Ahh.. let's see..
the wee .22 bolt marlin, it's comeing up on 50 years old now, was fathers when he was a kid. Still shoots good.
Have a Yugo SKS I bought off a friend and never shoot because they screwed up a perfectly good rifle with that grenade gas switch crap. The thick stock and rubber pad are nice though.
Have my 58 Romanian SKS, heart of my heart, I've been everywhere with that rifle. I have over three thousand rounds through it personaly, lord knows how many previously. One, count em, One, FTF. Reliable.
Mosin-Nagant M-44, Russian, bought new in wrap. A blast to shoot, in every way, shape and form. The fireball at night is impressive, booms like a cannon, kicks like a mule. I love it, and it's pretty accurate too. It'll keep up with a nice finn M-39 of a friends out to about 200 yards. It's also the quickets to shoulder little rifle I've ever had.
I finally bought a Mauser awhile ago, 8mm, Nazi proofs, K-98, some 194x date I think. It impressed the heck out of me, such balance, shoots so smoothly, just everything about it compared to the Mosin-Nagants, there just so polished.. Great rifle. I want another one to drill and tap for a scope.
Had a few pistols, just not a pistol kinda guy I guess, I have cutlery for close work.
If you ever get a chance, shoot a full metal gallon paint can with a high caliber FMJ round, HP or not. First time I shot the K-98 was about 75 yards into a paint can, that was very impressive, opended it up flat, paint thirty feet in the air, it was great..
