[QUOTE="comfisherman, post: 2661865, member: 8394"] This thread was inspired by a conversation I had this morning that got me thinking... Stall mate on the boat next to me has a ruger mini 30 that he adores, much to the chagrin of his crew and everyone who hunts with him. It's an old accuracy systems international build from way back. .825 stainless fluted barrel with their old forward blow comp, chambered in whatever predates the 300 blkout or 30 hamr. It's some weird wildcat, it's trimmed with a laminate thumb hole in a color best described as "inclusive and diverse". It's topped with what appears to be a gen one long tube aimpoint red dot. His crewman were giving him a hard time saying he should only take it off the boat in the dark. It's ugly, loud, uses a semi pointless wildcat and was expensive.... but he claims he loves it. He called it his beer goggles, last call, any port in a storm rifle. It goes everywhere with him and he shoots it often. Got me thinking, what rifle do I adore in the face of logic and objectivity... I mean sure we'd all like to claim we only have 1/4 moa pragmatic rifles.... but are we that utilitarian? What rifle do you have and enjoy that require some "beer goggles" to enjoy? My past was probably a 270 wsm r1 that patterned looser than most 12 gauge buckshot. For whatever reason benneli rate of fire overruled accuracy and it never didn't make me smile. After that... I have an adult acquired chipmunk 22. It's a pain to load, trigger sucks and it makes people laugh to see me shoot it. But I take it everywhere and it gets more range time than probably all my other rifles. [/QUOTE]
