If you had to pick the five top factory HUNTING rifles made TODAY, how would you rank them -- and why? That's the sole criteria for this little poll. Otherwise, it's wide open. Let's hear 'em...
If you're fixin' to put a hole in something,
make it a hole to remember.

The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time by the blood of patriots and tyrants.
If being stupid allows me to believe in Him, I'd wish to be a retard. Eisenhower and G Washington should be good company.

"Best" is relative to how and what you hunt. Of course. And that's the challenge -- list top five based only the given criteria.
