Kimber Classic Select in 257 Roberts, or as Mule Deer calls it, the Ultimate Bob.
Why? Because it is the second most gorgeous thing in my house...

Marlin 336 30-30 lever action made in 1953. Grandpa's gun so it is a sentimental favorite. I have several bolt guns but nothing seems to handle and carry like my Marlin. It leaves the safe more often than not. Shoots fantastic with Leverevolution ammo!

The $49.00 turkish mauser my wife bought me a few years back, I sporterized it(some would say bubba'd) I shot my first elk with this rifle last year. It's definitely a favorite

What a torturous question!

It's a tie between my Kimber Montana in 308 and a Kimber 8400 300 wsm in french walnut. But if pushed to pick, I think I'd take the montana.

Don't know if I have a favorite, I have a few real good guns, I probably like my Rem 700 LH 264 WM with it's Mcmillan Edge stock which fits me great and my LH CZ 452 22 LR the best.

Favourite rifle? My 1960 Marlin 39A Mountie with an equally old Redfield 70 series receiver sight and sourdough insert.
Favourite centerfire? My old pre-64 M70 fwt 30-06 that Greydog restocked for me a while back.
Anybody who seriously concerns themselves with the adequacy of a Big 7mm for anything we hunt here short of brown bear, is a dufus. They are mostly making shidt up. Crunch! Nite-nite!

I guess I'm fickle. It's which ever one I'm holding/fondling when you ask.
He who joyfully marches in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would suffice.

Sako Deluxe LH 375H&H Leupold 1.5x5 VariXIII
Had it for 12+ years and only hunted with it twice. A cape Buffalo hunt is what it was purchased for and I'm still hoping to do it. A PA buck is a far cry from Black Death!

What a torturous question! Agreed. All the better to keep us entertained for a day or two. I have more, but I'll wait until this thread runs out.
