All of my rimfires, very accurate little rifles. Just plain fun shooting old fruit (apples oranges etc) with an old marlin 81D, with peep sight, and offhand, 7 or 8 hits,out of every 10 shots, at 100 yards, on a good day.
For fun, it's got to be an M1 Carbine for me. It powerful enough to make plinking targets react (water-filled stuff explode, etc), but has very little recoil and is a super-handy size.
ARs are also a lot of fun. I'm about ready to buy an AR of some kind, so soon my M1 carbine will have fierce competition in the "fun" category, I'm sure.
Top would have to be my Ruger 10/22.
A close second would be the Springer GI. Yes I enjoy shooting 45ACP out to 100 yards. You'd be surprised how many times you can hit a paper plate or gong once you get the hang of it.
Within 50 yards I like large bore cast lead bullets at moderate velocities (Cowboy loads) in .44 Special or .45 Colt. No question where they hit but from a carbine length barrel the noise and recoil are mild. If you cast and load your own they are cheap.
My favorite for plinking is also my first firearm. A Ruger 10/22 with 2.5-10 power zoom scope. You can't beat it for knocking the pull tabs off pop cans!
