I have a Remington 700 chambered in .243 that was made produced in the early 70s. I love that gun,

Wow, so many have been stellar! It seems that I selected guns that were right for me and the hunting plans.
Ruger Mark II stainless target bull barrel has taken truckloads of coon from high in trees. Browning Challenger II has done the same. Ruger Red Label has taken loads of pheasants. Remington 1100 LH slug gun has taken countless deer. Remington 1100 magnum has taken countless ducks and geese.
My dad’s Marlin 39A Golden Mountie was incredibly accurate and fun to shoot. We burnt up a lot of $4 a brick ammunition. I wonder where that gun went?
Sadly I sold my guns when downsizing and raising money for other purposes. Probably should have kept one.

I'm far from a "gun nut".
What I want in a gun is one that always shoots, and always hits where I want it to.
For me that has been my Remington Model 31 20 gauge pump shotgun. Not a critter alive I've not killed with it...from squirrels to coon, to deer.
Where I grew up you could only hunt deer with shotgun. I moved from there to states that allow rifle hunting of deer 17 years ago and still haven't got around to buying a deer rifle... because I know that old shotgun will drop the deer every time.

My Remington 788 chambered in 22-250. Put a lot of predators down with it.... along with an H & R long tom 10 gauge. And my Remington Nylon 66, it is one of the most carefree guns I have ever owned (I have several but use only 1) it's a blast to shoot and the tube in the stock is easy to reload,

My favorite non magnum rifle is a Sako .284 Winchester magnum rifle it's a toss up between a .300 Weatherby or a .375 H&H or a .338 Winchester For a shotgun it's a Benelli 12 ga 3 1/2 " chamber Nova I've killed a lot of geese and ducks with that shotgun !

I tend to not buy "cheap" or low-quality guns. So, "best" is hard to say. I've had some "favorites", for sure.
Glock 29 CVA Mountain Rifle .50 cal flintlock Browning A-Bolt Stainless Stalker .375 Weatherby Magnum Ruger 77 "boatpaddle" .300 Win Mag Winchester Model 21 in 16 gauge

Steyer Mannlicher in 6.5x55 Swede. Wish I still had it. It was for many years my goto for most things that needed to be put down.
