There is no one "Best" of any firearm- depends on what you want to do. I have some Mossberg target rifles from the 1940s that are incredibly accurate benchrest rifles- but they would make very poor hunting rifles due to the sights, the slow reloading, and the weight- almost twice what a light sporter weighs.
