CETME chambered in 7.62X51 NATO. Fun Semiautomatic rifle. Fairly accurate. Very cheap HK surplus magazines, ~$4.00 per 20 rounder. If you know what to check before you buy, they're good rifles.
My DPMS Sweet 16 chambered in .223 Rem. It's called a Sweet 16 because the barrel is 16" long. I've had optics on it, but it's usually more fun with the detachable sights. If I ever do get serious about shooting with this one, I'll probably stick a Magpul PRS buttstock on it. Fun as hell to shoot.
Swiss K31 chambered in 7.5 Swiss service cartridge. Probably my favorite surplus rifle. This was the standard service rifle of the Swiss military for 25 years. It uses a unique straight pull mechanism for very fast bolt operation. The fit an finish of these rifles is unsurpassed. Russian Mosin Nagants feel like primitive war clubs compared to these. They're superbly accurate with standard, match-grade surplus GP-11 ammuntion. 1" groups at 100 yards are easily accomplished with open sights.
My Sig Sauer P220 chambered in .45acp. It's built like a tank, shoots where you aim it and is dead reliable. The only thing I dislike is the relatively high bore axis. It tends to have a little more muzzle flip than I like in .45s but the Hogue grip really helps keep it under control. It's got one of my favorite triggers, breaks like glass.
