I personally don't care much for most repeating actions, bullpups, cheap pot metal guns, and single action revolvers.

Shotguns bore me. I just have no interest in shooting them. If I’m going to deal with excessive recoil, I want a heavy rifle bullet that can go to 300 yards or more. Trap shooting is okay, just to get out with the guys and do something, but otherwise I never shoot them.

PCC’s from a utilitarian point of view. Pistol calibers should be reserved for concealing. If I can carry a PCC, I’m going with an SBR. Although, they are very fun as a range toy.

I know i'm going to hell for this, but I'm not a 1911 fan. They shoot great generally, but I'm just not a fan. Big and clunky.  . Flame on.I don't care for ARs and AKs in modern garb. They work excellent and I would want one if I went back into combat, but I just prefer the M-16A1 and AK-103 and AK-74 as used in the 80's era Cold War and back. I prefer metal pistols, carried and used a Colt Commander and BHP since 1968, switching just recently to a VP9 and G48 after extended testing. I like the size and "handiness" of the G48 for CCW. Hunting rifles and shotguns I do prefer blued steel and wood, tho my most used rifle is in a laminated stock now. Model 70 in 7mm/08. and Remington 1100 16ga are my favored two. I see and recognize the modern toy looking plastic and camo guns being used by some to hunt are just as effective and the person is happy with it I'm happy. Let the person enjoy his possessions! |

DA/SA autos, just never did much for me. I like the trigger pull to be the same each and every time. Give me cocked and locked SA, DAO or Striker.
Mil-surp bolt actions, some people love them, if I could have gotten something back when they were dirt cheap I may feel different. .308 battle rifles, I had FALs, got rid of them when the Scar17 came out. Most of them are heavy and awkward with no easy way to mount optics. I have a Scar 17, but it mostly sits in the safe. Haven’t shot it in 4 years probably. |

Revolvers, bull pups, any semi-auto with a da/sa trigger, and overly engraved decorative pieces.
The decorative, "collectors", guns are probably the biggest 'don't care for' for me. I don't see the point in a tool that's not meant to be used. This is different from guns that are actually collectable, so they don't get used that often. |

Modern bolt-action rifles that aren’t anti-materiel. A bolt-action .338 or .50 seems fine to me, but any smaller calibers can be had in semiauto, and i see no appeal whatsoever to a bolt-action version of them. The first rifle I owned was a Remington 700, and i got bored really quick. I learned on an Anschutz .22 in a local marksmanship program for teens, and I enjoyed that, but once i stepped up to a .308, it had no appeal to me; the .22 was more fun. I quickly bought a PTR91FR, which i feel is far superior to, and much more fun than, the R700. Modern semiauto rifles are much more fun and more user-friendly than a bolt action rifle IMHO.
Old bolt action rifles, i love. My prized possession is my unissued BRNO-prototype Iranian Mauser. I’ll never shoot it, as the blueing is perfect and the wood is immaculate. It looks brand new, not 90 +years old. Old bolt action rifles are fun to shoot, because it feels historic. Collectible ones are neat because of the story they tell and history they carry. Modern ones are bland, boring, and don’t have much appeal if any over semiauto rifles chambered in the same caliber. Why would i have an R700 with 4-round internal magazine, when i can grab my PTR91FR which is more accurate out of the box, holds 5x the ammo in detachable mags, has iron sights (which most modern bolts dont), and is way easier and faster to use? Lever guns are fun, semiauto is fun, but modern bolt action rifles bore me. That’s why I dont care for modern bolt action rifles in hunting-caliber or smaller loadings. |

Not really a fan of shotguns (of any type) or modern day bolt action rifles. I own one shotgun because I think it looks cool but I hardly ever shoot it. I'm not a long range marksmen or a hunter so modern day bolt action rifles do nothing for me (but I do love milsurp). I also find striker fired polymer handguns boringly utilitarian and mostly soul-less but I have owned a few in the past that I wouldn't mind owning again.

I have no interest in any of the following:
Sporting rifles, weather they be new Savages or old Remchesters. Lever action rifles, though I suspect if someone handed me a handy .45-70 I’d be in trouble. Muzzleloaders or anything that doesn’t fire a fixed cartridge. Those asinine .410 revolvers, regardless of who makes them. Shotguns in general. I have one and occasionally enjoy busting clays, though. I honestly find most of the new whiz-bang, gotta-have-it-or-you’re-a-nobody, consumer culture, operator as fuck stuff pretty loathesome. Cheap, poorly made guns that don’t work. Things like Tec-9s, ZIP-22s, Llamas, etc “Modern” 1911s Single action revolvers "Race" guns Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not a hater. These “categories” of guns just in general don’t hold any interest fore me. I’m glad they’re there for those that do. This passion would be boring if we all liked exactly the same stuff. If you would’ve asked me this question 15 years ago you’d see a lot more stuff on that list that I am now into. Who would’ve guessed that I would develop a bid soft spot for .22LR DA Revolvers?...but man, they’re so much fun. |

Anything that's heavier than it should be....heavy barrels, wood furniture(except for my Garand, it's a kinky thing!), metal recievers and parts that could be plastic, or steel instead of aluminum, revolvers, etc.... I just think that they aren't well made/made as well as they could be and a holdover from the past for no reason. I like the shortest, lightest, easiest to use and take apart simple firearms. Benelli shotguns for hunting, Glocks, lightweight AR's for HD and hunting, and lightweight bolt action hunting rifles.
I also dislike that in the past when I was young and dumb I paid good money for dumb, heavy guns that weren't practical and that I could have used that money on better gear only because they were "classics". AK's, an 870 with wood that rusted the first time I took it hunting, a m700 with a chunky barrel for hunting, an AR with a 24" HBAR, a Ruger P90 pistol, 2! AUG's that I really liked but were almost twice the weight of an AR, etc... I'll keep my Garand until death, but it's only for fun. I have no real specific "use" for it. I have a better rifle for HD and hunting, and it's not cheap to shoot so it just sits in my safe. It's my only gun just for fun. |

This was a very interesting thread to read. Oddly, the types of guns that I don't care for has changed over the years.
- When I was young I really liked World War 2 rifles/handguns but then I decided I liked modern more. Years later I obtained a C&R license so I could collect milsurps. For the past 20 years I wouldn't be interested in one at any price. - I don't like "cheap" guns. I'm not referring to the price I'm referring to the quality. For example, I'm not interested in anything made by KelTec (I've had enough of their junk to know better). Another example would be a Marlin 60. I liked them when I was young, but nowadays I'd rather have a TACSOL X-Ring or at minimum a CZ455. - I don't like goofy designs. A perfect example is that horrid Chiappa Rhino revolver monstrosity. I hate guns that look like movie props. - I wouldn't buy someone's "garage project" for any price. I don't want an AR built by an "expert" in his basement. I'll stick with BCM, Colt, DD, LMT thank you. This also applies to 1911s. If you've modified it ... I don't want it. - I don't want used guns. In fact, I won't buy used. I've had tons of guns and too many of them were misrepresented. Its worth the "new car premium" to me for a new gun. - I've been love / hate on bullpups. I finally sold my last four of them last year. I'll never go back. Three trips on that merry-go-round was enough. Anyone need a couple of AUG mags? - Roller Locked. I've had lots of HK guns over the years including real HK94s. I'm done with them. I kept thinking of more stuff I don't like and the list would be huge. Its actually easier for me to say what I do like (as the list is small): I do like: + Quality DI AR-15s (BCM, Colt, DD, LMT) + Top End 1911s (Les Baer, Wilson Combat, etc.) + Beretta 92 Series + Ruger 10/22 (including TACSOL X-Ring) + Benelli M1/M2/M3 + Quality Bolt Actions (CZ, Ruger 77 Hawkeye, Tikka, Winchester) Wow, I'm a simple guy. |
