[QUOTE="left handed gun, post: 2693227, member: 75858"] I am more than semi-retirement age. Heck, I could even take money out of my 401K and not pay penalties now. But I have actually expanded my collection, not consolidated it. Honestly, I need more time, less guns probably, but need to work more years. If I were forced to go with gun of those I own, it would be my M1A, loaded model, with stainless National match bbl and trigger, topped with Swaro 5-25 Z5. It holds zero, even when parked in the safe. It will shoot MOA with factory Fed 168 gr Gold Medals. It will eat anything other than a round nose lead tipped hunting round. It will shoot somewhere close to 1.75-2.0 MOA with a lot of the cheaper stuff available. Fairly weather resistant, of course no gun is truly weather proof. Thousands of rounds through it, it just goes. The caliber is a little light for hunting some stuff, maybe, but given the availability of 7.62 and .308, it would not be a bad gun for SHTF (which I hope it never does, but then you never know).
