Guns that make you go "meh"

[Welder]

I own / have owned a lot of these, and I might get kicked out of the country for naming some of them, but...they aren't my favorites.

AR's
Winchester lever actions
10/22's
Remington 700's
Weatherby Vanguards
Rolling Blocks
Polymer Frame Pistols
Tubular Magazine .22's
Single-Action Revolvers
Thompson/Center Contenders
H&R Single-Shot Rifles
Single-Shot Shotguns
Over/Under Shotguns
AK's
SKS's
Mosin Nagants
Benchrest Rifles
.17 Rimfires
Any rifle magnum designed in the last 40 years or so
The 'standard' rifle cartridges - .223, .308, .30-06, .243, .270, .22-250, .300 and 7mm Mags
.40 S&W, .45 ACP
M14 / M1A's

In my defense, I mainly like oddball stuff. If I had to pick some of my favorite rifles in my safe, I'd be pulling out a few '09 Argentine Mausers, some vintage Rem target .22's from the 37 to the 40X time period, an Anschutz Super Match 1613, or a Ruger No. 1 in .450/400. Or if handguns, some Beretta 92's or S&W K and N frames.

I'm not "meh" about any gun. If it chambers a round, I'll shoot it.

I love shooting pistols! I have a real passion for them, but damn, if you have any type of gun and ammo, I'm all over it.

I can understand that, but I'm way more excited about any Beretta 92/S&W K frame/odd pre-War automatic over any modern striker fired plastic framed fo-tahy, or any number of modern Remchester black stocked bolties in the caliber of the moment.

I don't have much interest in small semiauto defensive "mouse" guns in small calibers.

Some people say they are better than a sharp stick. I remain unconvinced and would choose the stick.

It's a soul thing.

One thing I've learned over the years of selling, buying, shooting, and collecting guns - There is no one factor that predicts what someone likes.

I've also found that tastes change over time. A decade ago, you couldn't have convinced me to buy an AR15. Today, I own one and I'm building another and I've realized it is one of the best rifle platforms out there. But...the vast majority of AR15s are boring to me. There is nothing exciting about most AR15s to me. But then there is the occasional exception...Noveske Infidel Gen III and 16" Gen IIIs in general, HK MR556, LaRue OBR 7.62. Something about those rifles...I like them. The selection of parts to optimize both aesthetics and performance. That makes me happy.

But certain things never go out of style...accuracy and reliability. Broken guns and guns that I can shoot to the limits of their mechanical accuracy in short order are "meh" guns. I get it Cletus, your Remington 710 in 7mm Rem Mag is the most accurate and powerful gun on the planet and you want everyone to know it...The fact that it shoots hand-sized groups at 100-yards doesn't bother you. For some of us, that's a gun best converted to be a lamp or maybe a table leg...

I know why most "meh" guns make my list. They break or they can't shoot straight...

Are we talking guns of quality? Because all shitty guns make me go "meh"

As far as quality firearms go:

HK anything.

Open division guns.

Most modern s&w revolvers and their Ruger counterparts.

3rd gen Smith's

Guns designed specifically for shooting trap.

Otherwise I'm pretty chill with any quality firearm.
