Ruger M77 tangers. There may be better rifles out there, but these are my sentimental favorites. Have been since I bought my first one in '78.

I enjoy shooting the most?
Tikka t1x and my old 94 30-30. My little Stevens Favorite may edge them out, but it’s not quite “factory” as 32 rimfire was hard to come by.
I hunt an old m70 in a McM Compact Edge more than any other rifle, but the aforementioned are way more fun to shoot and it ain’t factory either.

Ping pong balls for the win. Once you've wrestled everything else in life is easy. Dan Gable I keep my circle small, I’d rather have 4 quarters than 100 pennies.
Ain’t easy havin pals.

Love Mausers, but the one I carried for the most years and never let me down was a standard pre-64 .270. Everything just worked well on that. Don' want to tote that much around anymore, but they are wonderful hunting rifles, if flawed in some ways for other uses. That one is still soldiering on for my son.
What fresh Hell is this?

Early model 70 XTR in .243. Killed countless coyotes. Same in a 7mag for elk and mule Deer. Gifted those away. Now Tikka T3's. I've bought 8 and every one is a smooth tack driver.

Good question...I have loved many of the 75 or so bolt action rifles i have owned over the past 35 years but as of now I probly like a Kimber Subalpine or Montana as good or better than any rifle i have ever owned.......I can think of Many honorable mentions including the Remington 700 Mountain rifle and Alaskan Ti..I never had one that was super accurate but I also loved my Ruger 77 MkII Ultralights, Hawkeye Ultralights and Weatherby Mark V Ultralights......Hb

Heavy Barrel Savage 110 chambered .223 Rem. With a cheap Simmons 6x20 scope on top. Would shoot five shot groups in the .3's and .4's all day long with handloads. Wife shot one five shot group in the .2's. Basically a rectangle with rounded corners. Didn't like the tupperware stock and sold it... Doh...
