Had one of those flyguns until I used it too much and it broke. :D

I haven't killed much. One deer with a Remington 700 in .260 Remington. That's it. It's mounted in my room.

Never really enjoyed killing for sport. I can respect it, though.

Regards,

I grew up hunting for food.

Took more game with a .22lr than anything else by far. Can't be specific as far as the rifle since I've used several over the years, if I had to guess I'd say it's a tie between a Marlin auto-loader (handed down from my grandfather) and the Henry lever-action carbine I handed down to my Son.
 
12 ga. Deer, pheasant, and squirrel
.50 cal muzzle loader might win out as far as pounds of meat b/c I have taken more deer with it than the 12 ga.
 
20 gauge h&r topper shotgun I've been using since I was 11 for hunting game, but I've killed way more with a marlin 22 rifle on a trap line.
 
Winchester Model 1200 shotgun. Used it for deer, quail, doves, ducks, geese, pheasant, and even a wily coyote. Next up would of been a Winchester Model 67A single shot .22 rifle. There have been a lot of squirrels and rabbits in the mix.
 
My Stevens/Fox SxS 16 ga. given to me 50 years ago by my grandfather. It was his first gun bought after he came home from France in WWI. Probably had his most wildlife kills too. I grew up learning to hunt with it, and used it for everything that ran, climbed or flew. Ducks, Geese, Grouse, Quail, Dove, Pheasants, Wild Turkeys, Woodcock, squirrels, rabbits, fox, coyotes, and even a coupla deer using slugs. To this day it is my go to Pheasant gun.
 
Now this isn't a picture of my 22 - but I have one that is 40 years old...

This thing has killed more gofers/ground squirrels, rabbits, skunks, vermits (sic) than I could even imagine. Growing up on a ranch made this 22 the truck gun for most of my childhood.

10,000? easy.

My 870 killed a lot of ducks and geese - but not thousands like the 22.
 
It's a toss up between my Crosman 760 pellet gun and my 870. The pellet gun killed sparrows, rabbits, squirrels and pigeons for years before I was allowed to get a firearm. And the 870 took all of the afore mentioned plus pheasants and geese.
 
I have killed more meat with my .270 win. than any other gun I own. The rifle is a Weatherby vanguard VGX. I have a 4-12 Bushnell Trophy scope on the rifle and it has not changed zero significantly in years. My Marlin Papoose .22lr is a close second.
