Re: What is the most popular model of rifle in Amerika
I would say that, for consumer sales (sold in the U.S. to U.S. consumers), it probably reports as such:
Greatest overall sales, regardless of caliber, bolt action: Remington Model 700 Series
Greatest overall sales in a semi-automatic: Armalite (specifically) AR-15 .223
Greatest overall sales in lever action: Winchester Model 94 in .30-30
Greatest overall sales in shotgun: Remington model 870*
* The Remington 870 is undoubtedly one of the most popular, though Remington may not be able to claim the prize on this one. The Mossberg 500 has sold in almost as great a quantity in the last 10 years to rival the sales of the Rem 870, largely due to it's popularity with criminals and the home-defense crowd.
