Definitely not my best but right at the top as one of my favorites would be . . .
My early A grade, 12 gauge Fox, SN 7983 with 28 inch Krupp barrels choked IC and Full. I got it from Glen Appleby of Galeton PA in September of 1968 for $175.00. Shot many ducks and geese with that gun when you could use lead shot. It's had around 15,000 rounds thru it in the last 10 years shooting "at" Sporting Clay's. That's the top gun pictured below. Lately tho, I've taken a liking to my newly acquired, unmarked as to maker, grade and serial number but looks to me to be an office sample or lunch box gun. In appearance, it looks like an early B12 Fox with some added, nicer features. That one is the bottom pictured gun and the two pictures below that. Note the absence of serial number, grade, patent info, etc.

This is a really tough one for me. There are so many different disciplines and categories of shooting and collecting.
Box birds: My SC-3 Perazzi Sporting clays: A Beretta AL 391 built by Angleport Upland birds falls into a few different categories. Most quail hunting: A 32" Parker Travel gun (for hunting) A Briley choked M-21 Winchester Special Hunts: An H&H Royal SLE from 1900 Crow shooting: A custom stocked Briley choked Winchester M-97 with a 21" barrel Deer and elk: A Browning Stainless Stalker in 7 mm Mag Varmints: A custom built Ruger H-Barrel in .22/243 (.220 Middlestead) Crazy accurate and deadly wayyy out there. Tree top squirrels: A Ruger .22 Mag, M 77R (I think) Paper punching: A Winchester M 52 with an 18 power Lyman Target Scope Home defense: 1st line defense would be a Mossberg 500 ATP, followed by an AR-15 shorty (CAR 15) Cowboy guns: SAA Army Colt in .45 Colt, a Bisley, and a couple of early Winchester Lever Guns Looks and esthetics: German Luger Truck Gun: Kimber Ultra Carry CDP .45 ACP There might be a few categories I'm forgetting about. |

Great list, Todd  but surely you have a few more catagories.
