If you could have only 5 guns...

Just like the right gun for all occasion... Only one set of reloading dies.....

My choices?

1) Springfield M1911
2) Ruger 10/22
3) Remington 870
4) Springfield Scout Squad
5) Ruger Single Six

1) .30.06 BAR, giving up my .300 for more '06 ammo.

2) Springfield Armory M1-A.

3) Remington 700 .223.

4) S&W .357 revolver

5. S&W .22 revolver.

Three's enough.

Ancient S&W Lemon Squeezer .32 came into the family two generations back as a gift from the wife of someone who had found it particularly helpful in overcoming cancer. Nice history should anyone want to ask too many questions.

Mossberg 500 12 ga. cut down to 18-1/8 inch. Nice for walking in the country where hostile critters walk. Handles rifled slugs and sabot rounds in mixed loads quite handily.

Remington .30-06 stainless with modest scope. Easy to maintain; rugged, reliable and not excessively heavy. Proven effective on grizz up to 800#/ungulates up to 1,200#.

I figure those choices would pretty much cover every situation you might encounter.

 

[sealybobo]

I wish I could sell it all and go out with a long range rifle a shotgun and maybe a handgun and a horse and mule and all the gear and go live on top of a mountain in a log cabin next to a creek for fishing and live off the land. I wish they'd come out with another Jeremiah johnson type movie. I wish I could go do it myself. Maybe after my parents are gone I'll head out.

I'm assuming the shotgun handgun and rifle are 3. What are the other 2 you need? Is a 22 or small shotgun one of your 5? If not, besides the shotgun long rifle and handgun do you need?

One should be an automatic weapon? In case you get attacked by a group? Imagine if jerimiah johnson had an ak47.

So what are your other 2? Or what is your 5th gun you think you need?

The Ruger 10/22 would be the .22 and the 700 .270 is a deer rifle that would work just fine as a sniper rifle.
No machine guns though. They waste to much ammo.

So shotgun handgun 22 sniper and what else do you need? And what and how much are you going to use the 22 for? Small game? Because the ammos cheap? You could shoot groundhog opossum squirrel racoon beaver turkey rabbit.

One battle type rifle,a pistol so you'd always have a gun on you. The shotgun for bird and or deer. The deer rifle for hunting large game and two and four legged predators at range.
And the .22 for small game.

What's a battle rifle like a modern day army weapon that holds 20 rounds? I agree one of those would be a must. The deer rifle would be long range kills. Remember Quigley down under with tom selleck? He had a great long range gun but nothing for close combat.
