I don't use a rifle for work anymore. Mine are all for recreation/poss. competition, and home defense. But, I insist on top quality in my gear. I decided a while back that I'd be better served with two or three top quality rigs than a few cheap ones with cheap accessories that could potentially fail.

Carbine classes and fun range time.
I may consider competition in the future but for now, just those two purposes. |

Several of my ARs are for fun at the range, and several others are for training/defensive use. I tend to keep a distinct line between the two types, because several of my range toys have items on them that may not be suitable for defensive use-like lightweight adjustable match triggers for example.

All my rifles are for fun, hunting and just in case. Not necessarily in that order.

For pleasure both in the field and at the range. One is set up for predator hunting and the other personal defense.

3 Gun, home defence, and pleasure
I don't feel the need to waste my money on cheap gear, I would rather buy something that will last a lifetime once. |

Recreation/hobby, HD, and occasional competition as of recently.
As for spending a bunch of money on guns, guilty. But only because I had some cheap stuff in the beginning and learned first hand what quality was. I'm a value guy; I don't sacrifice quality but I also don't own any Noveske or KAC rifles. |

I have a fancy 20'' AR15A2 for competition and a stock 20'' AR15A2 for everything else.
I am also a huge fan of spongebob and need to fix my printer (both of these statements are factually accurate). |

Range, fun, self defense, and general SHTF scenarios. For instance, I live in the south east. We have been ravaged by an outbreak of tornadoes. Thank God that I am not affected. My heart goes out to all that are. But areas not too far from me were hit hard and there are reports of looters. In several instances, almost every police and emergency vehicle in a single town has been destroyed leaving the citizens to fend for themselves the best they can until they can get back up and running. In this situation I can think of no other weapon I would rather have.

I don't "train", I shoot, and not nearly as often as I'd like. I hunt when I can (sometimes with an AR, sometimes not), I go to the range when I can. I haven't done any kind of competition in years.

Work and fun are one in the same for me.
Since I have so many friends with cool rifles, i've only got three basic rifles, a SPR-ish, a 14.5" and a permanently suppressed 11.5" 
All of em get used in competition (one of the benefits of living in WA State: lots of gaming) and get demoed (beat up) for interested parties Like others have noted, most people who use firearms for work, be they .mil, LEO, or private security get their firearms and accessories issued to them. My lonely 14.5" with pinned AAC sits at the top, haha
