1 Gun - Page 4

Stopper · 02-17-2007, 06:55 PM

I'm thinking 12 gauge that can accept 3 - 3.5 inch mags - for the grizz of course.

It'd be a toss-up between my 870 and my .454. I've got specialty shells for my 870 that can just about handle anyting I could ever get into, but my .454 can handle any living thing I would come across out there. Plus, it's plenty accurate (and powerful) at 200+ yards, if needed.

Didn't they come out with a .45LC/.22 version.You can also shoot .410 out of a .45lc chamber.

Now THAT would be a nice combo. The .22 colibri's are great for birds and such.

That's what I would take. a M6 (?) in .45LC/.22 with a brick of .22 and 5 rounds 45lc/10round bird shot 410.

Unless a person acts stupid and stumbles around the bush, you should be safe from bears.

Cr@ckSH0t · 04-05-2007, 01:04 PM

To tell you the truth, I would have no need of a gun. Give me a bow, some arrows and a Ka-bar and I will fair just fine......I think....

ArkansasHunter · 04-05-2007, 01:18 PM

My choice hands down my 12ga. 3" mag. 870 with the full chock in it.
Ammo would be: Slugs, #1 buck shot and #6 shot

i dont know but i kinda want one 45lc/410/22 sounds like a good thing to have.it wouldnt do much for zombies, robots or mole people but.....

hawkeye_gunner · 04-08-2007, 12:28 AM

I would take me trusty Colt Woodsman, it may not be able to take down a bear, but it'll take down wolves, rabbits, and raccoons.

My second choice would be my Uncle's over and under 12 gauge w/ slug ammo. That could take down a bear...

Assuming, of course, that my faithful sidekick Rocky the Rottweiler/Dane mix is already out of commission, I'm going to say that I'll take my 870 ANY day. Back that with my new XD .45 ACP compact.

Deersniper · 04-11-2007, 12:22 PM

The 12 GA Mav 88 with 00 buck and slugs. Allen glo sight's. One **** of a gun. Knoxx butt stock y'all. 22" of pure pain.

ok what i see from most of you is intelligence but i gotta know 1 thing Mooseman why in the heck would you shoot 150 yards at a squirrel after all the object is to survive and if you shoot a squirrel with a 30-06 you will not be eating it and as for the large game preservation issue before they had refrigerators large quantities of meat were perserved by a process called smoking and i think that many of you would be innovative enuff to get that done and as for mister bear a 12 guage will do him in to then you will have more meat to perserve as for my own personal id take my bow probably the compound but if i decided to take the recurve id simply try very hard to give mister bear his space which might not be a bad idea no matter what your choice of weapon but i really enjoy hunting with my recurveand if you follow the 1 shot 1 kill theory id even consider my cva 50 cal w/ reddot scope shoot straight and god bless

mos19k · 04-15-2007, 12:39 PM

I'm Johnny come lately but I've been in the woods several times and can't say I've ever been bothered by a bear or any other wild animal. That said and since the topic says just "one gun" I'd go with my Ruger 10/22 S/S with folding stock. I can hunt plenty of squirrel and rabbit and with the 50 round clips it will discourage even a bear, if one decided to evict me from his forest.

I had to go back and see what I posted to respond accordingly...I said I would carry a .300 Win mag and should have said "with an assortment of bullets." As far as Shooting a Squirrel to eat for survival, I guess you never "Barked" a Squirrel by shooting the tree about an inch in and letting the splinters and Concussion knock him out with a high power Rifle. Or shoot him in the Nose ! I would rather have "Too Much gun" than not enough gun for any situation. As for meat smoking and curing, I am a Master at that since I do it every Year making smoked Salmon and Caribou or Moose Jerky.
Even without salt in a survival situation, dry smoking thin strips of meat over a fire will give you protein that you can carry a lot of to go with roots and berries and grasses that you can eat as you find, and thus you can survive.

Oh, and I can carry more Cartridges than you can carry Arrows!!!

Arrows are reusable. Cartridges are not. Something else to think of.

ganzer · 05-05-2007, 10:45 PM

I would take along my Ruger 10/22. Not going to see any griz. If i did they wouldnt bother me.
A .22 if fine for grouse, squirrels, rabbits etc.
i've had many times i could have taken deer or moose with a .22 if I'd cared to shoot.

Zephri · 05-05-2007, 11:17 PM

a slingshot would be somthing to think about too..

dceptiv240 · 05-14-2007, 03:04 PM

Ruger Redhawk .44 with simmons 2/6x32 scope

my first day at the range, sighting the scope, within 10 shots i realized the comfort afforded me with this gun. i would take all 240 grain magnum shells and aim according to purpose.

if 6 shots doesn't kill an aggressive target, i'll bet it slows down enough for you to reload.
