That's a good one 500, but actually, I was thinking why not list the top 100 guns we should all own. How many replies could I get?

Hey I may be nuts but here it is. .17HMR The ultimate ground squirrel round (of which the shooting of said is my passion). .338 Lapua This is my go to elk and mulie round. .458 Lott. Great DG round (note I don't have ANY DG experience), a fine rock buster, and my favorite ground squirrel dispatching tool. If I could add a fourth it would be my .220 Swift. Nice coyote rifle, termial on squrrels and a my choice on rock chucks. If I could have only FOUR rifles these are the ones I would keep. Keep the top three for those who must be rifle impaired John There are those that do, those that dream, and those that only read about it and then post their "expertise" on AR! | |||

I loved the combos here. I had always thought a little: 6.5X55 9.3X62 10.75X73 [404J] but getting the range of the 300H&H in the middle might be nice too. | |||

.223 (must be accurate)It would shoot p-dogs, coyotes, and in a tight spot a deer. 300 Weatherby (if not available would go with 30-06 and a big supply of premium bullets). Either one requires a very good scope. Would be used for everything up to 700 pounds. OR a .340 Weatherby as it covers a lot of ground....if you can handle the recoil, it will kill pronghorn antelope and up to cape buffalo. 416 Rem Mag (or one of the clones) Must fit right and have a high end scope on it. Ruggedness mandatory. Would be used on everything over 700 pounds or anything that needed 'stopping'. | |||

This is one of the stupidist post I have ever seen on AR. Unless you are living in Iraq, there aren't any places left in the world that will limit you to 3 rifles. If anyone can come up with one, let me know. I know the Iraqis have a 1 AK-47 rule with one magazine. So? This same post has been done a thousand times and will probably be done a thousand more. We don't have these rules, so why give yourself added drama? | |||
