How about we drop the argument and get this thread back on track now.
Here are my personal favorites from the guns I own. They've been handed down in my family through 3 generations now.
The one on top is a Marlin 30-30, my deer rifle, and the one on bottom is a Mossberg 500A. Mine are for hunting and home defense rather than just taking them shooting, so no pretty AR's for me, but I do plan to buy a FN SLP and Mosin soon.
