What is you "Fun" gun choice?

[jlmwrite]

Running my S&W 460 with .45 Colts. Finding someplace I can shoot my Barrett M107A1. Verifying zero on my Browning Hell's Canyon and retrieving a 100 yard target with one ragged hole. Every ping from emptying the clip in either of my M1 Garands. The way my Ed Brown Kobra Carry sits in my hand and never moves. Too many to list, but those came to mind immediately.

2016 R700 SPS with a fluted CDL brrl in 7-08 with 130g Lee,Redfield 4-12. Has for me just the right amt of uuumph shooting starting JB load of Varget.

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.

Lol I want to get a Franklin Armory trigger for dads 10/22 takedown so bad. I have a SilencerCo Sparrow that I could use on it and I bet it would be hilariously fun.

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.

My CZ 457 pro varmint with my SilencerCo Sparrow is stupid fun to just plink a bunch of 40gr CCI standard velocity ammo! Quiet as a pellet rifle! So you can shoot it without ear protection and actually have a conversation with your dad and friends while shooting it.

 

[45/30-06OKIE]

Ok I'll add a meaningful post to this thread finally...
My 1944 Springfield Armory M1 Garand in 30-06! It's such a blast to just dump a few clips as rapidly as possible and shout "Take This, Nazi Scum!" whilst doing said clip dumps. Fills me with a sense of patriotism lol. Also whenever I watch Band of Brothers I have my M1 out the whole time, unloaded of course, lol.

Like jmr40 said, most of my top fun guns would probably be .22 LR, but here's one that isn't. I love to find any excuse to get it out and shoot, most commonly clay targets.

1954 Browning Auto 5


If the setting is right, these are two of my most fun .22 LR rifles because they are a joy to operate and shoot with their slick actions and excellent trigger (aftermarket trigger on the 52B), they are super accurate, and the long barrels are very quiet with SV target ammo. No ear protection needed, which at least doubles the enjoyment when shooting on a private location without other shooters around.

1938 model Winchester 52B


1958 BRNO Model 4


Most fun handgun of any caliber: Browning International Medalist

 

[Ignition Override]

PTR-91, clone of the German HK-91 ("G3" NATO). 980 rounds so far, since bought nib, zero issue. The gun was nib in May 2022.

My "Classic GI" (depicted here) has no rail, whereas the "GIR" has the same 18" barrel plus the factory rail. "R" = rail.

These certainly don't have the better ergos of an FAL or AR,, but they do have Character--and even the women in military branches of Europe (Germany, Nor., Sw., Lith., Port.) etc were able to deal with the awkward ergos of G3 rifles. European Women probably complain less about them than American men.

My fun gun choice would be my Romanian M69 .22lr. It looks crude, cost me 69 dollars and is cheap to shoot. I like shooting pieces of clay pigeons at 100 yards and my record is 200 yards open sight. I guess where the reat sight should line up on the barrel and put my front sights under the target (unless there's wind). If I could go hiking, I'd take that and shoot at every elevation and distance I can find.

I recently ran into a very frustrating financial situation that meant I had to (and may have to some more) liquidate some of my gun collection to keep my house. I had a hard time selling some of those that left due to the sheer enjoyment they bring me to shoot and handle. But the last one I'd ever sell is my cz527 in 7.62x39. it is just gorgeous, handles like a dream, and it's accuracy is almost unbelievable. It brings me joy every time I pick it up, more than I thought any single physical thing could do. That's not my only fun gun, but for me, that gun is the "funnest".

 

[Varminterror]

Ruger 10/22 Chargers. When I have a day to just enjoy shooting, I can't think of anything I enjoy more than putting 200-300yrds, or more air under a 22LR bullet from a specialty pistol. Cheap, quiet, low recoil, and ridiculously satisfying.

 

[BWS]

adcoch, I hear you on the CZ....

Got a peachy 527 LUX in 223,no scope that too,would be one of the very last to go. I've been slowly(but surely) passing our rigs to 4 grown sons. Take care,BW

 

[someguy2800]

Most of my guns are just fun guns, but I would say my stevens favorite single shot in 22 mag, or my 7.62x39 ar15.

 

[bbqncigars]

The Ruger 22/45 Lite that is almost always in the range bag wearing either the Hydra SS or Q Erector can.

 

[Jimster]

Toss up. Uberti 1860 Henry or Pedersoli Sharps.

 

[Ethan Verity]

My S&W Model 29 and Henry 3030BWL!

 

[Rodfac]

This is a Marlin 39 Century Limited; produced only in 1970. It's a keeper in all respects. Rod

[Dr T]

My CZ452FS and my titanium 22lr Kit Gun J frame with 3" barrel and adjustable sights. A close runner up is my Ruger Bisley in 44mag with a 3 1/2" barrel.

 

[DukeConnor]

Pedersoli Mississippi rolling block in 45 colt. I've been getting into single shot rifles and this is my favorite.

 

[Armored farmer]

When I want fun guns I go to my black powder collection.
Particularly these days is my .45 flinter. It takes a little bit of extra care to get it to go bang. I love the history and the old, true ways.

 

[Barnfixer]

My current grab for a walk in the woods favorite is my SA22. It’s small and light and you can grab around the scope and receiver for quick carry.

My current grab for a walk in the woods favorite is my SA22. It’s small and light and you can grab around the scope and receiver for quick carry.

I agree the little SA-22 is a fun gun. I like the slightly darker wood on yours. My 1970 model has very light walnut, and it'd "bothered" me for years -- just too butterscotch-looking in person to suit me. I'm currently in the process of refinishing the stock and forearm using some Alkanet root dye to darken it and help bring out the grain feature. We'll see how it turns out, but I think I'll like it better.
Originally it looked like the forearm in this photo (the stock is catching light differently here and looks darker to the camera than in person):

 

[bannockburn]

Seeing as this is the Rifle forum l will list my favorite rimfire, centerfire, and black powder long guns.

Rimfire
1) Ruger 10/22


Centerfire
1) Rossi M92
2) Colt SP1 AR-15




Black powder
1) Traditions Hawken style .50 caliber


All of these guns are fun to take to the range and accurate enough to make the whole day very enjoyable and great fun!

 

[GunnyUSMC]

Here’s one of my fun guns.
It’s my 458 SOCOM AR that I built.
The muzzle brake is the custom prototype, designed and manufactured by my friend at Aklys Defense, which was named after me.
It makes shooting 405gr Bullets fun.

 

[NMachine]

My biggest smile generating rifle would have to be my Remington Model 81 chambered in 35 Rem. That big ol heavy spring shrouded barrel thumping back and forth, along with the nostalgic rememberings of the old timers at deer camp carrying them does it for me.

Rifle: 20" Ar15 I built.
