These are the top ten from a fairly long F&S article called: "The 50 Best Guns Ever Made". Be sure to check it out.

[IGOTMINE]

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 .

[traderrob6]

Yea baby!

[gorush]

A beautiful and accurate description of #6.

[wendy1946]

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.

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

[NonLinear]

Completely bogus without one of these:

[Bunkasaurus]

4.5 for me
(I’m giving myself a half point for my post ‘64 Model 70)

Belgian Model of course:

[freeplancer]

Jeez, was the author a Winchester salesman?

[P8riot]

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.

[Shooter 2.5]

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.

[Centurion2000]

My personal favorite.

[mountainlion]

I would have to disagree form the broad best ever made. GE Gatling gun was fabulous over Viet Nam. 16incher was a winner in the Pacific. Chain guns should not be left out. 6 inchers were extremely accurate. M14 and M1 Garand should be in the best.

[ExSoldier]

Yank the Remington 870 since the Winchester Model 12 is more appropriate. Yank the XP-100. Substitute the M1911A1 for the XP-100. I agree with the rest but not as a FINAL list whatever that means. But this list is fine for a "sporting list."

[bpjam]

glad to see the Mossberg 500 and the Remington over-under. I didn’t realize when I was young and firing these fine weapons that they were a couple of the greatest weapons ever.

I just knew they hurt fairly bad in 12 gauge form when you are only 12 years old. The bruises go away but the memories never fade.

[wastedyears]

I’ll take one of each of the top 10.

Man, I need to get to PA...

[wastedyears]

Also, I hope this is the new release of it. I’ll look for it wherever I can and purchase a copy.

[Lancey Howard]

I like #7. Add just a few thousand dollars worth of “modifications” and you have what hogs call a “40”.
