps not very exciting, but my favorite rifle, without a doubt has got to be the M1 Garand. Had history, shoots the 30.06, low recoil, and very accurate. You can’t ask or hope for much more.

Re: What is Your favorite Rifle?
There are (4) rifles that I'll absolutely never get rid of, but if I had to single out one as my absolute favorite it'd be the M1 Carbine.

Re: What is Your favorite Rifle?
I always wanted an M1 carbine, but I missed the boat on getting them cheap. For the price they are now, I'd rather just build two ARs.Old Jeff H wrote: ↑December 7th, 2020, 3:43 pm There are (4) rifles that I'll absolutely never get rid of, but if I had to single out one as my absolute favorite it'd be the M1 Carbine.

Re: What is Your favorite Rifle?
Yes I got lucky and bought mine for $200.00 at Lone Wolf back in the early 90's.
A friend of mine had one when I was in high school that I shot often and it became a must own item for me. I think it was the 3rd firearm I ever purchased on my own.

Re: What is Your favorite Rifle?
If you paid $200 in 1990, that'd work out to $398 today adjusted for inflation. I'd have been all over that.Old Jeff H wrote: ↑December 7th, 2020, 4:35 pmYes I got lucky and bought mine for $200.00 at Lone Wolf back in the early 90's.
