Mine now is the .500 S&W carbine by Big Horn Armor replacing my Henry 45/70 as my second favorite.
What is your favorite rifle?

Big spender! I am jealous. Thought long and hard about getting one as a companion to my revolver, but finally decided I just couldn't justify the expense.

I don’t have a picture of it - I stink at photography - but it is a 1938 Remington Model 30 Express .30-06. I need to take a picture of it someday.

All of them, every time I use one I haven't for a while I remember why I liked it then and why I like it now.

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.

Howdy Troy: The JP has been fantastic. Still no problems with setting or mounting screws backing out or tension loss. No build up issues. Very happy with it. IT's taken quiet a few knocks and stood strong. (Old man stumbles in the wood). The Faxon is the 18" heavy contour match series. I use it for GP recreational shooting and hunting. Great weight and service so far. IT is NOT a BR capable barrel but a very very good hunting one.

My 30-06 rolling block that I made myself out of a block of 4140. I made everything but the screws, springs and the barrel. Took me seven years, an hour here and an hour there, after work. Professionally heat treated to RC 40. Proofed with a German 7.62X63 proof round that developed around 80,000 PSI. Rust blued it myself. As an edit two days after the post: The butt stock looks out of proportion because of the camera angle.

Considering sending it back to them for a Criterion .308 barrel- but its a laser now with the 2-groove Remington tube and Im afraid the magic will be lost.....

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.

Easy answer my savage model 10 fcp-sr Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor it made me fall in love with rifle shooting and as @Anchorite said in his quote “only accurate rifles are interesting” old Townsend got that right!

No, and I barely made the rifle.
It's a Kibler kit that was the easiest thing in the world to put together. I am responsible for applying finish to the wood and metal, and that's it. As for the bag and sock, well, I'm glad to be able to support independent craftsmen.
Cheers from one owner of a pretty rifle to another!
