Did a brief search to see if anyone posted any topics like this. Sorry if its a duplicate.
Looking for peoples favorite most loved firearm in their closets. If you had to choose just one and only one. I myself love them all, that's why I have such a hard time answering this prompt. The two that would prob be top on the list aren't finished yet. Even in that state, they are my two most loved guns. Really want to talk about them both but going to control myself seeing as how I'm initial poster.
My garand. There are many like it but this one is mine. 200k sa garand receiver I just got from cmp as a refinished receiver. Refinished summer 41 round op rod. Sa t1 bolt. Round op rod catch. Narrow base sa gas cylinder. Trigger is an extra hole win trigger. Milled groove hand guard clip. New springs, firing pin, extractor, and rear sight. Barrel is a new sa 55 30-06. Everything is near new or refinished. Haven't gotten a hold of the stock yet. Would like a nice extra fancy walnut with lots of character. Near complete.
Why? Of everything I have, garands are well balanced, heavy hitting, and pleasant to fire. Not the most accurate. Not that light either and shooting more than a hundred rounds in one sitting is challenging. Ammo ain't cheap either. Hard to explain but its just pleasant to shoot. Gathered the most aesthetically pleasing parts and throwing them together for this rifle. Not the first rifle I've built but one of the ones I've been the most patient in building.
Everyone has a favorite. Would like to limit it to guns guys have or loved and lost. I know mine barely falls into the category. Excited to see what everyone posts.

Honestly, My 10/22. Cheap ammo-shoots like a champ.

My 10/22 has been my favorite for sometime now. Now that I have a 22 conversion for my AR it's slowly becoming my favorite. I love how accurate my 10/22 is. I'm strictly a silhouette guy. I have a blast knocking those targets over at kokohead.

Glock 23. b/c I can shoot 9mm out of it too.

*EDIT* Forgot the WHY part
I love it because it's a classic bad ass design. It's sexy as hell.

Colt 1911 XSE. It's not the first gun I've owned but it's the first I bought. I like the trigger and it's easy to hit the target.

First response to 10/22s was like, "what!". Then in hindsight, couldn't believe I was surprised in the first place. Almost everyone I know has shot one at least once in their lifetime. People (non military) who've only shot one gun in their life probably shot a 10/22. Now, I'm surprised I was surprised. Great list so far guys. Thanks.

I've been in the military for 15 years. I love my 10/22. O0 CHEAP AMMO...

Right now my 870 tactical is my favorite gun. (It changes all the time)
Sunday I was at Kokohead making bullseye shots with slugs at 50 yards and banging my gong at 100 yards.
Super accurate and so damn sexy. Oh and the gun is nice too.

9 months from now you're gonna have a half m1a and half transformer baby :rofl:
Favorite gun? I don't really have a favorite. I do have one that would be the last to go, even though I've never shot it.
I have a colt 1903 .32 passed down from my great grandfather. It was his issued sidearm in US Army. Everything goes before that one.

I can't say I have a very favorite yet. I love them all.

I gotta say my 870 has become my favorite gun due to versatility, close range devistation and its just super fun to shoot.

Right now my favorite is my Stag Arms model 8 with a Samson Star C free float rail & Timney trigger. Lifetime warranty on the rifle including the barrel.
