I happen to like my M1 Garand the most. I have killed several deer with it, keep it clean and oiled, and treat it like its made of solid gold

Due to the sentimental value alone. I have hunted all over western Canada with that gun and shot many moose, deer, a few elk,a few bear and 1 mountain goat. It is old and beat up cosmetically, but it is still a good and accurate gun that has been mountain high and valley low. Every scratch remindes me of a good memory or friend that hunted with me ( some that are unforttunatly no longer with me ). I own more expensive hunting rifles, but the ol' 7mm for sentimental is my fave.

What's the best you've owned?

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses

Mossbergs are probably the most reliable weapon on the planet. I've owned and own at least 4 of them in my life time and shot them alot, i mean hundreds of rounds through them all and not one failure of any kind with any of them. I'm looking to buy another one soon this week or next, the tactical crusier, ooooh... has any body seen the new road blocker, it has a muzzel/comp as of a barret 50 cal. cool as hell and wicked looking to. wait i'll load it up to the site.

.45 SLC 1873 Colt SAA with no serial numbers on it. It was an heirloom, my great grandaddy got it just after the civil war. But some bastard stole it and if I ever find it, I will kill him with my bare hands.

My 10/22 has thousands upon thousands of rounds through it and has been used to take a ridiculous number of squirrel and rabbit. I used to clean the guns of my dad's friends in exchange for a 550 rd box of .22 ammo for each gun cleaned and most of the money I made working at Waffle House went on feeding my car, my SKS, or my 10/22. That rifle is great.

When I was a kid I peeled a log truck full of logs, it took two weeks. As payment I got my first gun it was a lever action single shot Ithaca .22. I do not know how many grouse and deer I got with that thing but it was alot. I grew up poor so the ammo being cheap, and gun queit and deadly accurate it was perfect. I out grew the rifle when I was twelve or thirteen and I handed it down to another little kid thats family did not have much. This kid went on to be one heck of a good hunter.

all of you put up such good stories and/or good guns. Makes me think of home and my closet full of guns. I have to say though, growing up I always dreamed of the day my dad would let me take out his Sears and Roebuck .30-30. When that day finally came, it was the happiest moment of my life...until another certain moment heh heh. But to this day I still love that old lever action.

I love my 9mm AR-15. I just love the platform. It eats whitebox 9mm walmart ammo with no problems. I have it accurate to 100 yards.
My favorite handgun is debatable. The walther P99 is sweet but a carry a PPS..
