Well, let's see. The guns I actually enjoy shooting for fun. A pair of 1858 replica .44 Remington revolvers. A TC Hawken .50 muzzle loader. As much a peice of decorative furniture as a gun.
The gun I have with which I have gotten the most game? A .250 Savage, model 99e. Handloaded, 117 grain, standard powder load.
The rifle I have that I would choose for long terms survival, if I only had the choice of one. A Mossberg 640KD .22 magnum. The ammunition weighs very little, and that gun is a nail driver out to 200 yards.
Shotgun? Well, I have one, a single shot 12, chambered for 3" magnum shells, 36" barrel, full choke. It weighs about 3 lbs, and I only use magnums for geese. Nothing smaller is worth the pain. Used to hunt pidgeon and grouse with low base. Haven't shot it in years. Another thing that will change shortly.
