I'm sure (I hope) to get a range of responses to this thread.

I've owned hand guns and long guns of all types. Handling them is not an issue.

Unfortunately the ones I've had were lost in a boating accident.

I'm looking to replace the ones I had with three or four that compliment each other.

Thanks for posting. I had a similar event happen to me so I will be interested in all of the responses as well.

A .22 did kill Robert Kennedy.

I see what you did there.
nice job getting folks more focused.

As far as complimenting each other and for SHTF utility when the gun stores close down, I thought it prudent to get a lever action and revolver in the same caliber so I could carry less ammo. A Henry Big Boy in .357 magnum or .44 magnum with modest optics and matching revolver covers a lot of territory and easy to service down the road. Wild west style...but that was my thinking. Yours may vary. Good luck !

What do you use for pigeons?

In the semi-auto rifle category I have a Savage A22 in 22 Mag with five ten round rotary mags. I have a wood stock, a bipod and a four power scope. Looks like a plain 22 but shoots like a monster. Zeroed so everything is within 3” of point of sim out to 160 yards.

I qualified my statement below that post. I realize that Mosins CAN be made to be accurate, but the vast majority of them (and he mentioned the $100 range) will barely hold a 6 MOA at 100 yards.

[Ancesthntr]

Your not wrong about that. They are good 100 yard guns, perhaps out to 200, but that’s about it. That’s why they sold for next to nothing, but a simple barrel change would do wonders for most of them.

[Ancesthntr]

Thanks. This is part of what I like about FR, you learn a lot.

[Blood of Tyrants]

They sold for next to nothing because they imported about 5 million of them and only paid probably $10 each.

How reliable is .22 ammo these days. Or 9mm

I like to give the little buggers a sporting chance.

I use my trebuchet.

oops I meant HOME defense

[antidemoncrat]

A Leather Pouch Shepherd Sling Old-Fashioned Slingshot is as challenging. Tried it. Still healing from a misfire.

That gives the term ‘Backfire’ a whole new meaning.

A gun thread is always fun and even though I'm familiar with them the wealth of knowledge we have here on FR has given me additional ideas to think about. As I knew it would :)
