	I like the Ballard because, mechanicaly it is very unique, I think Charles must have been drunk when he designed his action. Ledball

	There are so many to like for their own reasons and variations. For smoothness, if I open a Bullard, it amazes me how seamlessly and lightly all the functions are carried out, and they generally have really good single stage triggers.

	I did a quick tally of everyone's votes and here are the results. Please note that those of you that voted for more than one, (I like x for bench, y for offhand, and z for hunting...) your votes did not count towards this tally simply because I was not sure how to count them. 1885-2 Ballard-9 Bullard-1 Borchardt-1 Dehass/Miller-1 Hepburn-2 Martini-2 Peregrine-1 Stevens-3 If you include the votes for, "I like X for offhand, Y for bench, etc..." then the Ballard increases its lead even more. It seems that the Ballard is the absolute, runaway favorite. I might need to start looking for one to see what all of the fuss is about.

	But you left the Bullard off, and there's a vote right above your total!

	I had never heard of a Bullard so I just thought that it was a misspelled Ballard! The tally has been changed and now I am off to do some research on a Bullard.

	You left out all my favorite German Schuetzen rifles, but if restricted to good old USA actions, I will vote for HiWall, have 2. Wife has a DST Stevens 044 1/2 she thinks is best. Mike

	There are no restrictions. Vote for whatever you like. The above tally was not a ballot, it was just a tally.

	OK, I'll take you at your word. For me it is Ballards first last and always. I own a few other single shot rifles, but for me the Ballard is IT! chawk wrote on Feb 14^th, 2016 at 6:49pm: There are no restrictions. Vote for whatever you like. The above tally was not a ballot, it was just a tally.

	Ballards are best!

	I like Ballards a lot because the barrels come out easy. Take out the breech block and extractor, remove the forestock and bahzing, easy. Joe.

That's why I like the Stevens so much. Don't have to remove anything at all. Just loosen the set screw, open the action, and (bahzing?).

	Which one do I like best? The one in my hands at the range. I get infatuated as every new one comes along, but keep coming back to Maynards, 1885's, and Ballards Aaron

	Well, my first experiences with single shots were Rugers, a 3 then a 1, and I am fond of both. Then I discovered the old stuff thanks to Marlinguy and some other friends. Now I've got a #2 Ballard, 3 original 1885s and two C. Sharps Arms 1885 repros. My favorite of what I can or do own is the 1885. Unattainable - I'd love to have a Fraser or other fine old single shot from the U.K.

	I don't have a favorite. Well maybe the Winchester Single Shot. . I also like the Stevens 44-1/2, Ballard, Borchardt, and Sharps 1874. It really depends on the type of shooting. Chris.

	My favorites change, I think a Ballard may be best, however a zischang borchardt is what I most lust after😍 Can't go wrong with many of them, really like them all! John
