308mateIf you could only have 1 gun
we were talking about this last night at my gun club. in the rep of Ireland the firearms fees are 36 euros per gun per year!!

so if lived there I dont think I would own the number of guns that I do!
So if you could only have 1 rifle 1 shotgun 1 handgun etc what would it be?????
My vote would be
.308win sako 75
12ga Beretta 391
.40s&w CZ team edition

Jeff SullivanIf I could only have 3 guns, I would keep my Sauer 202 Outback in 270 Win, and my Benelli M1 Super 90 12 ga., and my H&K P7M8.

IanFFor practicality, versatility etc ...... its got to be plastic and stainless!
Would have to go with a Sako 75 in .308win.
The 12 gauge in stainless would be a fine idea - so Ruger gets my vote there......
Pistol? Guess it would have to be a Glock based on high cap and lowish maintenance.
Strangely, I don't currently possess any of the above!

1894mk2I was happy with my 6.5x55 as my sole gun for a long time. If I wasn't travelling abroad I think I would be perfectly happy with just my moderated 243 for the rest of my life.

FriedrichSauer 202 Stutzen 9.3x62
Remington 870 Magnum Wingmaster Cal. 12 24"
Glock 17
It would be hard to give up all the other firearms, but I guess these are the 3 most usefull and versalite ones I have ...

308matefunny I dont own any of the guns i listed

I used to have a 391 but traded it in for my .222 CZ because I didnt use it that much. so if I had to pick from what i own it would be my .308 mod 70 coyote (I love this gun) my CZ 85 9mm and change my Beretta 682 for 391
But I like the look of that M2 Benelli

And I just made up my mind that my birthday present to myself will be a.40S&W CZ team Edition

this one in .300 Wby Mag, without a doubt.

D99I am not going to play this game. I can't even stay with one company let alone just pick 3 guns.
That and the bureaucracy BS leaves me cold!
I could probably pick 3 gun companies.
Westley Richards, Blaser, Steyr-Mannlicher.
Ok I played your silly game.

simonbm.308 Sako 75
12 gauge Benelli M3
9mm Sig/Sauer P226
Although I'm obviously dreaming about the Sig/Sauer
as Politicians in my country have decided we are not grown up enough to be allowed to play with pistols anymore!!!
