What is your favorite rifle or the one you keep going back to?

This is my favorite rifle by far.  It does everything I ask of it and every time I shoot it, I wonder why I keep wanting to build other rifles.  

Now most of my shooting is done >50 yds with a vast majority existing in the 100-600yd range so the rifle is biased to that type of shooting.  

I run it in GasGun show matches, Run n Guns, and Two gun matches with great success.  



It was originally inspired by the Block II SPRish rifles that are out there but I chose some parts that are more applicable to me.

Main components:
PA 2.5-10 GLx in a Reptilia mount
DDM4 12” rail
Centurion 14.5” midweight barrel
Surefire RC2
Vltor A5 buffers
B5 Sopmod stock
Ergo grip

My suppressed 6.8 SPC 12.5" SBR.  It can be rigged for Thermal, Variable Scope and Aimpoint allowing for a lot of versatility.  Has been on many hunts and has produced freezer fair consistently.

My SP1 with a 14.5" Colt SOCOM bbl on a flattop upper. If I had to ditch everything but one, that would be it. However, I'd use a different optic than what's shown. The can, light and sling are also not mounted.

Tough choice.

Probably 11.5 build but just barely.

Even though I have a bunch of 10.5, 14.5 and 20. I for some reason always come back to my DDM4V7. It’s a super close second place.

Seems like it changes every once in a while but my suppressed 7.5 usually has me going back to it regularly. It’s just a very handy and comfortable little compact rifle.

My DDC 16” G rifle is a close second that I may be putting a 14.5 barrel on.

I'm honestly not sure... There was a point where every AR I have was my favorite.

The one AR that does everything I can imagine I'd ever need an AR to do is my 6720 "clone" with an ACOG on it. But the ARs I enjoy shooting and looking at the most are my A1 and A2 "clones". The ARs that combine all my favorite features are my A4 "clones" with lightweight 20" barrels.

This is undecidable.

Split between these two. There’s just something about a soft shooting lightweight carbine that I love.
