Why RIFLES are the best.

[Tim the student]

I prefer shooting rifles to everything else. Just more fun for me.

That being said, a shotgun has more pure utility for me personally. YMMV.

 

[Smokey in PHX]

I've always thought everyone prefered rifles.

Do you guys prefer rifles? If so why?

Absolutely, while I have a few pistols/scatterguns, rifles comprise almost the entirety of my collection. I see them as useful tools whereas I see other firearms as a means to an end (mostly for SD/HD). Besides I consider myself a pretty decent rifleman, whereas I am simply "proficient" or "good enough" with other arms. A great deal of this likely has to do with my preference for rifles, but its mighty hard to ring the steel at 1k with a Glock. I also see them as the more "noble" firearm, if that makes any sense...not to say that other forms of arms are inherently evil in any way (I like stuff that goes bang in most any form), just that rifles are what I think of as what the common man uses to protect the farm. Having my grandparent's (on both sides of the family) rifles that were used for just that is probably a significant contributing factor.

i like rifles because the bullets out of pistols curve in a much tighter radius

I prefer them all, but at last count I had more pistols than rifles and more rifles than shotguns.

Which means I have a great excuse to buy more rifles and shotguns!

Gosh, I guess everybody has been wasting their time making things that aren't rifles. This thread proves it.

...and you're just now figuring that out?!?

 

[RugerMcMarlin]

I like rifles. I like them a lot, I dont think I like them quite as much as you. I still like girls more.

 

[MistWolf]

Aw, gawrsh! I'm flattered, but we hardly know each other. Glad ya like girls better, though- it could have been down right embarrassing!
