What style of rifle do you favor?

[Elk34]

In the. What's your favorite rifle thread, I saw a lot of lever guns. So that's why I'm asking.

 

[Bullzaye]

Levers are fun, and can be useful. Bolts can be useful. For me, all around... semi-autos make the most sense, most of the time.

 

[EarlCordova]

AR15 for me.

 

[semperfisurveyor]

If I’m using it to defend myself...semi-auto

 

[Ballistic Therapy]

Hunting = bolt
Defense = semi auto
Playing around = all the above and then some

Same here

 

[Seif]

90% of half of what I use is all three, the rest of the time I use the others.

 

[HPMike800]

Not really a fair question. A shot range carbine is always going to be a semi. longer than about 300 yds bolts come to the forefront.
I tend to shoot long range so I guess I favor a bolt. I see the question as a one or the other not which is better.

Bolt action - Long distance target shooting
Semi-auto - Zombies (Sig Rattler)
Lever gun - Fun and if there are any bison roaming around

 

[Tim McBride]

I own one bolt action(Rem721), and one lever gun(Savage 99)
Everything else, even the shotguns are semi auto.

It all depends on the need. Hunting, bolt (8mm Mauser or .308). Defense, semi-auto or pump 12 ga. For plinking and fun, all.

no pump or single ? got to love a "galley gun" 22

I like shooting 22's more than anything else.
The pump 22's are one of the guns I like shooting the most.
I have more of them than any other.
Lever 22's are a close second.

 

[TacMedic]

All about the M4

 

[Stray Horse]

I use mostly bolt rifles for hunting because they are the most accurate that I have.
I do have levers and semis but they are mostly for fun

 

[mtptwo]

Semi are my choice, though I would take a lever action in a heartbeat

 

[792mauser]

My true favorites are my semi auto battle rifles.
M1
M1a
4 FN FAL
1 (hate it but love the accuracy) PTR 308

Should've traded you that Stoeger double barrel a million years ago so that you would have ONE shotgun that wasn't semi auto :lol:

Agree with most everybody else, depends entirely on what kind of shooting I'm doing. But I do love a good lever action just for fun.

 

[samnev]

While I prefer semi's my favorite rifle is an Accuracy International Arctic Warfare (AIAW),

 

[jes3se]

I mostly shoot semi auto, but inherited Grandpa’s gallery gun style pump .22. That thing is a blast. 26” octagonal barrel, patina everywhere, thumbscrew takedown.

Makes me want a lever gun. For a little bit more oomph, but old school feel.
