No overall preference. I do like M98 and 77s tho. For specific purposes/ what I want to use on a particular day/ it might be M94, 98, 725, 700, 70, or 77. I don't own any of the others, tho...... only those. . Oh yeah, there's also the POS Rem 780 or whatever that thing is. Felt obligated to buy it (long story), but haven't messed with it enough to develop a feel for it yet. Seems to shoot ok tho. 770 - my bad

Mainly Ruger and Remington bolt guns I’ve accumulated over the years. If I had to start over today, I’d likely begin with an SS Tikka or Sako for out-of-the-box performance.
Now with even more aplomb

I have never been brand sensitive but the ones that really have rung my bell are:
Sako Finnwolf 243, to me it was perfect until I broke it beyond repair.
Marlin Guide Gun 45/70, w/ ghost ring sights it is my favorite go for a walk rifle.
Tikka T3 lite 308 w SS 3-9 HD scope, my go everywhere truck gun.
Daniel Defense mid length 16" AR 5.56. Indestructible, so far.

In the order I remember them…..
Barrett FC FN 98 Ruger Hawkeye Howa CZ (RF) M70 CRF Browning 1885
If I don’t like them, they go away. These are staying. I like two-lug Sakos, but don’t have any now. Fine rifles though.

For local hunting, my preference is a Remington 7600. I've grown to like my Tikka, but honestly think the Sig Cross is going to overtake it this year.

Kinda of depends on the platform.
Bolt action, Remington Model 700’s in multiple calibers. Lever actions, JM Marlins 336/94/95s (been wanting ones in 38-55 and 35 Remington) 22’s, most used is my Ruger 10-22, but I also have an old one with a tube magazine. Autos are all over the place. Depends on the caliber and usage.
I like a Mauser or Mauser action if I could find a affordable one that wasn’t crap/ way over priced. Last time I went to the gun show, it was both. Some guy at a table with a Duba-duba 2 bring back that looked like some one had used as a trunk gun. Dude wanted $1000 for it. “I know whut I got.” I just walked off.

Tikka - favorite for several reasons. First is accuracy. Second is they fit me well. Steyr - I know they’re ugly. But, they’re crazy accurate. Remington 700 LSS - that’s how a rifle should look.
I like Browning BAR also. An automatic in a magnum round makes me smile.

The list of rifles I won't own is short.
My top choice is Savage.
The thing I like about Remington is all the aftermarket parts and clones. I can build one to like a Savage 🤣🤣
