Caleb has posted his picks top all time rifles:

The M1 Garand

The Ruger 10/22

The AR-15 family

The ‘98 Mauser family

The Brown Bess Musket

It is hard for me to argue with his picks. I think the addition of the 10/22 is interesting. While it is a cliché, I think the AK-47 should be included. Regardless of what you think of the gun itself, it is probably the most influential rifle of the past 60 years. I would replace the Brown Bess with the AK.
