Looking back at all of the big game I have shot over the years, most was taken with two general calibers of rifles; .280 Remington (or it's European counter-parts the 7x64 and 7x65),and the .375 H&H Magnum. If I were starting over I would like to have the following: .22 Long Rifle Martini Model 12 .280 Remington Hagn single shot .375 H&H Magnum Winchester M70 Stainless in a laminated stock .45-70 Shiloh sharps target rifle 20-gauge Pre-1990 John Wilkes sxs with 27-inch or longer barrels 12-gauge Beretta 686 Onyx O/U with 28-inch barrels .44 Magnum S&W 629 4-inch .22 LR S&W 317 Kit Gun .54 caliber or larger traditional-style percussion muzzleloader One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas.

A .22 LR or .300 WBY MAG or 16 Ga double barrel. If it lives in North America I can kill it with one of those three...I have other choices but I tend to get stupid. | |||

Hopefully a minimum battery is something that will only be in theory. If I had to pare down to the bare bones it would be: Winchester 22lr pump - Granpa gave it to me as my first gun, it's the last one I'll ever part with S&W model 41 22 LR pistol - If you want to shoot pistols you need a 22 lr to practice with. Remington 870 12ga with 2 barrels. One barrel is a 28" with IC to Full chokes, the other is a slug barrel with sites. You could hunt any bird anywhere Remington 870 12ga with 2 barrelsand deer in shotgun only states. Kimber Montana 325 WSM - Easy to carry, very accurate and powerful enough for any game in NA. Winchester M-70 416 Remington Mag - Powerful enough for any game in Africa. Accurate too. Springfield Armory XD-45 Compact - Perfect for CCW or any self-defense use. Can use compact or std mags of 10 or 13rds. Accurate, reliable, easy to shoot. Knight SR-15 M4 - A premium AR-15 for self-defense use. More than accurate enough for varmint hunting if scoped. Thinking about these I think it's interesting that I wouldn't necessarily keep my favorites but the ones that are the most versatile if I had to pare the list down. I prefer the 270 WSM over the 325 WSM for deer and antelope which I do the most of. I prefer my AUG to the AR-15 but if you're limited the AR-15 has more parts readily available. I'd be more likely to hunt with a scoped 22 rifle than grandpa's pump but it has FAR to much sentimental value to me (and it's a drill with iron sites). Interesting to make the list, I just hope it never comes down to having to keep just a few....................DJ ....Remember that this is all supposed to be for fun!.................. | |||

My current battery consists of.... - Ruger 10/22 - Sako Quad change barrel w/ 22lr and 22mag barrels - Marlin 39A - Remington model 7 243win - Remington model 700 270 - Win 70 classic 7mm RemMag - 2 AR15's not yet complete (one will be 223, have't decided on the second one yet) - More shotguns and handguns than I can think of to list without opening up the safe..... I think that the direction I will go with my next purchase is going to be something in the medium bore class, I'd really like to have a Win model 70 in 375 H&H, either pre64 or classic. My 7 mag is my go to gun right now, and is more than enough gun for what I hunt, but I'd like a 375 just in case an opportunity to use it came up. | |||

Battery just keeps growing. I think it's a disease. Tip for those running out of space - rifle rods. Just finished a walk in vault project and did away with 2 gun safes. Struggled with how to set up gun racks until I found these. Couldn't have worked out better and would also work to increase the capacity of a standard safe by quite a bit. Not attached to this guy in any way, just recommending a product I found extremely useful. Search rifle rods or gun storage solutions and you'll find them if interested. Reluctant to post pics but if anyone wants, send me an e-mail and I'll forward pics of set up. | |||

Too many to list but if paired down to most useful: 6.5x57 TT Proctor bolt-action (custom built) .22 r/f Anschutz bolt action .17HMR BRNO bolt action Those are all you need for England. For Africa The following worked fine and will again: 8x57 under double 16-bore Rasch drilling .470 NE Manton & Co double ejector rifle The above combination cleaned up everything from ducks and guinea fowl to impala, warthog, red lechwe and elephant. | |||

Paring down also, thinking a 416 Rigby and a 340 Weatherby custom on a CZ Magnum action with a lighter barrel would be a great pair. | |||

If only two, then a .416 Rigby and a 25 wssm. | |||
