Just wondering how people find threads that are almost 11 years old?

Dog days of summer. It’s too hot outside.

My buddy that has the big militaria collection says this is hog wash. His top 4 are, MG 34 , M 2, , Browning 1919 and a Maxim

I would switch your last two to a 30-06 with iron sights and a 357 revolver that shoots both the .357 mag and 38 Special.

Oh yes. I had one of them. Early model S/N 3. Not 003 or something else. Just 3
Sabot shot in training, 8500M. God she was a sweet, miss that girl.

Could she shoot a groundhog right outta the den? Gosh, I'd love that.

I can tell you that a wild boar with a HEAT round an night through thermals makes quite an impressive burst. Training round, so inert projectile, but still a big "splash" if you will.

You could place some tannerite next to a hole with some lettuce on top……
Then we could call you Tank!

I just watched a video on youtube about the basic firearms everyone should own and it got me to thinking about what my choices would be. I approached this with the mind set that if I had to choose just only 4 firearms for the rest of my life and these firearms were needed to preform any and every task one would and might encounter thru their lifetime....here they are and here's why...whats your pick

1. Rem. 870 wingmaster 12ga. shotgun. A shotgun is probably one of the most versatile firearms out there. Many things can be hunted with it and the rem. 870 is a proven platform with many,many aftermarket and factory parts available. Could be used for home defense and hunting.

2. Rem 700BDL 30-06. This rifle can pretty much cover everything from varmints to elephants...A huge selection of ammo and again many, many aftermarket and factory parts available. In an all out war situation though it wouldn't fill every niche it would be an awesome all around rifle for hunting and protection.

3. Springfield Armory 1911-A1 in .45cal. what else can i say about the .45...if I had to pick only one pistol this would be it...as far as brand that is up for grabs..personally i have owned several Springfields and have been very pleased with them though there are many, many other companies that make similar quality and even better...If it was only one pistol the .45cal would be it. And you can't even begin to catalog the millions of parts available for the 1911-A1.

4. Marlin Model 39A In my opinion everyone should own a really good 22lr. I personally love the 39A. Shoots shorts,longs,longrifles. So easy to find .22lr ammo and these guns are tack drivers even with just plain ole open sights...Thousands and thousands of game have fallen to the 22lr.

Glock 19 - 9mm, Marlin model 60 - 22lr, Remington 870 pump - 20 gauge, Tikka 708 & 7mm Rem Mag... and a few others....

This stands by my bed. Mossberg 12 gauge, #4 buck shot.
There is a 1911 45 ACP in the drawer.
There is a 2 1/2 inch barrel model 19 Smith & Wesson in my car.

every other firearm I own is for fun.other firearm I have is for fun.

 

[DumpHollow]

Based on the premise of the OP:
- a 22LR bolt action sporter
- a 12 gauge Benelli M2
- a 1911 45 ACP
- a 308 W bolt action sporter

I figure that a good rifleman with a bolt gun can get a 223 AR when you really need one.......

 

[CJ6]

Love that #4 buck Jackie.

A “gun guy” should have:
Twelve gauge pump.
12 and 16 gauge size by side, 20 gauge too, if you can swing it.
3 or 4 22 rifles. Kids always show up in multiples.
An AR 15 in 223. Multiple, in different chamberings is better.
AR-10 in 308
M1A or Garand
Bolt action rifles in 223 , 6br, 6.5-47, 6.5-55 Swede, 308, 30-06 and any kind of Magnum.
An old Mauser.
1903-A3
A couple six guns or 3.
Same with full size automatics. 1911 must be one of them!
Same with compact automatics. Sig 365 and Glock 43 +?

Am I over 4???

Josh you were over 4 with just the Tikka’s.

Oops!!! I forgot to mention the Tikkas!!!!

 

[kzin]

Rimfire Sporter rifle
Smallbore F-Class rifle
AR-Tactical rifle
F-TR rifle

My priorities are different.

 

[Coyotefurharvester]

No particular order Rem 870(12 ga), AR15 (556, or Wyde), double action 38/357, Ruger 10/22.
Side action Glock 17. Should be able to scourge up ammo anywhere to keep at least on running, even in the dark days.
