Clearly, we all have our favorites. As a child in JROTC, it was 513T and the 40X on rifle team, then I was "Brought up" in the military on the M-14. So that made me a fairly easy sell on the AR-10.

But if you wanted to sell me on something else, something "better", move me along the line as it would be, ..................

......................... what rifle would that be?

Now, I have said that I'm not a sniper only an excellent shot. I need my glasses to shoot but I do shoot standing, without a brace, using just a combat sling and iron sights. I don't think I've ever used a scope. At any rate, probably don't have the eyes to be a sniper, probably too many degrees to be a sniper, ie, more of the leader/manager type (but I do love being out of the office on drills!). As far as the personalty, about being able to kill someone who is not an immediate threat to oneself, well often maintained that if I had license, I could do it, but still.....

At any rate, all those factors in mind, with what I've said previous, what's next?
