I'd rather have a Springfield
One word.
Ping!
Ping!
Here’s an odd duck:
Marlin Camp 45
Another:
AR-15 in 6.8SPC
And:
Winchester 9422
And
Winchester 1892 .357Mag/38Special
These are some of my favorite rifles because they are accurate. Very accurate.

Did Springfield make a 1903 A3?I'd rather have a Springfield
Yeah, I was trying to be funny. Springfield made them.
It looks like you're ahead of the 6.5mm craze with those two classics. The 6.5 PRC doesn't do anything the 264 Win mag can't do, and the 6.5 Creedmore doesn't do anything the 130 year old 6.5x55 can't do.
I sold two 300 Win mags this year. An SX auto and a Sako A7. Both with muzzle brakes. One of those Sako S20s or a Sako 90 Quest would make a nice replacement.
Winchester rolled out pump action centrefires in 308 Win, 30-06 and 300 Win mag. I'm not sure if they have landed in North America yet.
They look like BARs except pump instead of FN autos. Like levers and autos, pumps work well for left handed shooters.
My Benelli M4 SBS, and my KAC/Hodge 11.5 SBR. They both function boringly, and accuracy/patterning for each is excellent. Just good solid kit.
I call BS
Worse, downright dangerous. There is only one muzzleloader I know of that is designed to run smokeless and it's the Savage 10ML. No longer made
I always wanted a HK 45 Compact or Sig 229 .357
My favorite firearm was my old Ruger 10/22. Back then I could buy a brick (1,000 rds) of 22 LR for about $20.

Mine is a Smith Corona, so…
In all honesty favorite gun is like favorite child. Can’t really choose, but here are two that top the list:
First gun, carried in the cockpit during Desert Storm. Still a great shooter: S&W 5906
First Garand, an H&R from the Korean War. Matching parts, including bolt and barrel, from the CMP. A war veteran that is unmolested by “restoration”.

I have shot it several times, I call it "the destroyer". It shot through Ar500 sheet at 50 yards. I included a video in which he quotes 3000 fps, but that was really the low average in testing. I have been there at 3500 FPS, countless times. He does build them and sell them to customers. A close friend of mine. We shoot these all the time. I have a Tradition buckstalker I use smokeless, just so I dont have to clean it.
Not really, it is a pressure game, that is all. Shooting a gun is dangerous, not different than double charging a reload. Below, I am going to list a few references. If you are interested.
Low Pressure 50 Caliber Smokeless Loads in a 209 Factory Muzzleloader, 2 DVD set | eBay
Savage Arms proved over 20 years ago that a factory muzzleloader can use smokeless powder. A retired Science Teacher/Gunsmith/Inventor used a strain gauge glued to a rifle barrel and the Pressure Trace II computer interface to compare the pressures produced by Blackhorn209 propellant to...

me shooting it:
If you are into muzzleloading, this info a data is excellent, and no more corrosive powder, or rusted barrels.

My favorite pistol?
CZ-72
1911 Colt and Sig
"Glock" that has zero Glock parts. (think better grip, slide, barrel)
All my Ruger Black Hawks
They ARE nice to shoot, but favorite because so accurate.

Yes, not really dangerous for someone using an action designed for it and having a pressure setup to ensure pressures are not exceeded.
Nice! Yer a lefty. I knew it!! Hahahhahha
