Title: the funnest gun you own
Post by: tony04 on November 25, 2009, 08:53:32 PM
what the funnest gun you own? and why? mine i would have to say is a walther p22, because its dirt cheap to shoot for plinking, and i can also shoot grouse with it. which ive shot 7 with it. id like to get the longer barrel for it so its a little more accurate. anyway, im looking for some thing else that alot of fun to shoot.

i would have to say my R-15. its just a blast to shoot and wicked accurate. the fact that its the one i get to hunt with the most bieng mt coyote gun gives it a leg up on the fun department over the others i have

My slightly customized Ruger SS MKII Government Target pistols, Because at Bullseye tonight, I shot another Master score with one of them. I have other guns that I like a whole lot.. Just as much even, in my safe though.

Ruger 44 mag semi-auto carbine rifle.  Red Dot scope.  Steel Butt plate.  

It's small, compact and lays out one hell of a wallup.  It will put a pile of lead anywhere the Red Dot lands within 100 yards.  

I built it for close quarter Hog Hunting in Texas.  I Call It "HOG WILD"

I think my Marlin 45-70 Cowboy is my favorite. I hand load it and it's hot but I just like to shoot it. It will vaporize a 1 gallon jug at 100 yards. It's just fun a feels good when I toss it up. I am thinking about starting a lever gun collection someday.

Savage 93 .17hmr was a lot of fun last week on prairedogs. The scope is dialed in and I had them doing backflips out past 300 yards.

Of course the potato gun is one of the kids favorites

MY AR 15 or my Savage .223 ...hard to say...

I love the semi auto of the AR...

but that Savage...I think I would marry it, but it wont have me.  :'( :chuckle:

Gosh.. This is really tough.. Love my SS Kimber 1911.. And the Colt Diamond Back.. And my SBH. And my SSRH. And Mr. Lucky, a Marlin lever gun that's got 8 notches in the sling for deer kills.

All of my guns are FUN!

I like my 17 HMR. cheap and you can shoot all day long. My AR15s are fun but get expensive fast if you shoot a lot.
Title: Re: the funnest gun you own
Post by: PolarBear on November 25, 2009, 10:19:33 PM
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.
Title: Re: the funnest gun you own
Post by: Joe_Hunter on November 25, 2009, 10:28:47 PM
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.
Title: Re: the funnest gun you own
Post by: addicted on November 25, 2009, 11:43:56 PM
either my model 94 or my Nova. the 3.5 inch shells in the nova rock my front foot off the ground.

Post by: lokidog on November 25, 2009, 11:47:14 PM
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.
Title: Re: the funnest gun you own
Post by: phishisgroovin on November 26, 2009, 12:15:52 AM
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.

Would be either my R15 or M&P15-22 the M&Pis just fun to shoot and is real accuate to top it off.

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.

All around hunting rifle- 30.06
Title: Re: the funnest gun you own
Post by: yorketransport on November 26, 2009, 07:58:45 AM
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.

Post by: sporked horn on November 26, 2009, 08:26:51 AM
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.

H7R 20 ga, I have had it now for almost 30 years, it was my first gun, and will be passed down to my baby girl when she is ready, have not shot it in almost 20 years so will have it all gone through before it is handed down..

270 Allen Mag.  Shoots .5 moa all day long.....gallon jugs of water at 1130 yards, now that's fun, I don't care who ya are!

Post by: timberghost72 on November 26, 2009, 08:56:16 AM
I'd have to say my Bushy AR-15. Now i want the R-15.  As for  a pistol it's a toss up between the Kimber Stainless .45 and my Ruger Blackhawk .357.   Starting to really like the wheel gun.
Title: Re: the funnest gun you own
Post by: Straight Shooter on November 26, 2009, 12:18:19 PM
My DPMS ARs.  Especially, my Lo Pro heavy-barreled varminter w/Timney trigger... never a hicup and 1-hole groups all day.

Of course the potato gun is one of the kids favorites
saw the new mini-marshmallow gun advertised & will pick one up on black friday.

Winchester model 70 customized for me, just fits so well, shoots great.......like many others though. which ever gun I have in my hand at the moment

My kids have the mini marshmallow guns, they are fun until you start finding marshmallows in every nook and cranny of every piece of furniture.

My mini-14 ranch rifle.  That rifle was flat out the funnest to shoot.

Gonna get another soon, and send it off for accurizing.

It's a toss up between my Rem Sendero in .220 Swift and my Ruger MKII Hunter. Both are a blast to shoot.

Post by: dontgetcrabs on November 28, 2009, 04:31:39 PM
I love every gun and everyone is fun to shoot, but if I had to pick it would be the Colt AR-15.  :)
Title: Re: the funnest gun you own
Post by: yorketransport on November 28, 2009, 08:40:45 PM
I do have to agree with everyone on the AR-15s. I had one for a while and they are definitely fun. That is until you have to reload the magazines. :'( 15 seconds to empty a 30rd magazine, 15 minutes to load. :chuckle:
Title: Re: the funnest gun you own
Post by: KLRKeith on November 29, 2009, 07:06:04 PM
My Lyman GPR in .54cal is a blast..but right now it's a toss up between my Savage in .17hmr and my Mossberg 500 in the mariner finish.  I shoot the .17hmr a lot more because it's pretty cheap.  I also have several .22's that I enjoy; Buckmark, and a 77/22.

Ok only one?  then the .17HMR
Title: Re: the funnest gun you own
Post by: jeffro on November 29, 2009, 07:39:45 PM
heres my  :twocents:
for fun factor, its a toss up between the tactical shotgun(berretta 1201fp),otherwise known as the swiss cheese machine, and the AR(bushmaster XM15). :mgun:
to make things blow up or die, the desert eagle 44 or my 300 win mag. :hunter:
but I think its fun to shoot them all. :)

I recently received a model 1873 winchester lever action in 38/40 caliber (first winchester center fire rifle made) in excellent condition. Got it from my grandpa. I had to shoot it at least once and it is cool. To bad its so old just something i dont want to shoot around with. Makes me want to get a newer lever action to shoot like a 300 savage!

I would have to say that my stevens 22-250 has got to be the funnest gun I have ever owned. Next up would be my good old 300 win mag savage. Both put a hole just where I want.

Make that three.  .22 over 20ga. shot my first duck with it! A redhead hen.  The only down side is the weight.

I dont know if it is a savage though, it is an old gun that was given to me a long time ago.

Post by: Stevo539 on November 30, 2009, 07:59:26 PM
Long gun;  M1 Garand
it has the feel, the accuracy, the history and can lay down some heavy lead.
Handgun;  Walther PPK
With reloads and home cast bullets i can blast away all day for pennies per shot, well built and accurate.
