Title: 4 guns
Post by: jackelope on February 05, 2010, 01:16:35 PM: I saw this on another forum and thought it was kind of a cool topic for discussion.
If you could only have 4 guns and it didn't matter what they were, what would your 4 choices be....they can be rifles, pistols, shotguns, muzzleloaders, etc. whatever.
I think mine would be a full size Kimber custom .45, a 28" remington 870 12 gauge, a ruger 10/22 and a savage bolt rifle in 300 win mag.

Christensen? Only with a premium cut rifled barrel liner, right? You know those button rifled shilen "match" liners are lower grade - they don't even use the select match liners. Wonder why they have so many accuracy problems? Great caliber, though. My buddy has one on a Nesika Bay action.

Ruger Mk III Hunter
Taurus Ti 4" 41 mag
Ruger Hawkeye Alaskan 375 Ruger
Contender w/ 14" 410 barrel

If it were any 4 guns at all I'd only change the Taurus to a S&W 329PD 44mag, and maybe go from the Contender to a quality SxS 12ga.

Post by: JackOfAllTrades on March 24, 2010, 11:09:04 AM: I like Jackalope's original list, since I have three of the four he listed. Then I got to reading other posts and thinking..

While I love my Kimber Stainless II, I would go for a Series 70 Colt Gold Cup National Match.

My Ruger 10-22 is not quite stock any more and is some serious fun to plink with, I'd have to customize it some more in order to put it in that category. But I'll leave it on the list but I could substitute a camp carbine in 45acp.

I have a Remington 870 12ga 3" mag with very nice wood and bluing. I'd have to get it a barrell with interchangable chokes. So it stays on the list as well.

For a rifle.. that's a tough one.. While I charish a bolt guns accuracy. The lever guns versatility... If I could only have one high power rifle, then it would have to be an accurate evil black repeater in a caliber that I could still hunt big game with. Something like the DPMS Panther™ LR-308.
