What?
You think I want to let the snooping ears/eyes of the anti-gun lobby know what I own so that they can demand I turn it/them over when they come a-knockin’ at my door?
Cold . . . dead . . . hands.
Semi-auto rifle - M1A Squad Scout
Shotgun - Ithaca Defensive model. One of the best buys oon the market.
Small calibur rifle - Marlin Model 60
Semi-auto handgun - Nothing beats a good 1911. The Taurus 1911 is one of the best buys. Lots of features at a good price.
Revolver handgun - Anything in 357.
How's the Carbon-15 working out for you? I remember those having some problems before Bushmaster bought the design. Does it use a standard AR bolt and carrier?
My input:
Bolt action rifle: Remington M700 MILSPEC 5R .308
Semi-auto rifle: Springfield Armory M1A .308
Shotgun: Remington M870 Marine Magnum 12 ga.
Small caliber rifle: Marlin Golden 39A .22
Semi-auto handgun: Colt SS Gold Cup .45 ACP
Revolver handgun: Smith & Wesson Model 19 .357 Magnum
FYI - The M700 5R is the most accurate riflr I have ever owned.
No sir, Mr. Brownshirt, sir. I only got a fly swatter for protection.
Bolt action rifle: Savage 110 in .223
Semi-auto rifle: Bushmaster AR-15 A2 style
Shotgun: Mossberg 500
Small calibur rifle: Any stout semi auto .22LR
Semi-auto handgun: 1911-A1
Revolver handgun: Dan Wesson 15-2 6” bbl .357Magnum
If I were limited to only one of these, ammunition commonality and parts availability would change the equation a bit..
Bolt action: Remington 700 (.308)
Semi-Auto: FN/FAL (probably DSA)
Shotgun: Mossberg 590A1
Small cal rifle: 10/22
Semi-Auto H/G: Glock 21
Revolver: Something in 45acp (1917, taurus, etc.)
Having only .308, 12ga, 22lr and .45 to worry about would be helpful.
Without that restriction it would probably be..
Bolt Action: Remington 700 (alt Sig blaser)
Semi Auto: ar15 with LMT MRP & 5.56/6.8SPC barrels
Shotgun: Mossberg 590A1
Small Cal: 10/22
Semi-Auto: Glock 21 (alt USP .45T)
Revolver: S&W / John Ross 500 S&W Magnum
Bolt action rifle - Remington 700 LTR
Semi-auto rifle - AR-15 (Colt or LMT)
Shotgun - Remington 870 (Pick the model to suit your tastes. Prices will vary based on your choice. Whatever you choose, you won’t go wrong.)
Small calibur rifle - Remington Model 5.
Semi-auto handgun - 1911 Government Model (Colt, Kimber, Wilson Combat, Les Baer... take your pick)
Revolver handgun - No clue. I suppose that if I had to own a revolver I’d go for something in .22 LR with a four to six inch barrel.
Congrats! This was a fun thought experiment. I often find gun threads rather pointless but I think you’ve got the makings of a somewhat minimalist battery with your list of categories.
Your list is somewhat subjective... Bolt action, I would assume, is a reach-out-and-touch-someone gun (30.06, 7mm, etc...). Semi-auto *could* be that too, but is generally a close to mid-range gun in my mind, where one might need to pop off several rounds quickly...
Considering brush and whatnot, I would prefer a Marlin Cowboy .45/70 lever action for a mid-range saddle/mountain/brush gun over anything else. Lever-action is more reliable, and quicker than a bolt... And .45/70 is a big honkin' chunk of lead at a low velocity - It doesn't bounce, or deflect, and will knock down just about anything you throw it at.
Bolt action rifle - Remington 700
Semi-auto rifle - SKS
Shotgun - Winchester 1200
Small calibur rifle - Ruger 10/22
Semi-auto handgun - Glock 29
Revolver - S&W 686
Bolt action rifle- McMillan Tac-50
Semi-auto rifle- M1A NM 24”
Shotgun- Atchison AA-12
Small calibur rifle- DPMS AP-4
Semi-auto handgun- Springfield XD .45 ACP
Revolver handgun- S&W .357. Pretty much any of them.
My advice if you shoot: start handloading. Saves a lot of money, it’s fun, and gives you far more flexibility with your weapons. My (entirely hypothetical of course;) battery would be:
Bolt action rifle: Winchester Model 70 .30-06, 2.5-10x scope (.338-06 if sufficient .338 bullets on hand)
Semi-auto rifle: 6.5 Grendel AR M-4 config, 1-4x scope, 20” barrel, spare 5.56 upper
Shotgun: Rem 870 12-gauge with several barrels inc. tactical
Small caliber rifle: Marlin Model 60 .22 LR
Semi-auto handgun: S&W M&P 9mm 18 rd. cap.
Revolver handgun: S&W 629 stainless 5” .44 magnum, dot sight
Bolt action rifle -none- :-(
Semi-auto rifle Used to have a AR Lower Receiver - but I think I lost it in the junk in my garage somewhere
Shotgun - yes – maybe somewhere in my messy apartment or condo or....
Small caliber rifle – no :-(
Semi-auto handgun M1911?? May have sold to my brother ‘Larry’
Revolver handgun – no :-(
Sorry folks, not doing too well here.
Offhand, what are the advantages to a Bolt action and a small caliber rifle?
Bolt action rifle: savage 110fp .308
Semi-auto rifle: browning buckmark rifle
Shotgun: benelli m2
Small calibur rifle: ruger varmint, 22-250 or .220 swift
Semi-auto handgun: either a sig or an STI, full size in .38 super
Revolver handgun: depends on my mood. probably something .44mag that’s extremely accurized. either a freedom arms or a performance center model 29.
You left out my favorite little lever action. My tricked out Puma 92 Carbine in (you guessed it) .45Colt
