For many years my favorite rifle was also my first centerefire rifle, a Herter's Model U-9 .30-06 that I later had re-chambered to .30 Gibbs. That rifle put A LOT of elk, moose, and other animals in my freezer and on my walls.
But the rifle that has put the most animals in my freezer, and probably on my walls is Mauser Mark X that I had chambered in .257 AI and that I stocked back in 1978.
However, my favorite rifle now is a .300 Weatherby Vanguard that a few years ago I put in Fancy Claro Walnut and checkered with my favorite multi-panel wrap around pattern. It's (I think) a beautiful rifle that shoots like a laser and hits like the Hammer of Thor.
