One of my favorites is my Marlin .22 MAG, it has the composite stock, stainless barrel, but you can't tell. It's had a full camo paint job.....daawwww, great scope.....can't tell you anything about it...it's painted camo too!! Has a camo cloth wrap.........at another site I visit we call these our mini-snipers. Excellent group at 100yards and gets out even further.
I also have a new toy waiting at a friends house.....that I hope to aquire soon. Brand new Springfield Armory XD, earth tone lower, 4" barrel, two 13 round mags and 45 ACP. I can't wait to pick that up!!
Nice Ruger LCH!!! Lots of guys on that other site love those Ruger 10-22's

.44 Desert Eagle
Hungarian made AK-47, built to IPSC Open class
.38Super Para Ordnance, built to IPSC Open class w. bells 'n whistles on it. (In pic the gun is different brand, but it shows the whistels and bells, for those unfamiliar with IPSC action shooting)
Most fun to shoot however is good ol' Pistole 08, aka Parabellum 9mm, aka Luger (see pic).
To keep running costs down, I reload my own ammo. That's a hobby within a hobby. It takes dedication to become a good reloader, so your ammunition is not deformed during the process. Sometimes resizing dies actually call for a trip to a local machining shop, to get rid of manufacturers over estimated tolerances. I've noticed Dillon brand dies to be exaggerated in this field. RCBS dies make ammo more 'fat' thus it fits snugly in the chamber when you shoot. That'll enable greater accuracy.
Also bellbouthing angle is overly generous in pretty much any die brand. That overly stresses brass mouth... I'll stop here. This is a diesel site and let's keep it as such

The one I shoot the most is an old winchester model 75 target .22, but the baddest rifle in my closet is my 7mmSTW Accumark. Deer fear it greatly.
I will own a .30-378 one day, and then they will fear that even more.

Now I'm depressed, you got me thinking about my old 1909 1st gen colt .45 with stag grips. One I got rid of for a female... that'll never happen again. My most personal would be my old service Sig P226. My favorite to hunt with is my late '41 mod 70 winchester 30-06.

LOL, Any of my 1911's Each is a favorite for a different reason though.
Though I must say if I had to choose 1 gun to do it all, I would take my Marlin camp carbine .45ACP. Thats one wicked little gun, portable, accurate........

Carried a S&W 645 for years, rugged and dependable, and very accurate for a combat handgun.
Loved the Walther PPKS .380 as a back-up...tho it had problems feeding anything but jacketed ball untill I had the ramp polished.....
Mossberg 500 "Street-Sweeper" with pistol grip and heat shroud...scary enough looking to intimade most folks...
To misquote a old timer...my favorite is the one in my hand when the party starts......

Either this one, a Colt SP-1 NFA registered full auto..
Or this one, an Uzi Carbine NFA registered submachinegun.
Yes, I own both of these, perfectly legally (in case some VPC fruitcake sees them).
Not sure if my linking skills are going to work...
