oh hell partner, I'm pretty sure our federalis are more than willing to share any relevant info on me with your federalis any time of the day...don't even worry about it anymore, LOL

[Beo]

Feds are always watching I'm sure, you stock up on large amounts of arms and ammo and they'll be raiding you next!!!! ATF (Another Team of Fuc*ups ) is always watching the purchase of firearms and ammo here in the states.

[trax]

Another Team of F****ps...man I laughed at that one. Another forum I've seen a guy had a tag line I liked...."alcohol tobacco and firearms should be a general store, not a department of the federal government"...

Dude you don't even want to know how restrictive gun laws are in this country

[Beo]

But crime is less there than in the States, I think. Every night I turn on the news here in Cincinnati, at least two people shot, several wounded or shot at, a stabbing at least, assault, and the city has no money. Inside two years we'll be another Detroit with nothing coming outta here but bad rap artist.
Last year the city (known here as Stanknatti) alone 86 shooting deaths, over 300 shootings, 22 stabings, and God knows how many assaults, rapes, thefts, and break ins all armed, we broke our own records and that doesn't count the county as a whole.

I have been shooting for over 50+ years and I can carry more 22 cal ammo than anything else so I use a Ruger 10/22 with a fixed 6 power scope and a Mark II. At home I have other stuff but for woods survival I will take the 22 and I personally like Ruger. I have the Mark II and Single Six both stainless. Mag snakeshot seems to work better, but I wouldn't bother myself. If I hit the hill behind the house with my ATV I probably would take my beloved Beretta Cougar 45. I don't need glasses with it to 20 or so yards nor with the scoped 10/22 in my humble opinion.

Can always tell a man with taste. Those two .22s are my guns of choice as well.

Naw, Beowulf65: Beowulf is a book (epic poem, there ya go Trax) wrote in the 4th century by an unknown author about a Gail warrior killing serpents (dragons) the Grendal, being one of the 1st books ever written I used it when my 1st book got published and 65 is the year I was born in 1965. The nickname stuck and thats what people call me now when I'm trekking or hunting... Beowulf or Beo... pronounced "Bay-o-wulf" didn't really ask for it and don't really like it but thats what they call me so... oh well.

[trax]

lol i live in canada no Real feds here.

You go right ahead and tell yourself that youngster....

[Beo]

Trax, bro... ya know he's 16, ain't seen the real world yet. No offense intended Marcraft.

Those who will give up freedom for safety deserve neither and will lose both. There has never been a gun that decided one day to get up and go kill someone. The person behind the gun is where the laws should focus, and not on the gun itself. When the government bans guns, all the honest citizens turn theirs in, and the criminals keep them. Have no illusions that any criminal is turning their guns in, or buying them from retail shops. They buy them stolen, and it is the criminal that should be regulated (executed) not the gun.
I live in Arizona and we can carry openly. I also have a concealed carry permit, which I hardly use but I have exercised my right to have it. There is far less gun related violence here than in other citys where guns are not legal to carry. The criminals don't know if the person they are about to rob is going to turn around and shoot them. I like that.

[marberry]

unfortunately in canada we arnt evn allowed to carry loaded guns , the best you can do legally is carry an empty pistol in a holster and have a loaded mag (more then 10 cap mag is illegal) in your pocket. and the gun has to be visible... the laws only take guns from honest citizens , giving criminals evn more power. and beo, none taken i know im less then half as old as most of you

[HOP]

I think the savage m24 in what ever chambering floats your boat is a great survival rifle, I would go with .22/.20Ga you can get some very powerful slugs in .20ga these days.

As far as battle rifles and what the goverment allows it might be that the reason you kneed the rifle is the goverment and .308 semi is my choice.
Even though I own several handguns I don't think they have a place way on top of the survival list of firearms a big bore handgun
's primary purpose is or should be to fight your way to your rifle I have a CCW and cary because a rifle or shotgun in public raises to many problems.

[Beo]

Also Marcraft, for being so young (damn half as old makes me sound really old.) you have alot of knowledge, I left that out the last post I did here.
My guns consist of .32 calibur flintlock (my sons but I use it for small game), .69 calibur flintlock for large game, Remington 700 chambered in the Winchester .300 magnum, 12 gauge Remington 870 ( I usually use Rotweiler 3 in. mags for deer, and shot for small game and duck, Ruger 10/22 with a cheap tasco scope (need to upgrade that oneday), an H&K USP .40, and my duty weapon a S&W .40. Also have a long bow (love it love it).
As for a survival firearm I think I'd use the 12 gauge and cross sling the Ruger on my back.
These are just my choices although plinking an enemy from about 70 to 100 yards away with my .69 flintlock would be interesting.
Beo,

[marberry]

yeah im probibially the only teenager on the earth who listens to bbc world whyle playing video games lol. and its not that your old im just young. and i know firearms regulations because my parents said i wasnt allowed to have any projectile weapon in the house so i looked up every possible way i could own a firearm without storing it in the house. im gona get my minors possession licience right after i take drivers ed. so i found a way for me to legally own a rifle or shotgun (only non-restricted firearms till im 18) the MPL allows you to own / store / transport a non-restricted firearm but not purchase it. so im gona have a friend of mine with a possession and acquisition license buy it and sign it over to me , then ill keep it at his place and take it when i want to use it , atleast untill i have a car then i can store it in the car as long as it is unloaded , locked , and not visible from outside the car. and a childhood friend of min is in angola right now so i keep tabs of the civil wars and politics in africa. and i spend about an hour every day researching things i dont know on the web (gota love the internet lol) and im planning on buying a compound bow for about $100 for grouse hunting to see if i want to bow hunt big game. iv alredy got my hunters education , trappers education , cfsc , and i took a hunting guide course a few months ago.

[marberry]

sorry bout 2X posting. so beo, im guessing you a big muzzleloader fan. never liked em much myself on account of the horrible recoil , range , ballistics they produce, but alot of people like the ruggedness of a muzzleloader and some just want the earlier deer seasons lol. do you have and advice on what bow would be good for upland game bird hunting for my (very) limited budget. and also what types of arrows / arrowheads i should buy?

[Beo]

I would go with a longbow, but thats just me, I like the light weight of the bow-shooting instinctively with no sights just using my eye. A good long bow can be had from all knids of places in Canada, just check them out real good but most bowyers won't rip you off. Arrows for longbow I'd use ceder shafts and zwiki broadheads for big game and stumpers for small game. Practice make perfect, so if you can take a rabbit or squirrel with a longbow then everything else should be fine.
As for compound bows I'm lost, my friends that use compound all use PSE and I know they're reliable. When I started bow hunting I started with a PSE compound and it was great (that was in 1987 see I am old lol) and they make great equipment hence the name:
P-Precision
S-Shooting
E-equipment
But I sold it about four years ago and been longbow ever since.
Beo,

[marberry]

ok then, do you know where i can get a longbow with 25+ lbs of draw weight for around $100? the only ones i see at sports stores are around $600...

Hi All

I am currently in the Savage 24 area for survival rifles.

I like the adaptability of them.
