[quote:Anonymous Coward 27932698:MV8yMDY0NTYwXzM0NzQ5NzMzXzJEQjM2Qjcy] If I'm going on straight survival, were I'm on foot, lugging around everything I own in the wilderness, trying to put food in my belly and some self protection duties, the choice is a no brainer for me. An accurized Ruger 10/22 rifle and a Ruger Mark III Hunter pistol. Both can put 10 shots in a 1" circle at 50 yards. While not packing the biggest punch, you can surely feed and defend yourself with them. You can carry a 1000 rounds of a quality 22LR ammo, and it works in both weapons. Try to carry 1000 rounds of 308WIN or even .556 along with your other survival gear and see how far you get or how many calories you burn. If I had to take a shotgun into the wilds, on an extended hike, I suppose a Marlin Lever Action .410 with some 000 buck and birdshot shells would work alright. Now if your defending the homestead, thats 3 other guns entirely. A Springfield M1A, Bennelli M4, and Colt 1911 are my weapons of choice. Or..... How about going real old school. A Bear Montana Longbow, SOG Trench Tomahawk, and a Case Bowie Knife. But you gotta be good to survive with these. [/quote]
Original Message
Doing some research before I purchase a few more guns. My sister just asked me what kind of gun she should buy, so it prompted this thread. Wanted to know what my GLP brethren think. I've searched the other threads, but a lot of them derailed and got off topic pretty quick. Please list your top 3 and why they are your top 3 choices.
The motivation is self-defense. Hunting will be secondary after that.
If you wish, you can also add a wildcard for ultimate self defense in a survival situation, such as an AK. I appreciate everyone's input. Thanks.
