Re: Field and Stream: 50 best guns ever made
If the H&K P7 isn't on there then the list is flawed. I glanced, but didn't feel like scrolling through 50 slides. I hate it when they do that, just show me the list and then let me decide if I want to see the whole slide show. I guess this way, they get to feed me 50 ads and their pageview count goes up along with their ad rates.
it's socially unacceptable to be ahead of your time.

No M1A or similar battle rifle. No 1911, either (that I saw). I guess the list is okay if all you think you'll ever shoot are 4 legged or winged creatures.

What a lousy list. I only have 5 of them.

Re: Field and Stream: 50 best guns ever made
Well at least I have a Remington 94 .30-30 that made the list!
Even though I am going to do the unthinkable and re-make it more ruggedized (replace busted/cracked/dinged wood with synthetic, strip old and practically unprotected wood and parkerize it, put on a better peep site on the rear)
I know some people would freak..but I want to make it more useful and not some stupid safe queen

We have one my dad won at a bar once, he says he hates to shoot that thing, I'm trying to get him to part with it though (Though it does have his name, not mine engraved on it)

I don't have anything on the first five pages. After that, I was tired of waiting for the pages to load, so I don't know.

Re: Field and Stream: 50 best guns ever made
I must aree with my old friend MoJo. That list has more holes in it than my 50' target. I do happen to own a couple that made the list though. Ruger 10/22 and Ruger Blackhawk. But just as an example what about Colt. The .38 caliber Colt Diamon Back and the .357mag Colt Python should deffinitely be on the list. How many more are not that should be???MoJo wrote:Lists are like opinions, everybody has one and, I don't agree with yours.
Ahh, but I ain't askeert. I got my OWN list and that's the one I go by.

This has been up for at least a week. The ONLY Military or military-based gun on it is the K98 Mauser(that I could find, anyway). They rather obviously avoided any military guns for some reason.

Re: Field and Stream: 50 best guns ever made
On number 14 (I think) they had the Springfield 1903 and the comment that it and the Mauser were the only two military guns on the list. I agree that, givne the magazine, the bias towards sporting firearms would be natural. And for the Springfield, they point out how many times it has been sporterized.drw wrote:Well, it is Field and Stream, after all.T3hK1w1 wrote:They rather obviously avoided any military guns for some reason.
