"Favorite" is very different from best or most useful or any other criteria. It calls to the heart and nowhere else.
My favorite is the Remington Nylon 66 in Apache Black that I inherited from my mother.
This is exactly where I stand also.My go to is a modern tactical style bolt action hands down. Long range shooting is my current passion.
I like all types of rifles and history but they just don't grab me like a bolt gun.
I would like to know more about your firearms collecting courses though. Is this a history class or a course to teach people to collect? I know they are tied together but what is the main goal?
I'm right there with you. I have 13 rifles in that chamber and if I had it my way I would have at least that many more.I’m a 7.62x39 slut. I want to add a ptr32 to the collection.
Now you need an AUGA neighbor showed me his HK91 and P7 in the early 80’s. It took me a few years, but this was pre ban and I bought a HK91A3 for $600.00 new.
That started me down the path... Then came Die Hard, and the MP-5. I could never afford a real one, but rented and shot one. Wow! I didn’t think was anything more perfect
Eventually I bought a clone, a true SBR and a legal suppressor. There is nothing I enjoy shooting more. I am no John McClain, but I do enjoy shooting targets. Anyone who has shot it has always ended up with a grin, that belt sander couldn’t remove...

Hands down my favorite is this Marlin 30-30 that my dad left me.
He bought it in 1972 as a work carbine with more punch than the M-2 he was issued when with the Alabama Highway Patrol.
I have taken deer with it every year since he passed.

YepThe incredible shrinking man. You lost a ton of weight dude. Looking good.
Still the regiment you discussed in the weight loss thread?
It’s a great round. It did it’s job really well as an intermediate cartridge.I'm right there with you. I have 13 rifles in that chamber and if I had it my way I would have at least that many more.
