Favorite Shotgun: No surprise to some on the forum, that could only be my Browning Cynergy O/U.

Then Pawpaw, you'd be thrilled with what I picked up after Harvey hit...only two of these babies are remaining now.

Sweet! But someone put them together upside down.

They're all lefty's.

I'm still not sure which of my rifles is my favorite and since this thread began I've complicated the issue by purchasing QB's Henry Evil Roy .22.

Here are my top contenders.
Henry Golden Boy .44mag (wife purchased for our 10th Anniversary)
Henry Evil Roy .22lr
Lee Enfield No. 4 Mk 1 (inherited from Father-in-Law in very good to near perfect condition)
Colt M4 LE6920R-MP mucho modifications/upgrades (my first rifle purchase)
Winchester model 1906 .22 pump (Great Grandpa's that has been handed down generation to generation to me)
M1 Garand (How can anyone not like this rifle?)
1903 Springfield (Dad threw away the original stock and sporterized it, but still shoots good for old barrel. )

There are several more, but those are my top contenders for favorite. I may further muddy the waters within the next couple of years. I'm finding myself drawn to the SCAR 17s lately.

Both belonged to my father.

The butt pad on that Citori is the same kind that is on my Dad's Sears 20ga pump that might be older than me. It is no longer a pad.

Mine still has the pad.

It is still attached to his, but is no longer a pad. It is rock hard. My Benelli 12ga shoots softer.

I only have three shotguns and one of them I haven't fired yet. That's the 20ga. ATI/Cavalry O/U that I'm giving to my daughter for her birthday today.

My second shotgun is a .410 Mossberg that belonged to my FIL. This is the gun my daughter likes and became interested in skeet shooting with.

My first shotgun and what will probably always be my favorite is a Benelli M2 3-gun model. It is a wonderful and versatile shotgun that I have enjoyed shooting skeet, trap, and 5-stand with. I will also soon get to try sporting clays. I originally purchased it with the intent of getting involved in 3-gun matches, but have only done one of those.

As for my favorite rifle, I'm not really sure. Those I have a few more of and several that I like very much. I'll have to think on that a while.
