Anyone else in here an avid shooter/hunter? Just curious about some of your favorites. Me I love my Remington 870 express. I've had it since I was 12 it was the first gun I ever owned and I took first place in my division at the State Trap Shoot, that year. I also have an 181/2" rifled slug barrel for it that I use for deer hunting. Solid gun for sure never had any problems I couldn't fix on my own.

My second favorite is my Ruger 10/22. I think that's love I share with many people. So many attachments and after market accessories that make it a blast to own. Plus did I mention I bought it brand new for under 200 before the nazi started scaring everyone with gun bans....

I also just bought my self an Norinco SKS in December. I've only got out to shoot it twice but I also love that crap out of it, shoots flawlessly I just wish there were more options for mounting a scope on it.

I baby all my guns like you wouldn't believe, sometimes I clean a clean gun just because I'm bored :laugh:

    Yeah It's by far my favortie family tradition. It's the only thing that gets all the guys together for a week. It's the entire adventure around hunting that I love, the road trip, the hiking in the woods and connecting with nature, the drinking and playing cards next to a fire in the cabin...Such a good get away from the day to day chaos.... Did I mention that venison is extremely healthy/ lean meat! People don't realize that it's about as lean as chicken breast and can taste 100x better if you know what your doing in the kitchen

    My favorite is .22 magnum my wife bought me for our 10th anniv. Beautiful wood stock, nickel plated bull barrell, it's a really nice looking gun. My favorite hunting gun is my browning 300 win. mag.. Also have a couple 9mm handguns, .44mag revolver. Couple of shotguns and a couple 30 x 06s. Love to hunt.

Ruger LCP, Ruger SR 9, Ruger 1911 .45 ACP, AMD 65 (AK 47), Bushmaster .223 and my person favorite, Remington 870 Tac 12 gauge. I'm strapped and ready for the apocalypse.

    *Disclaimer* I don't own any guns anymore. They were all sold!


    I am an avid hunter and shooter. Really enjoy the time in the field and the competition on the range.

    Oh me like, I see you got an SKS as which one is it? I have the Norinco with the chrome lined barrel and the spike bayonet. I looked all over for the yugo but couldn't find one anywhere, I like they way they look with the grenade launcher attachment.

    My first thought is "I <3 firearms" posted by someone whose name is "Danger2Oneself". Uh-oh." But that's because I think words like that are funny.

    I've only got a home protection shot gun, but I support shooters (recreational peeps).

    I only have 2 pistols, my fave is my pink Taurus 380, but since I just got it less than a year ago, I am not a very good shot and it still scares me a bit. I had only shot my kids 22's before that though.

    I bet my husband and son would say their fave is the AR-15. We have an arsenal at our house. My husband and son love hunting. My son just got back on the family Fallow Deer hunt in Iowa that he went on by himself. He got a nice Fallow Buck.

    OH and I have seen the Zombie targets, but I have not bought any yet. We practice shoot as often as we can when it gets warm. I just have to get more comfortable with my gun. I would also like to get a bow and learn to shoot it. I may become a huntress after all.

    I love hunting. My favorite rifle brand has Remington since they make such a good quality rifle. I used a remington rifle to drop my first deer, a doe, at age 10.

    I am also currently on a precision air rifle/pistol team, having been apart of it since I was 9. Currently competing with an Izzy air pistol, one of the best you can get :wink:


    I :heart: firearms!

    Been hunting for the last 15 years. Love being out in the woods.

    I really like my 223 bolt action, I love going coyote or prairie dog hunting. Or my husbands BPS 12 ga for skeet or pheasants.

    i like skeet shooting with my uncle's shotguns, but for how expensive guns + ammo are, i'd rather get a ps3!

    Like another poster said I keep my killing to paper and zombies. I don't get to the range enough even though the wife and kids keep asking. Right now I have only a Springfield XD9 and a Savage Bolt Action, Heavy Barrel .22. Would like to get an 870 Express at some point though...

    Started shooting about six weeks ago. Love it! My husband bought a Ruger SR 22 to get used to shooting. And I've graduated to a Ruger 380 :happy:

    My husband has been saying that about finding ammo.. lots of the stores shelves are bare ... people are getting scared of not being able to buy it so they are stocking up.

    We have always had guns around. My grandmother and grandfather are both retired police so I have been shooting since I could hold a gun. It is so much fun to go target shooting. Right now my bf is building an AR15, it is coming along nicely.
