The first rifle I had in the Army was an M14. Loved...LOVED that damned rifle. When we transitioned over to the M16 - I wasn't impressed. Then I began humping it through the bush and the mud. I began to like it.
Bought a M1A around 7 years ago and I love to take it to Wyoming to shoot long range. It, My 700 and my AR10 are my favorite "long rangers"....
*Ooops*. Forget to mention the 7mm Mauser - God I love shooting that old girl!
