Took the words right out of my mouth....and I have a lot of guns....
My top level favorite guns, for emotional reasons:
—my favorite pistol: inherited 1943 Ithaca 1911A1 that was my dad's sidearm in WW2.
—my favorite rifle: 1943 Inland M1 Carbine, just like the one my dad carried ashore on Iwo Jima on D-Day +3, given to me by my son for Christmas.
My favorites for other reasons:
—My favorite revolver: a 5" Model 29 .44 Mag, named "Big Poppa" (the only gun I've ever named).
—My favorite "tactical/battle" rifle: my FN SCAR 17S. I have several ARs, but the SCAR is just plain impressive and fun....and REALLY accurate. 2nd most favorite would be my 20" A4. I have a couple of SBRs and a couple of 16" carbines, and they are pretty cool and fun, but if I could only have one AR, I'd take the 20" A4. It and the SCAR would be my "go to war" guns....if if this gimpy fat old man were ever stupid enough to go to war...
—My favorite shotgun: a Mossberg 590A1 w/ 20" barrel and upgraded rifle type sights. Why? Because who doesn't love a pump gun full of booyah? I have 3 other shotties - a couple of O/U and a semiautomatic Benelli, and they're much better for sporting purposes, but the pump gun is like having a baseball bat wrapped in barbed wire. There's just nothing to complain about.
—My favorite bolt gun: currently only own two, a 26" barreled Remington 700 "precision" rifle in .308, and a Ruger Gunsite Scout in .308. The Remington is my favorite of the two, but the Ruger is the more practical rifle.
—My favorite lever action: My Henry .22 Octagon Frontier. I have two Marlins, one in .30-30 and "JM" stamped .45-70. The .30-30 is accurate and functional, but the .45-70 has turned out to be more rifle than these old bones can stand, and I'm probably going to sell it. The Henry .22 is just a jewel though. I would even call it a good survival weapon.
I have a lot of other guns, but one of my other weapons not individually mentioned above are "favorites". They're tools. I like owning them, and having them handy, but I'm not as "emotionally involved" (for lack of a better term) in owning them.
