What is you "Fun" gun choice?

[viking499]

Do you have a "Fun" gun? A gun that you maybe don't shoot all the time, might not make it in the vehicle everytime you go to the range, or the one you grab when you see that varmint or paper/steel bullseye, but whenever you fire it, it puts a smile on your face.

Center-fire or rimfire? Or......is there one of each?

My fun guns are my 1911's (although I do use a 1911 for carry) and my M1A. These are not for shooting game like all of my others.

If you see me shooting and I don't have a smile on my ugly face, then something is seriously wrong.

H&K MP5 .22LR

 

[GunnyUSMC]

I’ve got more than I can list.

Used to be my heavy recoil guns, but they are all gone now. I need to replace one but haven’t done so. Maybe a big fat contender barrel. 45-70 has always seemed to be the perfect level of ridiculous for a hand cannon.

 

[CoalCrackerAl]

I have fun shooting all my guns. I like to rotate what i take out.

 

[earlthegoat2]

Definitely my Remington 597 Magnum. Always hits where I aim and isn’t “just a 22”.

I kitted it up nicely with some Volquartsen parts and a Leupold 2-7x33.

I don’t always bring it along but it is my “ranch rifle” and usually have it while tromping the property.

 

[NIGHTLORD40K]

My 1st Gen Universal, not big $$$ like a GI gun, but outshoots my '43 Inland. Laser accurate and reliable, no significant recoil. They let me shoot it on the pistol lanes, brings a smile to the face of everyone who tries it.

My Henry H001 is the most fun firearm I own.

 

[berettaprofessor]

I thought it was my S&W MP 15-22. Until I bought a Ruger 10-22 Charger, added an SB-mini folding brace and a Franklin Binary trigger. Now that's fun with a capital F.

I'll bet that burns through the ammo

 

[EIB0879]

My Ruger Redhawk .41 Mag. With 7 1/2" bbl shooting cowboy action loads.

 

[21H40]

Mine is an old Mauser that has been converted into the hard hitting 45 ACP!
It is like a 22, but twice as fun

 

[sparkyv]

This CZ455 Scout. It now sits in a Rustic Trainer stock, wears a swap meet Leupold VX3 1.5-5x20 scope in Warne QD rings so I can quickly swap to the sights, and has a sweet DIY trigger spring job including YoDave shims. It rings the siluetas offhand all day long with CCI SV. So fun, this less expensive 22LR compact rifle always puts a smile on my face.

It's probably not what you meant by "fun" gun, but my most "fun" gun is my Model 55 Winchester .22 (S, L, or LR) single-shot automatic. My Mom and Dad gave it to me for my 10th birthday - 65+ years ago.
It still looks and works great, it's as accurate as it ever was (it's no tack-driver, but it's accurate enough for tin cans, jack rabbits and ground squirrels if they're close enough) and it still puts a great big smile on my face whenever I take it out and shoot it - just like it did the first time.
Actually though, there is one thing better about shooting my Model 55 nowadays than what shooting it was like for me 65 years ago. The ejected shell cases drop out of the bottom of the stock - right where I placed my left hand when I was 10. And those just-fired .22 shell cases are hot! I had an almost permanent blister in the palm of my left hand until I grew taller and got longer arms to match.

 

[Throwbackguy]

Hands-down, all-time faves are my leverguns. In any caliber.

Whenever I bring ‘em with friends, they ALL try ‘em. And smile every time they cycle the action. I swear, every time I go, I tell myself THIS’LL be the day I start making ‘em pay for my ammo! (And then we all go laughing it off.)

p.s. My cop friends are the WORST offenders… just sayin’.

 

[mrcabinet]

As others have said, they're all fun or we wouldn't have them, right? The two that always make me giggle like a little girl are complete opposites though - a Winchester mdl. 90 .22 pump and a 7 1/2" Ruger Redhawk .44 mag.

 

[horsemen61]

My 6.5 Creedmoor SUPPRESSED!

 

[WestKentucky]

Hmm… no quote.

@kidneyboy said his h001…

Mine was too until it wasn’t anymore. Shooting yourself in the foot with it kinda does that. Purely my fault, but the design kinda lends itself to NDs in anything other than a range situation. No safety, small hammer spur, just not a good combination when you’re focusing on where the stupid squirrel went and maneuvering around trying to get a shot. Thumb slipped off of the hammer and it suddenly became a bad day. I was lucky though, the bullet went between my big toe and the toe next to it. Only lost a sock, a boot, a buttstock, and a whole lot of pride. Powder burns were pretty rough even through the boot, which I was somewhat surprised about. Don’t be me. All my guns now have safeties with exception only for revolvers.

 

[GooseGestapo]

Marlin Model 39D
With shorts, load on Sunday, shoot all week! Holds 26!

 

[Deus Machina]

Well, kind of depends. If I want to show off, it's my scoped Savage Mark 2. Cheap scope on the cheap model, with the cheap super-stiff Wal-Mart model trigger. I'm just used to it.
I have two boxes of cheap rounds it loves set aside. 50 yards, I put crosshairs where I want a hole to appear, and then it does. It's so accurate it actually gets boring after a while.

If I want to actually pay attention and get a giggle, it's my Mosin Nagant. Grabs attention, I don't have to concern myself with being gentle, and surprises all the young'ns on what 'grampa guns' previous generations had to fight with.

 

[JB111]

I have a fondness for heavy recoil large caliber handguns. Everything from .44 magnum up to .500 S&W. I don't use them as carry guns(although I have carried one of my Desert Eagles a time or two, open and concealed) and when I did hunt, I never used a handgun, so really they are my fun guns. I have always been a recoil junkie. I am currently debating on rather or not to track down a BFR and have it converted to .500 Bushwhacker.
