I have not, I am sure I will end up with one sooner or later. Lol.
Overall: Accuracy International AT or AXMC. I owned an AT for awhile but sold it when funds got tight awhile ago. I miss that thing. Accurate, versatile, smoothest action I’ve ever felt, loved the 60* bolt throw, and AI makes the best 2-stage trigger on the market for field use. I’ll have another some day!
Surplus: I’ve always had a thing for the Lee Enfield No4 Mk2. Not entirely sure why, but they look good, they’re relatively accurate, and the action is slicker than snot and super fast. I’d say the Swiss K31 is right up there with it, though. Smooth, fast action, impeccable machine work and finishing, and incredibly accurate.
Semi-Auto: Gotta be the FAL. Lots of good autos out there, but nothing beats a well-made FAL!
Single shot: for an affordable option, the CZ/BRNO Effect FS is drop dead gorgeous. If you have money to burn, the Merkel K3 Stutzen full-stock rifles are unbeatable.
Honorable mention: CZ 550FS. They’re a bit heavy, but boy are they sexy! The single set triggers are nice as well. Had a few, sold them as well. That was a huge mistake, as they’re now discontinued and rising sharply in price!

Not sure if it would be my favorite but I get a kick shouldering my IWI Timberwolf in 357 mag pump action.

OOOH!,... very nice, I have looked for one in 44 mag for decades!!
Picked up a like new Remmy 7615 pump in 223/5.56 a few years back, to kinda quiet my jones, for a straight walled caliber pump action rifle,.... but, as nice as it is, I still yearn for a older pump action. from years of research, it seems the Israeli Timberwolf is about the most reliable of all the pump actions produced.

1970 Marlin 1895 45-70 with a shortened 16" Barrel, has an old chip in the stock that was there when i bought it lots of character. This is easily my favorite rifle. I added a WWG glove loop lever and a stainless mag follower plus a slip on recoil pad to offer a little comfort and add about 3/4" to LOP. Other than that its all stock. Shoots like a dream. I mostly shoot the lighter weight Hornaday leverevolution ammo in it. This one always goes with me anytime im out away from home in the Jeep or truck. Sits i a horse scabbard in the Jeep like its part of the interior. Something about it just does it for me.
