If I CAN ONLY OWN 1 GUN ??? I would want a rifle that would do it all, be accurate, like a M1A !!!! -

Well, I would usually agree with you on this one but during these particular times I would have to reach for my AK. That gun is the SHTF gun for sure. I could kill animals with it as well if need be but mainly for protection against looters, etc. -

30.06

with the wide range of ammo it is one of the best all around rifles -

HI staarma, I'll tell you what I don't like about the AK-47, as my only gun to have !!! It is not accurate, ammo not powerful enough or suitable for hunting, AK-47 is only good for a short range (300 yard) assult rifle.

HI GRI, I almost pick the M1 over the M1A, BUT, the fact that the M1A has a 20 round detachable mag, that you can take out, and add extra rounds or different rounds, made me pick the M1A, I love my M1, but it only has 8 rounds !!! -

HI EDDIE, A 20 gauge will defend you at close range(20 yard) hunt quail, ducks, with slugs deer, hog, (100 yard) BUT you must get a rifle !!! -

cdennyb · #7 11-21-2008, 10:49 AM

How about a loaded one?

Isn't too much good if you dont have the ammo.
LoL

Sorry, couldn't resist that one.

How about a nice long range sniper weapon with night scope, I hate hand to hand. -

HI cdennyb, I like your choice, BUT that sniper rifle, MUST HAVE iron sights for close range, and speed, and must have a mag, with at least 4 to 5 rounds !!! -

I'm guessing I need a 9mm Browning or a 44 Mag Desert Eagle then, In addition to that Barret Sniper Rifle Huh?

I'm still sticking to my AK. I have thousands of rounds, it never jams not even with dirt, water, mud, etc. I can still hit a target with multiple round bursts and with 30 round mags it is nice to have on my side. Most of those same reasons are why the AK is still the #1 rated assault rifle of all time.

With that said, I have quite a few guns with their own specialties and there are reasons why. Each does what they do best for their own niche. I guarntee though if looters come to the house I'm picking up the AK or the SBR AR-15 and will let them experience pain. If that don't work then it's the Winchester Defender alternately loaded with 1 oz. slugs and 00 buck. Of course I usually have the Glock within reach too or many others both long and short.

I have several guns is my safe that I consider to be my "favorites" for one reason or another. But if I had to choose just ONE for home defense, hunting or out-right "Red Dawn" survival mode, I think it would be hard to beat the good ol' Remington 870 pump-action 12 ga. scattergun. Ammo can be found (or stolen if need be)) from just about anywhere and with the right shell you can take down anything from a flying mourning dove (low brass #8 shot) to a moose or bear (3" mag rifled slug). Any of the above would be VERY difficult with a pistol or AR or AK style rifle (pop any of those against a pissed-off grizzly and you better save one shot for yourself!), and it's hard to argue the effectiveness of a shotgun blast on a dude when plated #4 buckshot is selected.

Bring along a rifled barrel with a good scope perched on top (carried in your pack) and some sabot slugs, and a man-sized target out to 200 yds and maybe a bit further is in for a real bad day.

It also wouldn't hurt to buddy-up with anyone packing a .50 Cal Barret!

I'll second that...

Any 12ga pump will do for me. Ammo is available anywhere in any kind of load you could want. It'll take down anything at close range plus you can scatter shoot if need be.

The long range capabilities are still there with a slug barrel and scope. -

HI EDDIE, If your looking for a decent inexpensive rifle, BUY a MOSIN NAGANT model 91 (long barrel) or a model 44 (short barrel) I have two model 44, the caliber is 7.62X54 it has the same power as a 30-06, and it only cost me $80 each, and they are accurate !!! FOR THE MONEY YOU CAN'T GET A MORE POWERFUL RIFLE !!!!

HI cdennyb, I like 9MM BROWNING HIGH POWER, it fits my hand like a glove, you can get 9MM ammo anywhere on earth, plus it's cheap, DESERT EAGLE 44 MAG, is to big for my hand, to big to hide, but it gives you 8 rounds of BUTT-KICKING 44 MAG !!!

The BARRET 50 BMG, I have never fired one, I have McMILLAN & STATE ARMS 50 BMG, ALL 50 BMG (with-out rifle sights) are only good for long distance, you can't shoot at a man at close range with a scope, cause you will have a hard time finding him in the scope, plus all that movement will make you dizzy !!!

HI staarma, I'm not insulting the AK-47, The right tool, for the right job !!! I have a MADDI AK-47, I would use it, If faceing mutiple people, at less than 50 yards, 7.62X39 has little recoil, and the AK-47 is a light rifle, and doesn't jam, plus I have some 75 round drums !!! BUT I rather have an M1A, M1. -
