Title: If you could only own 1 gun what would it be?
Post by: BC CHASER 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?

Post by: BC CHASER on August 30, 2008, 08:21:06 PM: If you legally were only allowed to own one. Sorry!

Post by: BC CHASER on August 30, 2008, 08:45:07 PM: 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!

Post by: 300rum on August 30, 2008, 10:02:17 PM: 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.....?

Post by: PolarBear on August 30, 2008, 10:47:24 PM: Savage 24F-12. 12 gauge/30-30 over under combo. One gun covers all bases. If were talking rifles only, 300 win mag.
Title: Re: If you could only own 1 gun what would it be?
Post by: PWN Kurt on August 30, 2008, 11:02:27 PM: 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.

Post by: wastickslinger on August 30, 2008, 11:25:28 PM: 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.

Post by: jdb on August 31, 2008, 08:59:36 PM: 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.
Title: Re: If you could only own 1 gun what would it be?
Post by: BC CHASER on September 02, 2008, 06:45:02 PM: 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.
Title: Re: If you could only own 1 gun what would it be?
Post by: bucklucky on September 02, 2008, 08:58:19 PM: Probably my 1963 Belgium Browning 308 Norma Mag. With my 300 mag a close second :chuckle: I figure I have my bow to kill birds and rabbits with ;)
Title: Re: If you could only own 1 gun what would it be?
Post by: Sagedawg on September 02, 2008, 09:20:12 PM: If I ever manage to get one built it will be a 6.5X 284.
