Mine

That would be my nef handi rifle.
Actually I take good care of all my guns except that
one. It shoots good still, but the stock is a mass of dings and
scratches. The barrel and reciever is equally abused. I've
dragged it up so many hillsides and sat stand with it in so
many rain storms that lets just say "it has character".
Hey I bought it for this treatment.

Another would be my old beater. A savage model 10 243 that
I got from someone for $150 who didn't like the 243 for deer.
Hint: don't ever try to do custom stock carving using a buck knife
while you sit deer stand. I had a lovely mural that was
supposed to be a guy shooting a deer but acually looks like
a monkey sticking a baseball bat up a cow's a**.

I restocked and rebarreled it to 7mm-08 and it shoots and
looks great.
