Ruger 10/22 pocket rifle and MKIV 22/45. The pocket rifle surprised me in a couple ways…I made it “just because” knowing full well that I probably wouldn’t shoot it often, however that has not been the case, it gets shot every time I take it with me…which is always. The other reason is how accurate it is for only having a 6” barrel…granted I’m not going to win any bullseye competitions with it, but it will put an entire 25 round magazine in a 2” circle at 50yds with a Burris Fastfire II red dot.

most v. fun
If by favorite we mean "shoot the most", it's a toss up. Either a Mossberg 44US w/ issue peeps, , or a Ruger 77/22, scoped. I'll add that the Ruger, a stainless/synthetic model, may be the best gun money I ever spent.
Fun would be a PSL, 7.62x54R with Belarus scope.

Barrett .50 M107A1 hands down at night onto water with tracers.
(You’ll need a couple miles of known empty land behind them)
Volvo engine blocks are a close second target.
Edit: Here we're helping range management by rapidly wacking ants on a mound in front of a target

Pianos??
We once turned an old upright piano in to kindling. A member of our little group had a connection with a piano guy. Occasionally they get an old piano that can't be tuned, usually the frame is cracked.
They make a marvelous target for half a dozen guys with lots of ammunition. We turned an old upright in to a pile of kindling.
Worst part? We were on BLM land, and we don't leave a trace behind. Hint park the piano on a big plastic tarp, that will ease the clean up.

My favorite is my old 1943 Russian Mosin Nagant 91/30 PU sniper.
This gun is about 78 years old & still hits distant gongs like a sledge hammer. I like pulling the trigger & having time to put the gun down & sit up to then hear the ring of the gong.
Things like this can put a smile on your face real fast.

I like to shoot all my guns. But my 1873 Springfield Trapdoor and Bisley in 45 Colt are my two favourites. Though I have to admit the Glock 44 I bought a few months ago has to be about the worse I have.
I hear ya Hawg. If I’m shooting im loving it but I still got that one that’s idk a little more exciting than the rest. That’s just if my guns. I’m sure I would like something bigger and better I mean like earlier in the thread the guy talking about shooting the .50 BMG at engine blocks. That right there I am sure would put a grin on me like the joker
I've never shot a BMG but I bet it's a hoot. My dad and I had a junkyard back in the 70's and it was a blast shooting up junk cars that were due to be crushed. It's also a lot of fun to see how many 30-06 rounds a running engine can take before it quits.
