Thread: Most common rifle?

While waiting for some rocks to dry out before testing I got to wondering. Whats the most common rifles being used?

For me its,
Howa 1500/Weatherby .270
CZ .223
CZ and JW15 .22

Currently, Tikka.
Greatest number in circulation, Remington
Highest number getting ignored and dusty, LE

Dont think much of your selection. Where is Ruger, Browning, Winchester...

There'll be a few Marlins out there too

No sako

most people would have a marlin or ruger 22

Hmm, how the heck do I find the option for letting people add an option to the poll?

Do we tick what we have or what we think is most common?

I have a few Savages and a Ruger.

A good start would be tick what you have and comment any other. It's not a very scientific poll

I second that. Mossberg, Marlin, Henry, Colt, and Bergara too.

Maybe we need a new poll.... every one tick what you have, got to be some popular models out, how many dont have a 10/22 or a tikka t3

And I don't have a 10/22 or a Tikka. First Tikka I ever saw was just after the factory barrel shit itself and both divided and multiplied at the same time. Fark that, they might be accurate but seeing that once is enough. Shortly after that I handled a BRNO with a pencil weight barrel that had been mud plugged and fired without the owner realising the danger. The resulting bulge with three cracks was about 1.5" in diameter and about 5" long... An exercise in contained and safe pressure release. The action was retired but was actually deemed safe to reuse after inspection - the Tikka was scrap no parts salvageable. As they say, everything is built to a cost and the marketing makes the money...

Slightly off topic:
I’ve seen a near new stainless Tikka barrel split from just on front of the action to the muzzle using factory ammo.
The shooters left fingertips needed some patching up and the poor guy whose shoulder was being used as a rest had a lacerated and deaf ear, both were quite lucky all things considered.

Maybe the poll should be split into 3 sections: centrefire/rimfire/shotgun?
