gunslinger555 · June 19, 2006, 05:54 PM

haa easy for me the only gun i have at the apartment right now my remmy 870 combo ex. the rest are at my brothers house in columbus

281 Quad Cam · June 19, 2006, 07:22 PM

Or the Glock 19... what would I carry everyday?

Bulletbutt · July 10, 2006, 12:32 AM

I would die in front of my gunsafe...trying to decide.

Renfield · July 10, 2006, 09:25 AM

as much as I love my Browning Hi Power "Capitan" my pragmatic side would scream out Colt Combat Commander .45 simply because it is stainless

castnblast · July 10, 2006, 10:05 AM

My 7mm rem. mag. I can shoot anything I'd ever want to eat...even bunnies if I get 'em in the head...

BUT that's a decision I wouldn't want to have to make either...

If you ever do, choose wisely for your circumstance.

What a choice to make.
House fire? My grandads 742 woodsmaster
SHTF situation? My Bushmaster AR-15
& pick up a case of ammo for whichever along the way.
I hope it never comes down to that though.

SOSARMS · July 11, 2006, 02:03 PM

Probably my H & K Mark 23.............then hide the rest down the front of my pants...!!

Benonymous · July 12, 2006, 05:10 AM

Definitely my Steyr Scout in .308, topped with the Burris 1.75 x 6 x 40 scope. Its light and super accurate.

U.S.SFC_RET · July 12, 2006, 06:04 AM

My 22 magnum it's pretty versitile.
shorts
longs
mags

my Winchester 1300

My Winchester 94 pre 64. I killed my first deer with it when I was 12.

He might have a revolver with interchangeable cylinders, e.g. Ruger Single Six.

As one poster said, it would depend on the reason for the one-gun-only circumstance -

Commies coming over the hill? K-31
Society meltdown? Henry H001
House on fire? Custom-smithed 1911A1 my dad gave me

If my choices are not mainstream, consider the fact that I'm limiting this fantasy exercise to guns I actually own. I'd love to say, "why, I'd grab my $2000 Rock River AR" or "my FAL and a backpack of NATO 7.62", but I don't (yet) own those.

mackillan · February 10, 2009, 08:54 AM

7mm rem mag Sako 85 Hunter

JKHolman · February 10, 2009, 11:47 AM

Daewoo AR-100 [with an Aimpoint AB CompC3 2MOA]

Kreyzhorse · February 10, 2009, 12:11 PM

I love my Ruger No. 1 45-70 with a Nikon Monarch the most........ but, my left handed Savage 110 7mm Rem would be my most practical and all around useful rifle. It would be tough, but I'd have to take my Savage.

sadsack · February 10, 2009, 12:55 PM

Marlin 39M.

protectedbyglock · February 10, 2009, 04:08 PM

One gun?
My Colt AR15 lower.
And then I would have to cheat with about 50 different configurations of conversions and uppers.
Bunch of different holos, scopes, irons, etc.

curt.45 · February 10, 2009, 04:33 PM

I have three kids that would have to be gotten out first...But if I could save one firearm...just one it would be my M1 Garand. But I'd be really ticked about loosing the rest hopefully the safe would do it's job.

johnsonrlp · February 10, 2009, 07:11 PM

Armalite AR-10 T Carbine...
