I like the AR platform. Green, brown, black...I don't discriminate!

5.56, 9mm, and 22lr.

9mm for fun, and it's the one that my wife likes to shoot. Currently set up with a CAVARMs lower for weight and A1 length.

I like to keep my AR's fairly simple and clean. Eotech, FF tube. I also likes brakes. Not that the recoil is hard with the 5.56, but it helps to keep the muzzle down, and you can see your shots hit at 200 yards. Yes, I know it's loud. One other accessory that I swear by...The MGI buffer. Expensive for a buffer, but damn! the thing works as advertised. Works in 9mm and 5.56mm. I've tried others, (Cough..Endine Cough) but this one works without giving up reliability.

I had a precision rifle for a while, just didn't do anything for me.

Shotguns BABY! I love the shotty. I spend more time with my shotguns than anything else. I have a Remy 1100CM that eats just about everything. Runs dry, dirty, wet...doesn't matter. I can shoot it all day. I had a M1 Benelli before, and I'll never go back.

For fun, I shoot clays with the 1100CM a couple of times a month. Mostly trap, and I have gone 25/25, 92/100.

Picked up a 20 O/U Yildiz. A Turkish made shotgun available at Academy. Light, good wood, 5 chokes, and backed by Briley out of Houston. Best deal around. Entry level guns for under $400. IMO, much better than the Bakail/Remington Spartan I owned before. The 12ga. is also pretty good, but the light weight makes the recoil pretty stiff. It needs a better pad if you're going to shoot 100's a rounds a day.
