The long guns I own are mainly for hunting.

I have a Remington 700 in 7mm-08 that is an awesome rifle with a Leupold 4-12x40 VXII on top. Man is it pretty! I use it for hunting deer and when hunting hogs from a stand. When my brother and I are hunting hogs in the brush, I carry either my Mini-14 or Ruger Deerfield carbine (44mag). The 44mag is my favorite.

I also do a lot of duck and dove hunting. For that, my pride and joy is a Beretta A391 Xtrema. Its perfect because I can shoot 2 3/4" shells for dove hunting, or step to to 3" or 3 1/2" mags for duck and geese. While expensive, it was my best investment yet.

Oh yeah, and for varmint/ squirrel hunting, I have a Marlin 17HMR with a Nikon Prostaff scope on it. It is great for any small game and also for just plinking. However, the ammo is a considerably more expensive than the Ruger 10/22.

edit: Forgot to add that after spending time on this forum, you guys (and gals) have really sparked my interest in the black rifles. I want to get an AR, but I'm afraid that bug will bite me too! :grin:
