I like my Mak90 also, but I'd have to say that my favorite is the first gun that I ever shot, a Winchester 1906 .22lr pump rifle. 
My grandpa bought it new just before he went into the army for WWI.  I'll keep shooting that gun til the day I die.  Still very accurate considering the many thousands of rounds that have been through it.
Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety.

My Remington 721 in .270 ...... sentimental value (inherited it from my Grandfather), plus I have far more trigger time with that than any other gun I have....

I would have to say my old H&R single shot 20 gauge is my favorite gun. My dad gave it to me for Christmas when I was a little kid, and I wouldn't even want to guess the number of boxes of shells I have burned up with it. I still use it, and so do my kids.

oldbikewrench, I have been wanting a 10FP for a long time. Gonna pick me one up eventually.

Used to have a Dan Wesson (model 22 I think) 22lr. that was in a massive frame.  Still looking to replace it after my worthless stepbrother pawned that one.

I've had more fun with my 10/22 than I can even describe.

For the moment, it's the Glock 30, baby.  That's my carry as well as for my very limited competition (only recently done the Rock Your Glock thing).

Having said that...thanks to CZ, I've tried his Glock 21 at the last RYG...and that puppy is on my wish list.

Not into rifles....and only into .45s for the handguns.

SAM7?  Wasn't that a COMBLOC shoulder fired AA missile?  Kinda like a poor man's Stinger?

How about a Russian M44. It kicks like a mule, has a big fireball, is cheap and, just plain fun to shoot. Oh and theres also the funny looks you get at the range.

Man O Man, asking me which firearm is my favorite is like asking "Ginger or Mary Ann" but I will try and break it down by type.

Hand gun;
I have a High Standard HD Military that can put 10 rounds into a paper plate at 100 yds.
My Kimber .45 ACP is one of my CC's.
My Smith & Wesson Airlite .38 is my other CC and hides away very nicely.

Rifle;  Here's where it gets tough.
Dead on unbelievable accuracy is my CZ 453 caliber .22 has a single set trigger and Nikon 3x9x40 scope.
Hunting rifle is a Thompson Encore Pro Hunter in caliber .308 with a Nikon 3x9x40.
Competition rifle is an old Schmidt Ruben 7.5x55 that I have mounted a Burris 2.75 Scout scope on.
Just plain fun rifle is my 1898 30-40 Krag which was built in 1900.  It's all original and about as pristine as a 100+ year old rifle can get.

Shotgun;
This one is a no brainer, it's my Browning Citori Feather Lightening 12 Ga. I've never had a shotgun fly to my shoulder as quick and it does.
Don't pick a fight with an old man.  If he's to old to fight, he'll just kill you.
