444 Marlin for the big critters, and 218 Bee for the little varmints....

My life was simple at one time, after I sold a bunch of guns I vowed that four was all I needed

22,12 ga. 300 H&H & a 357 revolver

boy did I ever stray from that idea but it was rather simple for the short time it lasted

A reloading set up.

That would do it logger.

True - I've thought "22LR, 12 ga, 375 Ruger, and 45 Colt/ACP Redhawk..."

2 1885 Winchesters: a .32-40 & .40-65.
A 1903-A3
A Thompson
A mdl 12 Winchester.
An income that meets my wants and doesn't rely on WORK.
A travel trailer, or a horse trailer with living quarters will suffice.

Could live with the .444. Would prefer a .357 over the BEE. Any way, you are correct. Think we all have way too many guns, but, it's part of the addiction

With these two, you could hunt anything in the U.S. (or world, with proper bullets and shot placement) easily if you were a good stalker. For the farther-out stuff I'd add a 375 Ruger, (or the slightly-inferior 375 H&H

) and for birds a shotgun (a Saiga would double as a home defense item).

Handgun-wise, toss in a Redhawk 45 Colt/ACP, and a Ruger Mk-III/45 with a can, and that's six firearms to meet all needs...

Mind you, I am a die-hard Winchester guy, but no battery of lever action rifles is complete without the best .22 levergun, a pre-safety Marlin 39A:

Yeah, I think I could make it with four. I'd go with Winchester, Marlin, Savage, and Remington.

I need at least one gun that can stop an M1 Abrams in it's tracks.

You know... For when "They" come...

I like that list a lot!
Going with what I have I'd substitute your '85s with my
1886 33WCF and my Colt Gold Cup for the Tommy gun though I'd love to
go the SBR route for a real Thompson.

22 LR pump rifle. Rossi is OK but Win better.
22 LR pistol. Browning Buckmark
308 Win. BLR
12 gauge. Winchester Model 12 or my Baretta sxs is OK

I could easily get by with this setup.

junkbug · Post by **junkbug** » Sun Jan 01, 2017 10:27 am

What is the peep-sight set up on the 218 Bee?

Yeah, Doc - but in reality IIRC you did a (great) BHA .500 levergun........

For a CF handgun, I really liked ( but couldn't afford) a Freedom Arms Model 83 .454/.45Colt/.45ACP/.45WinMag convertible.

REALLY NEED??? To be happy or to be able to barely get by?

To barely get by:

Rifles:
22 LR
223/5.56
30-06
375 H&H
45 Colt

Handguns:
357
45 ACP

Shotguns:
12 ga. 3"

I'm glad this is just a game.

But, menfolk used to get by with a .22 and a shotgun of some sort. But, I'm not like that. I like having several in the safe even if I don't shoot much anymore. "Just" two wouldn't cover my three go-to EDC mouse guns....

You NEED enough ammo to feed each & everything you have!

I often hear the phrase "beware the man with one gun" in my head. I like Docs two rifles a lot. I've been down to 3 guns at one point. 300 mag, ar15 and a 1911. I think I could do the same again except a 9mm glock instead of the 1911. I've never had much use for a shotgun but I keep them around.

Don't forget Rock Island makes a 9mm double-stack 1911 (with optional 22 TCM barrel)...

The NEED part is you NEED more guns to fill up your safe!!!!!!!!!!

Post by **Old Savage** » Sun Jan 01, 2017 8:22 pm

Really need .... Another safe!

Post by **Old Savage** » Sun Jan 01, 2017 8:25 pm

But out west you are going to want some pointy bullet type at least .243, .270 - better.

Bestlever was loading 130 grain pointy bullets in his 30WCF AI....Called it a 250 yard, two shot, wonder. I can't exactly remember, but it seemed he was pushing 2800 fps.....

I don't "need" anything else or a good portion of what I have !

But I want all I have and I "want" to get a Parker EH or NH 10 gauge with barrels 24 , 26 or 28 inches that are uncut factory original . I also "want" a Parker VH 28 gauge on a 00 frame with factory original uncut barrels .
