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.....?

When I pass, do not let my wife sell the guns for what I told her they cost.

OK Obama sends his SS to your house and you could only keep one gun!  If you could only have ONE!  You can kill everything with a shotgun, thats why I picked it.

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.
