My favorite long gun is whichever one is newest. I've only kept a few guns for years, most get sold soon after I get bored with them so I can buy something else. That means the current favorite is the L1A1 that I got about 2 months ago--it's my current project gun. I might even keep it for a while.:7:

I currently have 2 favorites:

My Savage 10FLP .308, which shoots sub 1/2 MOA groups with Black Hills 168gr Matchking Ammo or handloads

and

my Rock River Arms AR15 Entry Tactical, which shoots sub 1 MOA groups with every ammo I've tried in it.

I'm currently looking at purchasing a Sig 556.

Right now I'd have to go with my 16" AR15. Mainly cause I built it myself. Nothing like shooting nice groups with a gun build by your own hands.

I would have to say that it is my Remington 700 in 300 WBY. This rifle was made in 1972, and I don't know if Remington has ever offered the 700 in 300 WBY since. Loaded with 82.5 GR of H-4831, 165 GR Nosler partition,CCI 250 primer in a Remington peters case. Off the bags this rifle will shoot a three shot group with all the rounds touching at 100 yards. I have used this rifle on moose and bear in Alaska, Elk in New Mexico and Colorado, hogs in south Texas.

My 10/22 followed by my M1 Carbine.

Both are fun to shoot. The 10/22 is fairly accurate out to about 75 yards(2” group at 75 yards). The M1 Carbine is about a 2” group at 25 yards so not so accurate, but a blast to shoot. They are both practical and affordable to shoot.

:ticking: I currently suffer from BRD (Black Rifle Disease). I own a .223 and my blog shows how the .40 build is coming along. I've gone through an AK and a FAL, but I wanna build an AR in every caliber. My stimulus check went to five new AR lowers! :y: WHOOHOO:icon_great: Talk about stimulation.

Of all the long guns I own my favorite two would be my Beretta 1200 18 in 12 guage riot gun and a mini 14 that I ordered at Sears years ago when you could still do that. I have an AR-15 but the mini is so simple and problem free that I would feel comfortable with it when and if something happens.
