I believe guns are like knives, you should have one specific to each task in order for it to perform at an optimum level.

My favorite is.... (I couldnt decide).
20 Zardoz Points!

I like the trust ol 870. I tend to take it everywhere. I would really like a Marlin 45-70 lever gun though, they seem really handy and I shot one years ago and I know it would make a grizzly do an "end over end".

My new one is my .280 SPS Model 700 because it's a cool caliber, a cool stock, and it'll kill anything without dislocating your shoulder.

Browning A-Bolt 30.06 with Leupold Mark VIII 2x10x45. I shoot Winchester XP3 150 grain. 1 elk at 250 yards, 2 shots dropped in his tracks. 1 buck 150 yards bedded down, 1 shot right through the neck never moved. 1 doe 1 shot double lung, dropped in its tracks. Got to like not having to track them.

Wouldn`t trade it for any other gun.
