I've sure enjoyed shooting a 1-8 twist .22-250 recently, both on paper and critters...

For me, it's an HMR in a big PD patch. Absolutely no recoil, and watching the bullet impact is about as much fun as I can stand. If it's a little windy, the .204 or .221 Fireball fit the bill equally well, if a bit noisier, and the .17 Hornet, if I can ever find one, should be a really good time, as well.

It has to be a .22. I have seven long ones and five short ones. I suppose that one of my Marlin Mounties would be the favorite rifle and one of the early MK Is would be the favorite short one for plinking or target use. For different applications, the Bearcat and one ofthe Browning semi-auto rifles or the 10-22 might move to the head of the class.

Truth is, I do not keep any gun that I do not care for, so on any given day for some application it could be a fun gun. Jack

I have three favorite guns: A single shot 410 that was my dad's first gun, a winchester 22 semi auto that was the first gun my grandfather bought after WWII around 1950 and my M1 Garand.

The guns I had the most fun with in my life were either my brothers single shot JC Higgins 22 down on our grandmothers farm or my 16 ga 870 I had in HS. We'd dove hunt after school with a group of friends. There were a lot of grade B diaries around in those days and silage fields were easy to come by. Man those were heady times.

Hard to pick.. for pure shooting. My friend has a little 9mm bolt action rifle.

My 17 HMR is fun for feeding squirrels the little pill from far away

And a open sighted 22lr is fun for squirrels as well

Everybody differs, but my "most fun gun" to shoot is a S&W Model 64 (38 Special).

It is cheap to shoot with 125 gr. lead bullets over 3.5 gr. of Red Dot powder. I go to the range and shoot 300 rounds with no heavy recoil and it only costs me about $20! What's not to like?

Full auto MAC in 9mm, 458 Win Mag puts a grin on my face every time, and yeah, just about any accurate 22lr.

I have a little Winchester M-70 Super Grade in 22 Hornet with an old M8 4X Leupold long tube scope on it.

That rifle is an absolute blast to shoot, no recoil, not to loud, and very accurate to boot.

I love that little coyote smoker.

My 400 Whelen has been a fun project and I love to shoot it. Stout recoil but not painful. After that it's a toss up. I really love to shoot my old Savage 34M 22 magnum. I bought it when I was 13 with my trapping money and terrorized the Northern New York woodchuck population.

Recently I came into a Ruger Deerstalker 44 magnum. What a fun gun to shoot. I just got a Winchester 1910 401 self loader. I'm betting it will be a bunch of fun. I found brass bullets and dies and have a few test loads worked up but have to find some 4227. I'm almost out and it is the powder in the 401 according to those that load for it.

For shotguns I sure enjoy my old Ithaca Lewis 10 gauge. Took it to Washington last fall for some ducks with Safariman and had a ball. Great duck shooting and a lot of fun.

They're all fun to shoot.
