So I'm wondering what a guy could get for a fun new gun I have. 303/308/3006/270wsm/7mm08/300wm/338wm/223/and the typical 22s and shot guns what could be a new fun toy or build to start .

I would add 6BR and 30BR if you are looking for light recoil, accuracy type fun. The 30 BR also doubles as a capable deer caliber to moderate ranges.

A semi-auto before they become prohibited. Try a 7.62x39 sks or ruger 10/22 or sr-22 these are fun rifles

i was considering the same thing until i went to the provost gun show and held one this weekend. the bolt is nowhere near smooth but that might get better after use. the main thing is the stock is terrible and it appeared that it didnt fit very well. if i do ever buy one i am buying a boyds stock the same day for sure.
what about a military rifle?
maybe a springfield? or even a mini 14 target? not to mention as of sunday prophet river firearms had both of those firearms.

Have you thought about a traditional percussion or flintlock rifle, nothing says old school like a Hawken .50 cal or larger.

.223 for a fun gun. Flat shooting, no recoil, low report, availability of cheap ammo.

Some might laugh at this one, but the Mosin Nagant in 7.62x54r. Very fun to plink with and practice up on your iron sight skills. Nice hard hitting .30 cal that only costs 30 cents a shot (surplus fmj). The gun is going to run you a whopping $190 however  . I can hammer my mosin all afternoon an it only ends up costing me $20-$30 per outing.

Fun gun
Looks like you have some good shooters so pick up an SKS and a crate or two of ammo. They are fun shooting rifles. Had to buy another after selling my first as I missed shooting it. Fun fun fun!!!!!

Just about everything from a 17 hmr to a 458 wm have been mentioned. First of all we need to know what the op's idea of fun is and what the intended use is.
