Just a run of the mill GPR, but it’s my favorite. Some beautiful guns in this thread, gents.

I didn't take these pics, they are by a previous owner. This rifle has been everything I hoped it would be.

Amazing! Thanks for sharing. Is that custom made? Sure looks that way.

Maybe run of the mill to some, but it has style.

Thanks, that is what attracted me to it as well

It was made by Steve Zihn. I don’t know who the original owner was. I just know it’s found a permanent home with me. I’m under the impression it was made around 2000(ish).

Besides the ones I build from scratch. It has to be my .38 cal Soddy Daisy built by Jack Duprey. Super fast and a tack driver....if I do my part....lol

 

[Uncle Miltie]

On a serious note though I have enjoyed this .32 from Ken Netting for the past 30 years. It is my favorite longarm.

I like all of them and have grown quite fond of my Kibler SMR .45. However, my definition of favorite would have to be the sole rifle I would retain if forced to rid myself of the others.
She would be the first rifle I acquired forty-one years ago and my sole rifle during twenty years time of both "fat cow and poor bull".
That rifle and I have been through many adventures, and an incalculable number of round balls fired.
She feels to me as natural in my hands as do my own limbs and consequently I shoot her better than any other. Confident that I can hit anything that she is capable of propelling a round ball too. She is the Jonathan Browning Mountain Rifle .54 cal

Not too many mentions of the cheaper "over the counter" guns like CVA.Traditions. or Lyman etc. Why can't they be favorites as well? Or do they gotta be custom rifles?View attachment 180719View attachment 180719

Well said, Sir! Here is my CVA Remington 1863 Contract Rifle. Not had it long, but it performs really well! I also have a Jukar a bit like yours. When I'm shooting with it that's my favourite, too!

 

[oldwood]

Scratch built .40 cal. light wt. Appalachian walnut stocked long rifle. 38" 3/4 " Oct. brl. . It's my "go to" shooter.

As I said earlier, I will never get rid of my Trade Gun. The gun I shoot the most is my .50 Lyman Great Plains flintlock rifle.

 

[Trooper]

My wife and I have two TC Hawken .50 cal muzzle loaders, both 1 in 48 twist. we have mounted good quality sights on these babies and love them.

Me too!!!! 'Cept mine's flint. THE most accurate rifle I've ever had including unmentionables.

 

[The Miner '49er]

Well, you did say long gun. Yes, I know somebody will soon top this, but I can take it!

 

[Piquant]

I like my Pedersoli 45 caliber Pennsylvania in flint with double set triggers. She is fun to shoot
