Your favourite Milsurp rifle

My favorite milsurp that I own right now would be my K31, fantastic rifle that's very accurate and a pleasure to shoot.

Of all time? I've always loved the MP-40 for some reason.

Is it wrong that this gun is giving me a stiffy? Nicest T99 I have seen, but go put some lead down range they are great shooters!
 
That I own/have owed:
1) My first gun of all...Ljungman AG-42B (first to suggest it too!) Funky engineering around a fantastic cartridge.
2) the Vz24 I got from my father (he had a scope mounted in early 60's...might be preclusive)
3) I just acquired a Chilean 1912(re-barreled to .308)...it's going to have to prove it's worth over my [now sold] Mauser 96

Haven't had a chance to shoot:
1) a .57 snider, complete with 3 sided bayo (hung on a great-uncle's wall) now tucked at a cousin's
2) G43
3) K31
 
My favorite milsurp is a DWM Berlin 1909 Argentine Mauser.
I picked it out of a pile of 1909 Mausers at LeBarons in the early 1990's.
The action was slick and smooth, and it grouped as well as the Swedes.

When I took it to a Vintage Rifle shoot and won, they gave me the prize - a plaque with a Picture of a Lee Enfield and "Top shot - .303" on it :p

Sadly, when the gun registry was first proposed, I sold it off cheap to a guy in a parking lot in Saskatchewan.

For nearly 15 years I regretted the sale, until a couple of years ago I bought another 1909 from an estate sale in BC that was listed on CGN. When I got the rifle, I couldn't believe it, checked the serial number - I had bought my old rifle back! She still shoots great.
