so many to choose from.......
I like my 257 weatherby mag for deer and antelope.
I like my TC 50 cal.
and I really like my 300 win mag.
so it all depends on what I'm hunting

But the one I like the most and is an absolute blast to shoot in my TC 50 cal. :hunt2:

I have an old Hopkins and Allen 12 ga. double side by side with hammers and a 20" barrel. I've had it for about 25 years and it's fun as hell to shoot. When I bought it I didn't know crap about the Hopkins and Allen Arms Company. Found out they were bought out by Marlin in 1917. I think the manufacture date of the shotgun is 1911. Great cond. and I think I paid 210.00 for it. Love that gun.....true scatter gun.

I like my Savage FVT (target model with peeps) 22lr that is in perpetual upgrade mode and my 10/22 converted to 17HM2 with a red dot. Both are stupid accurate and both are equally fun for totally different reasons. Like owning a 4WD off roader and an oval track car.

either my model 94 or my Nova. the 3.5 inch shells in the nova rock my front foot off the ground.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.

M-1 Carbine, lots of fun, relatively cheap to shoot, pretty accurate, and a gift from my wife's grandmother.  Wish I could go shoot it more or hunt something with it.

i love all my guns equally.  :rolleyes:

I like my .22's for more fun and a better challenge on long shots when i go camping, but its hard to beat the fun of shooting an old war relic and hitting a milk jug 500 yards away with 50+ year old ammo.
TANNERITE needed for target practice on opening day of each hunting season.

I no longer own them but I had an H&K 94 and 91 that were a lot of fun.  The "funnest" had to be the semi auto German MP-40 that I had in high school.

man why would you get rid of those  :yike: i love those things

This is a hard question to answer. My 300 RUM is alot of fun to shoot rocks at long distance with. Plinking with a 10-22 is cheap and fun. 50gr V-max's at 3900FPS out of my 22-250 makes for some red mist when shooting small critters. I'm going to have to vote for a CF .22 ,shooting ground squirls. its so much fun that it feels like it should be against the law.

Just before the ban years ago I sold them for five times what I payed for them and bought a bunch of other guns.

That's probably going to be the Ruger MKIII Hunter. It just shoots so well that I don't want to put it down. Second in line is the 45-70 BFR with 440gr LBTs at 1600fps. That's really only fun for about 5 shots though. :chuckle:

Spent a lot of time with my Baretta BM 59 when I was a teenager. Lots of fun shooting and reloading. Wish I still had it too. It was one of only 200 in the states.
22LR is lots of fun. 22WMR is even more fun. Probably get even more fun from a bow and arrow. Less noise and more rewarding at times.

It's pretty cool how one gun will just fit a person and not another.  My fave would have to be my M1 Garand and my Springfield M1-A, there's just a feeling to them, the're solid ya know and there's history to them.  But there are so many guns that each time you shoot your like, hey that's why I bought that.
