Only Three Firearms!

[LongHunter7]

If you had to restrict yourself to only three firearms as a hunter what would you choose? These could be for any area in the US. And lets suppose that they were stock , off the shelf guns and , not custom jobs. Which would you choose? My choice. 1) Remington 700 ADL Old type 30-06. 2) Remington 870 12 gauge. 3) SW 357 Model 27 4 inch. Bill.

I dont know if you consider the Dakotas custom...if so then just substitute the word Dakota for Winchester M70

I refuse to participate in this. Only three, for Pete's sake! How can a guy get by with only three guns. Three guns! I would be the laughing stock of my bridge club. Do you have any idea what I'd have to give up? Three guns!
I thought five was bad, Geez!

My Dakota M97 338-06
My Sako A-IV Safari in 375 H&H
My Les Baer 1911, 45 ACP.

Geez, this is hard. I don't need a shotgun but would like to have a 22 lr rifle.

I can't do this just shoot me!

Ruger 77 all weather in 338 win mag.

My Marlin 1894 in 44 mag.....I'd rather give up a nad than this gun!

Marlin 39A 22lr

I'm gonna walk like Chester when I gotta go with the 1894 as my carry gun!

Wash your mouth out with soap!!! That's what my mother would do to me if I said something nasty.
Steyr Mannlicher 30-06
Rem 870 12 ga
Rem Nylon 66 22 lr

[Shortwave]

30-06 Rifle controlled feed.
12ga.
.22 autoloader pistol.

Makes don't really matter as long as they're quality, and I can shoot them well.

Guess I'm kicked out of the club huh?

[bgreen]

You said "as a hunter" so that opens things up sp we can leave out personal protection against the two legged critters right?


Sako Forrester L579 243 Remington (ground hogs, coyotes, to deer and sheep)
Tikka T3 Light S/S 338 Win Mag (caribou to bear)
Winchester 1300 12 ga (rabbits, grouse, ducks)

[Jester]

Win. M70 Classic Stainless .338 - for the heavy lifting
Savage 24F (.22LR/20gauge) - for all the little stuff
S&W .44 mag Trail Boss - for close up action and fun

But I agree with everyone else. What a scary concept.

[Blink]

no customs....thats down right wrong,but I'll play

Interarms mark X in 30-06
S&W 422 in 22LR
mossberg 500 12 ga (wife loves it, gotta include it)

[Doc]

Only three guns, as a hunter (Alaskan hunter), no custom rigs...that's easy:

Browning A-Bolt Stainless Stalker in .375H&H
...and the same in .30-06
Ruger 10/22
