What's your favorite semi-auto centerfire rifle?

[Maverick44]

I love my ARs, and they are the most practical rifles I own, but damned if shooting my FAL doesn't always put a smile on my face.

I had been issued the HK and Cetme G3s, G36 and MG3 and am happy with an AR carbine. I never liked the G3 and considered even the G36 an improvement, as long as the G36 wasn't shot until it got too hot. The HK G3 only needed to put 3 rounds into a ring of 16cm (6.3") diameter to be considered serviceable.
When the Bundeswehr transitioned to the G36, more soldiers qualified and scores improved and that scope on the G36 is crappy, too.

That scope is as laughable the G36 with its barrel anchored in plastic!

 

[QB TOO]

My IWI Tavor SARs (5.56 and 9mm). Second place is my IWI X95.

Most grins to shoot- 16” 450 Bushmaster AR

That would be a grin maker. Probably an ear splitter too - especially with a brake on the end

Title asked the question.

Mine is the HK91 / G3 (would extend to all the HK roller lock designs and the predecessor, CETME) - I just like the way they handle, the way they shoot. I'd *almost* donate one of my testicles to have an honest to God G3. I'm done havin' kids anyway

You might lose both if you get in the way of that 200mph brass coming out of the ejection port. LOL!

Yeah, they say that little rubber cover for the ejection port helps, but I don't notice a difference. It still caves in the side of the shell casing.

 

[Coop45]

I really like those. I'd love one from Czechpoint but they're spendy and nearly unobtanium.

Expensive and out of stock.

Big ol honking 2 port brake, it’ll blow your hair back.

Yeah, nothing kicks brass like a G3 does! I don't reload, so the dented / dinged up brass never bothered me. The friend who sold that gun to me said he was glad to get rid of it, as it beat him up to shoot. I thought it odd, because he was my size, roughly the same build, only he had gorilla paws, where as I have big palms but stubby skinny girly fingers - otherwise we were similarly built and he had a couple guns that "kicked his ass" that I found incredibly fun / pleasant to shoot - the HK clone was one, the other, oddly enough was a KelTec P40 - that was one of the few .40's I enjoyed, and the only KelTec I ever gave a damn about. The KelTec went away in a trade for a Sig P220 (I traded the Kel Tec and an XD9 for the P220) - my friend I think was just a pussy.

I won't tell what my bil paid for his back in the day. Of course, in six months it slipped through his fingers for something else.

I shoot faster and more accurately with that gun than most do with a semi.

Growing up shooting a lever gun, I find I shoot one better than anything else.

I can’t say my HK 91 beats me up, but it certainly does a number on the brass. I usually leave that brass laying right where it landed, 50 yards away.

 

[motorcarman]

I guard my right flank with both my HK91 and my PTR91.

 

[grumper]

I wish I had a HK91

Some variation of an AR. I did my Army gig starting at 17 with one (M16A1), shot competitively with another (a highly tuned M16A2) with the AMU, carried a couple in combat (M4s and M16A2s) and had one in my patrol car (M4 variation) before I retired. Lots of rounds downrange with them. Having a clean and zeroed M4/M16 and lots of ball ammo is a beautiful thing when going in harm's way.

It's even more fun when you are shooting someone else's M-16 and there are privates loading magazines. One of my DI's from MCRD worked the range so he got to show off one of his turds. LOL!!

My scar 17 is my fav to shoot followed by a good quality barreled ar15.
