The rifle you enjoy the most?

Easy for me. My Kimber of Oregon .223 SSV (single shot varmint), because it shoots practically everything into tiny groups, it's classic + nice looking (to me anyway) , lightweight. semi beavertail forearm. fwiw.
get a 6BR tho. :)
 
While I thoroughly enjoy shooting my 28" 6BR I've had a long time love affair with the Swift. There's just something about the Swift that always puts a smile on my face.
 
most satisfying: savage 99E in 308 with williams sights.

most entertaining: RPK

I enjoy what I can DO with my match rifles, but I don’t enjoy shooting them as much as the wood and blued steel rifles.
 
16# 22-250 AI w/75s @ 3550. No noticeable recoil and Lazer like trajectory. 6.5-284 is runner up.

I really enjoy shooting my 22 LR's but since this was specified as a centerfire question the answer is my Cooper Classic (sporter) in 223.
It is unbelievably accurate, light, balances and handles perfectly, but the best par of it is that it just hits everything I point it at. I am not big into naming firearms but I sometimes refer to is as - Never Miss. It goes with me practically everywhere, I keep it in an unzipped case laying on the back seat of my pickup - much to the dismay of a lot of varmints.

LOL. Snert, I may not be smart enough to figure out your implications!
Hey rookie, I think the answer is between toilet paper and the period at the end. For me I use toilet paper in the field and occasionally put the roll on my .223 barrel like a dispenser.They are both handy to have.
 
There’s a difference between favorite and enjoyable. I’ll go back to my earlier post about my Panda, etc. and come back to my favorite. That would be my Army Sniper M14. It got me back home. My most enjoyable is the Panda.
 
Most enjoyable, well I am going to buck the trend. Upon retirement, I began a quest to make all my rifles shoot their best. Like to think I have been successful. Except for one. An old 721 Remington action with a wildcat 25-06 barrel. Bought it cheap from a fellow shooter back in the late 70's cheap, along with dies, brass, bullets and a 2.5x8 Leupold scope. As a deer rifle it is OK, but no tack driver. Recently pillar bedded, glassed, and refinished a 700 ADL stock bought off Ebay. Mounted a 4x12AO Leupold on it, along with a Timney trigger. Now that the weather is getting nicer, I plan to see if I can teach it to fly. If that fails, I will re-barrel. Just my twisted form of entertainment. My current favorite is a Bat actioned 6BRA. Must have been born with an extra weird gene, because while I have modern high end o/u's, I get my biggest smiles from shooting my Model 12 for trap and my Model 42 for skeet. Further down the rabbit hole, I like revolvers. Kids all have Mathews bows but I still hunt with a Martin Cougar Magnum- at least its not a recurve. "Enjoyable" could be a function of where you are on the journey. Just enjoy the journey.
