    Default Pick just one...

    ...if you were banished from society and given your choice of one and only one firearm with all the shells you could carry away on your back, then which would you choose -rifle, pistol, shotblaster, long or short, hi-power or small bore?
    You decide, me myself & I cannot! Whats the consensus? maybe then I can make a choice because this could be a real world scenario for mankind in general one day.

    Ruger 10-22. By the way, I have been banished from society. I'm hanging around hoping to be the last man on earth just to see if all the girls really meant what they said.

    I have heard some persuasive discussion on this, so I would choose a Springfield M6 Scout 410/.22 lr. Maybe cheating a bit since it is two types ammo.

    I sold the Rock River LAR-8 which is the AR-10 Platform in 7.62 NATO (.308) It was a wonderful firearm, but a bit heavy once it was fully dressed.

    The 6.8 SPC is built on the Lighter AR-15 Platform.

    something to get my place back in the pack. preferably a long range bolt action or ar platform. 308 would do just fine.

    I have a Savage .308 with scope and bi-pod. Never fired it - it's in "like new" condition. I need to get me some range time. If I could just find a way to get up to Hope's place.........

    Oh, right, getting even. They moved the cabin with the front end loader while you were asleep. The geese just watched.

    My tricked out 10-22, I can keep my shots within a 3 inch circle at 100 yards.

    Rick.....They mean it!

    Hope have you looked at the 6.5 Grendel as a chambering for the AR?

    YES, Many times......but living with Grizzly encounters, I lean towards the 115 Grain FMJ bullet.

    I think I'd have to go with the 10/22, also. Not only would it be useful as heck, carrying ammo is a big factor.

    I learned a lesson about carrying ammo at a gun show. (Well, sorta.)
    I saw a good deal on some ammo, so I bought it.....then I remembered how far away I had parked. It really sucked, having to carry a case (880 rounds) of 7.62x54r any distance, at all.

    I'd have to go with a Remington 870. With all the different ammo and uses for a shotgun, it's hard to beat.

    As far as shotguns go, I lean towards the Mossy 500 series.
