Pretty much depends on what I am doing. I can not be restricted to one gun due to being involved in more than one shooting sport.
Let's see how many "firearms" a sportsman needs to have in possession.

Air Rifle target = indoor and field target - minimum 2 + spares and varmint shooting = several.

Varmint powder burners, CF and RF - several of each calibre .17's and .22's both CF and RF.

Big Game CF, from coyote/wolf to elk and moose = at least 3 rifles

Upland Birds, turkey, migratory game birds = several shotguns

Black Powder = CF Rifle Ctg.- at least 2, Percussion and Flintlock rifles and shotguns, Flintlock handguns and Percussion handguns, as well CF handguns.= many guns

Handgun target shooting, ISU, Cowboy Action, IPSC. 2 for ISU, Minimum of 4 for CB Action and at least 2 for IPSC - revolver and auto.

Can't or couldn't choose one - I need them all.

BUT - The rifle that makes me smile the most when I'm shooting it, is this one:

That's a damn fine rifle too Daryl.

I can't choose just one.
Just can't.

Love your post Daryl

Agree with everyone else..can NOT choose just one..too much diversity in what most of us do --bird hunting..mountain hunting of big game, varmint calling and shooting, home defense (could also fall into varmint category then there is Africa and Dangerous Game...but if I had to nail it down to just one would probably be my Dad's old Remington 22 rimfire I had restored..more sentiment than any of the rest..

If it was a question of what I shoot the most I would have to go with my Krieghoff K80 Pro Sporter, I run just over 15,000 rounds a year through it on clays (I shoot it 1-2 times every week).

For rifles, I'm still enamored with the Desert Technology SRS, one chassis that can run pretty much any caliber with std, magnum of Lapua/Rigby cae heads. It tops out at the 338 Lapua though due to magazine design. Excellent trigger, one scope and I'm up to four calibers: 243 Imp30, 308, 6.5 SAUM and 338LM.

For sidearms I don't know that I have a favorite.

I can not pick just one. Bloody hard trying to narrow the selection down to 4 rifles.
