Just venturing a guess.. but it sorta looks like a Mosin-nagant... which was 7.62x54R

But something about that forend is strange...

2 out of 3 not bad
who can tell me what model theres another +1 up for grabs

M44

Yep, Splat is correct it is a 1944 Mosin-nagant. The 'strange forend' seems to be the folded bayonet.

Well, are you eternally happy now that you've shot an M14?

Haha, I've shot it numerous times, but yes, each time I shoot it, I am still eternally happy.

M107 is the military M82A1 is the civ.

The Barrett Firearms Manufacturing, Inc. of Murfreesboro, TN developed the first version of the M82 in 1982, followed by the M82A1 improved version in 1986. In 1987, the M82A2 "bull-pup" version was introduced, designed to be fired from the shoulder as an anti-aircraft weapon. That design was not successful and was soon dropped. For the Gulf War, starting in 1990-91, Special Operations Forces became interested in the Barrett M82A1. During Operation Desert Storm, the U.S. Military purchased the M82A1 for both the Army and the Marine Corps, as well as small numbers for other services, under the nomenclature "Special Applications Scoped Rifle (SASR)". Although used as an anti-personnel or anti-matériel sniper weapon, for Operation Desert Shield/Storm the M82A1 rifles were intended to be employed by U.S. Army Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) units to safely detonate ordnance from a safe distance.

The M82 family advanced with the M82A1M rifle, called M82A3 SASR by the Marine Corps who have procured it in quantity.

In the mid-to-late 1990's, U.S. Army requirements for a new heavy sniper rifle were formalized by the Infantry Center at Fort Benning, GA, developed in conjunction with snipers from the U. S. Army Special Operations Command and the Army Sniper School. After initial consideration of bolt action rifles, they eventually selected the M82A1M/M82A3 for Army use, redesignated the M107 by the Army. There are some slight differences between the M107 and the M82A3, changes the Army specified to improve durability and reliability.

The Barrett M82 rifles were commercially successful, procured by military and police agencies in the United States and many other countries.

All my dads M82a1 say "Military and Law enforcement Use Only Barrett Firearms Manufacturing, Inc. of Murfreesboro, TN" His M107's don't.  His newest M82a1 CQB says it also.  So there for it lead me to believe the M82 were military and the M107 models were CIV.

here are some pics of me and red shooting our rifles on spring break.  red has a savage .243 and i have a marlin 30/30.  and red is shooting my moms 38 special

What kind of grips are those on the 1911?

Look like Pachmayr American Legend grips to me.

You are correct Inked. I do not have them on there now as I went to something else since that picture was taken. I'll see about getting an updated pic of my family.
OK, went ahead and updated the family photo. Of course I got a close-up of my pride and joy.
