Guns that are just plain fun to shoot

[rugerman]

It's a toss up between my 10/22 and my Marlin 1894 38/357.

henry 22
tc hawken
red ryder bb gun (I can throw small objects in the air and shoot them on the fly with this one).

 

[sappyg]

Ruger 10/22 and 22/45. That's straight up fun right there.

 

[Onmilo]

WhoMe, I so would like one of those Henry lever guns but have too many .22s now!

 

[CZ223]

I almost forgot

how much fun I had shootings my Uberti 73 in 45 Colt, Ruger Vaqueros in the same and a hammered double 12 guage filled with REAL black powder and belching fire and smoke. The only way to have more fun was to pull both triggers on the hammered double at the same time and double all the targets.

Love shooting my 10/22, but the little lever action Henry H001 is probably my favorite fun gun. Or should I say at least in 22caliber.

 

[WhoMe?]

WhoMe, I so would like one of those Henry lever guns but have too many .22s now!

I know what you mean. There probably exists a 22 rifle that is not fun to shoot but I haven't met it yet. It is very easy to turn around one day and realize you now have quite a brood of 22s in the safe. Oh well, I can think of worse problems to have...

No 1911s yet?

I agree on the Garands, by far my favorites.

I have a match conditioned 1911 that looks pretty GI stock on the outside and shoots fantastically. I had two range officers lurking behind me when I first got it back from the smith watching it chew up the center of a 25yd timed fire target one handed for a few magazines. That was fun.

I'll have to revisit this when my AR builds are done. I am warming up to the soulless black rifle that makes the "sproing" noise every shot as I put them together. First, I'll need a Dillon press to feed them to really enjoy them.

Pretty much every gun I've shot makes me smile, but only good ole Ma Deuce made me giggle and laugh like the Joker.

 

[Shienhausser]

I most enjoy my M1a or S&W 2.5" 66 with HOT .357.. Here's my wonderful girlfriend shooting her Valentines day present.... and no I didn't force her, she wanted it. I got lucky.

Definitely my DS ARMS SA58 Pistol. Absolutely love it

 

[alman]

My 1953 Marlin 39a . Ive been grinning ever since I found it Have not met a single person who didnt grin after running a mag through my S&W 15-22 .

Well, if you're into military surplus guns like I am (especially U.S. ones), then this one's really fun: The M1898 Springfield.. or, better known as the Krag rifle.

For me, this gun is more fun to shoot than my Garand or any other gun for that matter. I enjoy shooting this Krag the most because it makes the most out of the shooting experience. The side loading gate is very unique; you just throw five loose .30-40 rounds in the box and slap it shut. Then, when chambering the cartridge, you get to enjoy the smoothness of the single-lug bolt. If you ever get the opportunity to shoot a fine ole Krag like this, jump on it. It's not a gun for spewing out as many rounds as you can; it's a gun that makes you appreciate the history, the elegance, and ultimately the craftsman ship put into it.

That's why she is my favorite gun to shoot

 

[stubbicatt]

My CZ452 FS in 22 long rifle. It is just plain fun to shoot, and accurate to boot.

 

[1madss]

Marlin 1894c in 357, managed to win out over my 39a, I think it is the side gate loading.


1946 Winchester 62a, mostly because it was bought new and has hosted 4 generations of shooting in my family. But it handles and shoots oh so sweet.


As you can tell I'm a little old school.

 

[tactikel]

My Dixie Halfstock Target Rifle .45 cal circa 1969. Every time it goes "click-boom" I have a huge grin .

 

[M1GarandDeerHunter]

M1 Garand and offspring.

 

[ZGunner]

Right now my favorite is a newly acquired Lee-Enfield No. 4 Mk1. But after shooting that for a bit, switching to my CZ 452 in .17 HMR feels like I'm holding a Cricket 22.

 

[big boom]

Ruger single six. I don't know what specifically makes it so, but it is.

 

[Welding Rod]

M1 Garand or my M70 30-06 in a rapid fire stage of a match.

 

[Malamute]

Some of the best fun for me has been my old 1886 Winchester and Colt SAA in 44 spl when shooting black powder in them. I also had a Navy Arms 1866 copy in 22 cal that was a ton of fun to shoot. I foolishly traded all of them off in the past.

 

[jaytex1969]

My "Bubba'd when purchased" Polish M44 with a red dot is great fun. Rapid target acquisition and a nice kick.

Now that I've repaired my Ishapore 2A project, the Mosin has competition.

If you've not yet seen the 950jdj being fired, check it out:

Guess I can't complain about 7.62Nato prices....

 

[Arp32]

Garand, every time.

 

[CountGlockulla]

9mm AR

 

[OilyPablo]

My Marlin Camp 45 with standard loads at 100 yards, wait for it....THAWACK!

But load up a mag or two of +P 45ACP. What a hoot! (Anyone hunted with one?)
