If you HAD to choose THE ONE : )

Remington Speedmaster model552. That's if it has to be a rifle.

I like shooting just about everything, but most of what I shoot is .22
 
You know you guys are going to cost me some $$$. This talk of the lever .38/.357 has me looking HARD at some on Bud's. Those Henry's look mighty nice. Blued/walnut. Nice!
 
Yup--can't go wrong with a nice lever--I wouldn't even mind a 336 in 357. Something magical though about that 5 lb rossi for me--a dream to shoot even if not an especially well-made gun. I've looked around and it looks like braztec has dropped it altogether???
 
Correct[I think]. It seems they are dis-continued. Too bad, as they were certainly less expensive than the Henry's. Still snooping.
 
My Socom16...

As fun and physical to shoot as my Garand or my lever-guns, fast and powerful.

I think my favorite to shoot is my Henry .22 lever gun. I get excited a month ahead of time knowing I've got an afternoon or two to shoot through a few big boxes of ammo at any tin cans or pop bottles that wander into range.

That being the criteria, there's no doubt from my collection it would be my Encore Pro Hunter handgun in 7mm-08.

You can't shoot it without giggling like a school girl. It's a blast, both literally and figuratively. The recoil force with full-power loads is roughly equivalent to a large 44mag revolver... but delivered in a bit more than 1/2 the time.

It also makes a mighty fine hunting gun and I've taken deer with it from ~20 feet out to 175 yards.

For long guns my favorite to shoot is my first AR I put together. It was kind of like a first child to me, a learning curve so to speak. Makes it that much more fun to shoot.

For handguns believe it or not but my rough rider .22 that I got brand new for $75. I'm not real sure why, it serves no purpose other than a cheap gun that goes bang and shoots the cheapest .22 ammo I can find.
 
For pure fun...I'd pick my BSA Martini Henry 22 bull barrel single shot, with Parker Hale peep sights, shooting offhand at steel reactive targets @ 100 yards.
