What is the most Patriotic/American gun, to you???

[Pathfinder101]

Way more 870's sold(about 13million) than 94's if your number is correct. I think I'd choose the 1911 for cartridge development, machining, design longevity, and use across the world it is sort of a symbol of America. Lots of good ideas tho.

But the Rem 870 isn't just a sporting firearm.  Many of those are govt issue for police and military.  According to the NRA, the Winchester Model 94 is the "most popular sporting arm of all time". 
But.. now that you mention it, I own 2 Remington 870s and only 1 Winchester 94...

The Winchester Model 94- John Moses Browning’s version of the Winchester 73; the most prolific rifle ever made

What?

Yes.  John Moses Browning was a young gun designer that went to work for Winchester when he was in his 20s (in the 1870s).  He had been tinkering with the Winchester 73 for years and kept improving it over and over (the '85 Winchester, the 86 Winchester, the 87 Winchester).  In 1894 he finally got it just the way he wanted it.  And that's pretty much the way it has stayed since 1894.  The 1894 Winchester lever action rifle has sold over 7 million rifles to date.  More than any other sporting arm in history, making it the "most prolific".

Well... That's one way to look at it I suppose. Yes, he did design a lot of guns for Winchester but none of those are based on the '73 or '76 toggle link actions. The '85 is a single shot and was produced by Browning before he even partnered with Winchester though they began producing it after their partnership. The '86 he'd already had mostly designed before the partnership, upon their initial meeting (over the '85) they also secured the rights to the '86. The '87 shotgun was a design JMB didn't even want to do, the tried to get Winchester to go with a pump design to keep up with what other companies were already brining to market but they wanted to stay with levers. It's more of a rolling block design than anything. You left out the '92 action which was a scaled down '86 for pistol calibers (to replace the '73). The 94 was a different design that all those already listed being of approximately the same size of the '92 but able to handle longer cartridges as it is a very different action internally. Then of course he finally designed the '95 for Winchester to handle rounds like the .30-40 Krag. But other than being lever actions none of those are based on the '73 toggle link action.

'Merica isn't about caliber or your favorite manufacturer.  It's all about attitude.

1911 for most American, Kentucky rifle for most Patriotic.

Anything in .30-06!
Lot of history there, plus it's a darn good cartridge for hunting anything in the USA.

I love the 06

No love for the Ruger 10/22? 

The most patriotic gun to me is the one that I use to protect my house.  Ruger American bolt in 22WMR.  Followed closely by my big-critter-gun, Savage 16 LWH in 7mm-08. 

[Alpine Mojo]

10/22 is good.  You can count me in.

I love the 06

Have to agree my friend! Soo many flavor of the day, jump on the bandwagon options out there. .you don't need a 7mm whizbang, Creedmore anything, Badger anything to put meat on the table any better then the good ole 30/06! Killed more game with this "vanilla" caliber then all others combined! My son has an old m77 '06 I handed down to him, that has accounted for more bear, deer, and elk then most will see in a lifetime lol!. But hey, we're just a couple of longbow shooters, so what do we know👍

To me.....

Modern - AR15
Historically - Winchester 1894

100% agree for sooooo many reasons.

#because THEY the un American'a keep trying to take it away. 

[Biggerhammer]

Wow! Some have preached the .270 Win & the Jack O’Connor clown for years. Guess Jack gets tossed under the buss for the 06. Even Jack’s wife had more sense than him. She shot the classy 7x57.

+1 for the Winchester 1894
The .30-30 is right up there with the .30-06, the .45 Colt, and Apple Pie!
