Light256 · February 20, 2014, 02:41 AM

Most def. my .17 HMR savage 93R17 that gun is just plain fun

WardenWolf · February 20, 2014, 04:09 AM

Dare I say Mosin Nagant? 7.62x54R can still be had cheaply enough.

hodaka · February 20, 2014, 06:30 AM

Taurus Thunderbolt in .45 Colt.

mxsailor803 · February 20, 2014, 04:19 PM

Mosin Nagant and Ruger Deerfield. Granted the Mosin is surplus and the Deerfield is reloaded with some warm cheap Sierra's, Mosin is still cheaper. I just love my .44's though

model18 · February 20, 2014, 05:14 PM

Savage 110 in .30-06

rocknturtle · February 20, 2014, 07:09 PM

I have a H&R 158 in 30/30 I reload for,and it is a great target shooting rifle,I really love the single shots.

kawasakifreak77 · February 20, 2014, 07:46 PM

300blk boltgun, silly accurate. Feed it range pickup 5.56 brass & left over .308 bullets for cheap & available shooting!

Garycw · February 20, 2014, 07:48 PM

SKS , AK 2nd

VaPlinker · February 20, 2014, 08:04 PM

My favorite plinking rifle is a 17hmr (mine is a Savage). I find that a bolt action slows me down & requires me to more closely check my aim. I tend to track in rather than aim carefully when I shoot my semi-auto.

Microgunner · February 20, 2014, 08:33 PM

17HM2. I own three of them.

shooterbob · February 20, 2014, 08:44 PM

256 win mag in a contender 10 in bull. It's low recoil but quite loud. Use for plinking and yote hunting close up.

Drue · February 21, 2014, 06:01 PM

Marlin 1894 CL in .32-20. It is uber fun to shoot, sort of a high velocity .22 with three times the bullet weight.

Anything with ghost ring or peep sights.

But to answer you question.....my m1a

coldbeer · February 22, 2014, 12:55 PM

That's easy M1 carbine even funner than a 22

Microgunner · February 22, 2014, 01:26 PM

funner?

dos0711 · February 22, 2014, 01:58 PM

Rossi 92 stainless 38/357 carbine...lots of fun!

SteelChickenShooter · February 22, 2014, 04:53 PM

Odd question to me. I just never regarded any other rifle other than a .22 rimfire to be a plinker.

tahunua001 · February 22, 2014, 07:44 PM

well I have a few.

my SKS is probably the one I use the most since I have a decent amount of x39 built up finally. however I love to plink with my type 44 Arisaka but ammo is so gosh derned expensive that I almost never get to use it.

my new toy is a 6.5 grendel AR which is becoming one of my more attractive prospects for squirrels and deer but with ammo being scarce until wolf becomes readily available I will probably keep it shelved for the time being.

I understand, but I consider 'plinking' to be shooting at a variety of varied hit or miss targets rather than scored as on a bulls-eyes with higher points for center shots. Example: A bottle makes a plink sound when hit and usually is a one-time tardet. I expect that there are many definitions.

I have a 22 rifle, a22 handgun, a 17 rifle. I plink with all. I will soon have a 9mm and will plink with that. My son is building a 223/556 AR and tells me he expects to plink with it.

Lt. Skrumpledonk Ret · February 23, 2014, 06:08 PM

Mosin Nagant.

fatbill · February 23, 2014, 09:55 PM

Diana rws34 in 0.17 caliber. Cheaper to shoot than a 22 and never have to clean the barrel! And will pretty much last forever. I also like to plink with my 12 gauge 870 express slug but that's probably weird :/

3220 in a marlin lever, quiet enough to shoot in a suburban setting. bobn
