My youngest granddaughter shView attachment 1164330oot her fist competition on Saturday. Her 8th birthday. It was a local pin match and she actually won 2 matches.
Wow! Thats some nice looking wood!Mine now is the .500 S&W carbine by Big Horn Armor replacing my Henry 45/70 as my second favorite.

Could not agree more but accuracy in itself is self-defined. I have been able to get 3-inch groups at 100 yards with my .500 peep iron sites only with 350 and 450 grain 1/2" hole punchers. For me that is accurate.Only accurate rifles are interesting. For me, it’s a bolt gun. Nothing against the levers (have one), or the semi-autos (don’t have one), but let’s be honest with ourselves. We all like accurate rifles.

Just finished - well, almost finished - this .54 caliber flintlock kit today, and I figure it's going to be my favorite rifle for the foreseeable future.
Yep, that's the one.Kibler colonial?
Every time you show off your 270 I love the stainless and walnut contrast.Out of state son-in-law used my Rem factory Stainless 700 in .270 Win, after-market Timney trigger, adjusted for cold weather hunting, a little less than 3 lbs. It's action and a few inches of barrel are epoxy-bedded. About 10 years old, she shoots sub-MOA and has killed several Maine deer in the Central Maine area, where I live. Most have been on family property. I learned that scopes are at least as important as the rifle, so use mostly Leupolds. This is a 3-9X. The factory stock is well-figured, but not showy. My son-in-law shot a nice deer with it last year at about 100 yards down a woods road. He said that the rifle fired and he saw the bullet hit exactly where the crosshair was at 100 yards. I said, "Of course, where else would you expect it to hit? (You and I both know that our rifles are adjusted to hit about 1 1/2" high at 100 yards, but you can't tell "exactly" where the bullet hits when recovering from offhand-recoil. Still, it was surely, close to where it was sighted-in.) You may not remember my telling about shooting a running buck at 100+/_ yards, left-handed with this rifle...from my tree-stand a few years ago. It continues to please all who shoot it.

I had an AR-10 that was every bit as accurate as the Savage bolt gun that I traded for it. It shot .5 moa if I could do my job, both guns did.Only accurate rifles are interesting. For me, it’s a bolt gun. Nothing against the levers (have one), or the semi-autos (don’t have one), but let’s be honest with ourselves. We all like accurate rifles.
Sometimes the simplest of things can be the most cherished.I guess its as good as any to be a "favorite."
The first "real gun" I ever bought with my own money when I was old enough to buy a gun.
Bought it at J.C. Penney

Man if we could find a threaded 45 Colt lever action rifle at dealer pricing we'd try it out for the fun of it. 250gr at 800fps with a big suppressor would be sick. How do you like the Rossi?This was right after I got it but I’ve come to like this little .45 Rossi
Nah, those are fun little range plinkers. I liked the old stocks a lot more as they felt and handled like a stocked pistol. I wouldnt sell those.I like all my rifles. Hard to pick a favorite. My least favorite. Are my Hi-point carbines. Only reason i keep them. There is no resale value. And they might be handy for a SHTF. Situation. A lot of really nice looking guns above.
