Caleb's Top 5 All-time rifles
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.
Caleb discusses his picks in more detail on the latest episode of the Gun Nuts Radio podcast.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

Thanx for the kind words.
1. Stg 44- spawned the evolution of intermediate rounds and the assault rifle
2. Mp5- Revolutionized close quarters battle, accurate and small
3. Mg 34/42- Revolutionized squad tactics
4. M1 Garand- Just kicked ass
5. Ak 47- Cheap, realiable, can run it over with a tank, bury it for 5 years and pick it up and fire it
