My favorite odd ball firearm is...

[BigGoonTuna]

late father in law's remington 760.  it was gifted to me along with the rest of his guns after my mother in law moved here from chewelah.  serial number in the 4000 range, so it would have been in the first run of those that they made i think.  was set up for a peep site(judging by the boogered up screw holes in the receiver), then later drilled and tapped for a scope.  the bolt face has tool marks on it and i think the chamber isn't quite round.  one of the hardest kicking, most unpleasant guns i've ever fired, with the narrow butt stock and serrated aluminum butt plate, i can take about 5 rounds before i get a good welt on my shoulder.

that thing is beat pretty good, but the stories it could tell if it could talk...

One of my favorite coyote hunting guns, a BRNO O/U combo gun made in the 1960's.  I have it set up with a Leupold VxII 1-4x20 in the original quick detachable mount.  It is a 22 Savage Highpower(5.6x52R) an old cartridge from the early 1900's, basically a 30-30 necked to .228, with 55gr Buffalo arms .228 bullets it will still shoot sub MOA groups to 200 yards.  I took one coyote at 170 last week with the rifle and another with the 12 gauge barrel loaded with 1 1/4oz of F's.

I've only had it a year or two now, but my favorite "oddball" gun would be my Husqvarna 30/06, made in 1951. Built in Sweden on a Mauser 98 action, and it shoots great. I recently had a Timney trigger installed and I mounted a Burris Fullfield II 3-9x40 in Talley lightweight rings. It's a especially meaningful to me because it's from Sweden, and my grandfather was actually from Sweden, migrated over to the U.S. with his parents when he was a young boy. So I'm 1/4 Swedish, we have ancestors in Sweden still, with the same last name, so it's pretty cool to me to have a rifle from there that's nearly 70 years old, and it's better quality than the majority of rifles that are made today. Also I have a riding lawnmower that's made by the same company.

My favorite one is a Browning Citori I haven't bought yet.

I suppose if I had to be serious I'd pick a sporterized 30/40 Krag I've had for years.  My dad got it in trade for a muzzle loader and then chopped 6-7 inches off the barrel.  I heard it had a rough spot in it that was removed.  Shot my first deer with it.  It's sort of neat how it's loaded.  Flip a side "flap" down, throw in shells and close the flap.

My favorite oddball is a Savage 101 handgun. It is a 22lr single-shot that looks like a revolver but is a single-shot, the cylinder & barrel is all one piece and pushes out to the right side to load & unload. Elvis Presley had one.
It is a very accurate gun for a cheap side of the handgun market.

Another oddball handgun is my Sheridan Knockabout 22lr single shot. I bought it about a year a go at a pawn shop. It's the only real gun that Sheridan air rifle company made. They ran this production for about two years. and it's a real oddball and is fun to shoot.

Cool. I have a Husqvarna 7MM mag. It's a nice shooting rifle. I bought it from my brother. Not sure how old it is or anything. I wonder how if they still make guns. I own A Husky mower, weed eater, and chain saw. They make good stuff.

Husqvarna quit making firearms about 1970 I think. I have a link to a list of serial numbers I will send you so you can look up the year your rifle was made.

Not really my favorite, but it sure has my respect, it has takes a licking and keeps on ticking.

1962 Remington Sportsman 48, 16 ga semi-auto, 2 3/4 in, 26 in barrel "full choke" short barrel.
My dad gave this shotgun to me on my first chukar hunt.
It has been "accidentally" dropped in Hood Canal in January. Spent 20 years as a closet queen. Did a tour rattling around behind the seat on my old Silverado.
Has never misfired or had a mechanical problem.
Now graces a place of honor, kept clean and lubed, fully loaded alternated 00 buck and slugs, in a quick to reach SHTF location.

Ugly, scratched and pitted, but I would bet my life on it.

My grandfather used one of those for his entire life, hundreds of pheasants and ducks.  Still runs like a boss.  Not sure on the manufacture date but from the stories i remember, he either got it out of highschool or right after he got out of the service.. he just turned 95 last weekend and it still resides next to his bed incase his golf club doesnt work on em'.

interesting thing about husky, they still pay homage to their past with their logo, the "H" with the front winged rifle sight on top.

It's not all that odd but i really like my CVA scout II pistol in 300blk with a threaded barrel.I have only seen one other one in person and that was a .243 at Bass Pro.

@Superdown that looks like a hoot!

I have one of these as well, inherited from the FIL.  As well as a top break, .38 S&W revolver with the gaudiest faux mother of pearl grips ever.

Yeah that is pretty cool, never seen one before.

It would be sweet with the front half of that barrel turned into an integral suppressor.
