If you could have only 5 guns...

[WinterBorn]

This started as an internet discussion on another site. But I thought I'd bring it here.

My choices?

1) Springfield M1911
2) Ruger 10/22
3) Remington 870
4) Springfield Scout Squad
5) Ruger Single Six

two 357 magnums
38 special
shotgun
22 rifle

It's important because I love each and every one for a reason. Not five only a couple.

My Hawken. Means everything to me. From the way she pushes on my shoulder. From the way she reminds me these are the early days. From the smell. From making me feel like I count. She's something to me.

Boy this is hard because I've loved a lot of guns in my time. But hey. I'm a Boone. My family would kill me if I didn't put up the one. I would be toast.

Two M-60's with ten extra barrels and 10,000 rounds
A late issue M-16 (with functioning automatic mode) and 5000 rounds
A thumper with 400 rounds
An XM-14 with Zeiss scope and 400 rounds of match ammo

Of course that's just for my home bunker. If we're moving around the landscape, I'd whittle it down to the M-16 and 300 rounds plus the thumper and 20 rounds.

One of my favorite places on earth guys is in Tennessee. Smoky Mountain Knife Works. Any of you guys been there? It is to die for.

Questions like these are usually asked on survival forums where everyone thinks they will be humping it with 10 guns and thousands of rounds of ammo. You could not carry five weapons plus ammo for any considerable distance. My selection would be at most three. A pistol and ether a rifle with a .22 conversion or a breakdown scout.

smokey mountain knives outside of townsend tn?

i will always go with a sawed off and a .22 rifle....the other 3 would just be extra weight

He didn't say anything about carrying 5 weapons, he said "have" 5 weapons.

Yeah, I am not ashamed to say I would shed a tear for a few of my other guns. You get attached. lol

Right. This is not necessarily what I would carry, but what I would have.

And there is no mention of accessories. I have a Remington 870 on my list. I happen to own 2 barrels for an 870. I am assuming I have both barrels and accessories. So it covers hunting and I still have my defensive shotgun.

 

[strollingbones]

ahhh i would take a browning semi belgium made 12 gauge

 

[strollingbones]

and a desert eagle......

Wouldn't a gun with an interchangeable barrel system be more efficient? Like the T/C Encore? Sure, it might be a bit slower, but the Remington 700 isn't exactly a speed demon.

I am not arguing your choice. Just discussing options.
