    I have this Springfield mdl. 1922 with open sights/ peep sights that still amazes me every time I brake it out and shoot it. I have others that are more accurate, but they are scoped. Haven’t decided which one to be buried with yet, I was told there was good squirrel hunting on the other side.

    H&R Ultra Slug Hunter. When I ordered it from Walmart years ago, it was because it was the cheapest rifled slug option for me. Threw a Limbsaver and a Bushnell 6” eye relief scope on it, and it will shoot as good as or better than most rifles at 100 yds. I have a small stash of old Remington Buckhammer slugs, which it loves, that I hope will last a while yet.

    Now, if only the thing didn’t weigh 16 lbs. Hahaha! 😁

    Dropped a scope on then threw together 20 hand loads and was in the black at 25 yards-a few clicks for adjustment and was inside 1" at 50 & 100 yards within 10 shots

    Remington 541S with CCI Stingers at 75 yards with fixed Redfield 10x could shoot acorns off your head -:)

    1. Mossberg 340BD with AC Kro Gruv barrel. Piece of junk but oh that barrel is something else. Shot in Small bore league at West Point for about ten years. The 340BD will out shoot my Winchester 52D and my Anshultz Match 64. Eley etc makes no difference what you feed it.
    2. Number two on my list. German Weatherby Mark V in 7MM Weatherby Magnum.-----Ray

    My .17 Savage rifle is also a tack driver, but that is kinda no surprise.

    Daisy 1894 BB gun that I carried with the same regularity as wearing pants. I used it to shoot English sparrows out of the top of our grainery, and Midnight, my black tomcat would catch most before they hit the ground. If I missed, he would turn and give me the stink eye. Once got chewed out by the neighboring ranch manager who thought it was a "thutty - thutty" endangering the ranch's high dollar Santa Gertrudis cows.

    As a kid, I had the same BB gun........until the lever snapped at the trigger guard. And.......as a kid.....I globbed a bunch of JB Weld on it. It worked......for a little while. Then I wrapped a lot of duct tape on what was left of the trigger guard........and that got me through the rest of that Summer. My grandmother either sold it in one of her garage sales, or threw it away, before the next Christmas.

    Fast forward about 50 years........and I bought another one.......NIB......on GunBroker.

    Also, several years ago I bought a Sears .22 single shot from a friend. I put a Bushnell 4x scope on it and have killed countless squirrels and rabbits with it using Speer .22 short hollow points. Out to 40 yards, it will put all shots touching from a rest.

    Pistol would have to be between a Star PD and a Glock 30SF.

    Rifle its hard to say but I think a M-4 Carbine I had in Iraq was really a great shooting gun and much more accurate they they get credit for.

    A Browning A-Bolt in 270 Winchester. Couldn't hit a barn from the inside until I bought a decent scope. I wasted a bunch of money on a Simmons then bought a Burris scope. The gun shot a half-minute of angle after that.

    Remington Mountain rifle in 25-06. It's never seen factory ammo. I may have lucked into an ideal load for it. But it's more accurate than I should be able shoot. I don't like to shoot it because it don't want to wear out the barrel. One or two shots to sight in and that's all.

    Mossberg 144LSB. .22LR. Off the bags with the right ammo, at 50 yards it will put 5 rounds in one ragged hole.

    Heavier than a mortgage.
