Anschutz vs Winchester

Way back when (maybe in the '60s?) in the uber accurate .22 competitions there was quite the rivalry between the Winchester 52 and the Anschutz 54. Winchester boasted about their Camp Perry results and Anschutz pointed to the Olympics.
 
Hi Point carbine vs Springfield M1A1

Love my hi-points but come on now :)

How about .223 vs 7.62x51 for battle use
Condition 1 vs. Condition your gonna get killed while you rack your slide
.22 vs 17 HRM

Thats all I got
 
Beretta gas driven shotguns vs. Benelli intertia guns. Beretta owns Benelli, but they two companies are completely separate. Benelli did this huge consumer education with intertia guns, but people realized that if you want to go skeet shooting all day they beat the heck out of you. Gas guns are perceived as being finicky with ammo and hard to clean, even though you can get 7 rounds in the air in like a second and a half with one hand, so it's been a real battle. I believe that Beretta is finally going to end the argument with the new Xplor. It eats anything and is easy to clean.
 
wow guys a lot more than I thought

thanks for keeping it civil too

I like the internal rivalries within a company thats just crazy

Where did you find this qoute, "The Constitution should be taken like mountain whiskey -- undiluted and untaxed."- Sam Ervin.

I like it a lot.
 
Mini 14 vs. AR. Seen a whole lot of folks trying to save a buck and wanting a mini.

Ruger vs. Colt sa.
 
I wouldn't call it a rivalry, as rivalry would imply that both sides have a chance, but the Marlin model 39 vs all other lever .22s! :)
 
Perazzi vs. Kreighoff

Beretta vs. Browning

H&H vs. Boss vs. Purdey

Walther vs. Mauser (small handguns)

LC Smith vs. Parker vs. LeFever

Glock vs. Springfield

and the list goes on forever.................................
 
M1 Carbine?

I didn't see any M1 Carbines, so . . .

M1 Carbine -vs- Ruger PC9
M1 Carbine -vs- Ruger PC40
M1 Carbine -vs- Marlin 1894C - (not really fair, but . . .)

Now, those aren't common rivalries.

More common might be . . .

M1 Carbine -vs- Ruger Mini 14
M1 Carbine -vs- AR 15
M1 Carbine -vs- members of the AK family
M1 Carbine -vs- various .22 LR rifles


Just doin' my part.

:D
