Thread: Our favourite ever firearms..

Ive owned dozens but the one that stole my heart is a little Savage Lightweight in .223. Had it for maybe 20 years from new. Burned out the throat last year and replaced it with a 1:8 stainless from Truflite. It was good before and even better now. Light and easy to shoot. But its a bit like owning a Landrover - the re-barrel cost more than I paid for the original rifle, then there was the bedding job, and getting a fault fixed in the trigger....

The 80 grain bullets it digests shoot deer like a .243.
