If you could only own 1 gun what would it be?
« on: August 30, 2008, 08:14:44 PM »
Mine is my 12 ga 870,  It has killed more deer,bear,turkey and critters than anything else!  I do use a Hastings rifled barrel with a penyax light seeker II on it for big game. Shotgun is the all around killer!

I'm assuming you are speaking for yourself? Are you asking about a single "hunting" gun or just one gun to own for any reason?

You are right on the encore's but you are limited to a single shot!  I know that's all it take for big game most of the time but it is nice to have the multiple shot you must admit!

It would have to be my plane jane beat-up dinged Rem 700 in 7mm mag.  No doubts out to 400yds.  Clover leaf at 100yds.  Or....would it be that .22 single shot?  Or would it be that 686.....?

Savage 24F-12.  12 gauge/30-30 over under combo.  One gun covers all bases.  If were talking rifles only, 300 win mag.

I think my 44 mag  Marlin 1894.  I think it'd be handy for home protection, as it holds 10 in the tube.  And, it's not a bad deer gun.

It hurts to think about.

If it comes down to having all of them taken but one I am assuming we have given up all hunting rights as well.

At that point I want my mini 14 with as many 50 round clips as I can round up.  :chuckle:

If we can still hunt I would say over and under rifle shotgun combo.

I would have a custom rifle built along the lines of the ruger alaskan but in 30/06. Really good adj. sights, quick detach rings. and probably a luepold vxIII 2.5x8 or maybe 1.75x6 or maybe even a fixed 6. 20" heavier than normal stainlees steel barrel, laminate stock (pepper gray) I have actully been thinking of haveing a gun built on those lines as it is just cause I like the concept.

I would take out the SS and take their guns so I could have more :IBCOOL:

But if I had to choose it would be an AR in 308.

I can shoot 150 yards with the 870 and the Hastings rifled barrel.  My buddy dumped a blacktail from 16 yards with it.  I wont shoot at a bear over 100 with it.
