Fudd guns in the top ten. No doubt a F&S list.

Since I own six of your ten , it is hard to disagree . I would have thrown in the A-5 but that might be because I just happen to shoot better with it .

One or two of those I could agree to having in a top ten list, but that would be about all.

If nothing else, metallurgy has come a long way in the last 40 years or so; it doesn't hurt to dry snap modern rifles but you'd not want to do it with anything 'pre-64'...

Modern autoloading shotguns are much faster than those of 40 yearss ago i.e. you can't outrun the trigger on Beretta or Benelli's recent semiautos.

Mostly limited to hunting firearms - not military or target firearms.

No fudd guns for me.

I have about 30 firearms, and own exactly zero from that top 10 list.

Thanks for the article. My dad just handed down his Winchester Model 70 to our son.

The only one (actually three) from that list that I own is the Benelli. I have two H&K Benelli M1S90s for home defense and a Super Black Eagle II for hunting.

A magazine writer whose number one advertiser is probably Winchester. This incestuous relationship is why Cold Steel Knives doesn’t advertise in knife magazines.

Top ten hunting guns obviously as it did not include the AK-47 and the B.A.R.. ;)

The author loses.

No 1911, Colt Model P or High Power on the list.

Now if you change the headline to the 10 morst popular hunting firearms, it would make sense.
