If you could only have 3 long guns, which would you choose?

[WahooYahoo]

Maybe I should pair down my collection. Truthfully, I have my favorites and the others could be framed and hung on a wall. Some are invaluable but for sentimental reasons. I'm not asking for those to be included in the list. But let's say, purely for whimsical gab, that you could only have 3 calibers, any calibers, which would you choose?

 

[lancetkenyon]

6.5mm, 7mm, .308.

As for cartridge choice....
6.5SS, .280AI, .300RUM

 

[therifleman556]

223, 270 WSM, and a yet to be chosen 35 caliber magnum...

 

[Mountain Sloth]

270 Win, 300 Win or Weatherby, and Probably 375 Ruger cover all the big and dangerous game I would ever hunt.

 

[Archerfish]

22 long rifle, something that can shoot around 3000fps in 6.5 and something with a muzzle brake shooting a heavy thirty caliber bullet.

 

[WahooYahoo]

Truthfully, I'm not sure. There would be a 6.5mm. I like creedmoor simply because I can buy Hornady ELD boxed ammo and shoot half minute to 600, but I'd like a bit more oomph... PRC, SS...?

7mm for sure. When I re-barrel my current 7mag, I'll likely go 7 Practical, unless Hornady launches the 7PRC (wink wink).

Number 3 is wide open. I use a .22 Mag A LOT. I really enjoy my .223s. I wouldn't use me 7mm for brown bears or moose and I hope to get one of each one day...so...

 

[Jordanv1]

6mm creedmoor, 7 rem mag and a 338 of some kind.

 

[Rhovee]

I don't have my 6 Creed yet. But i can say that my 338 Edge is never leaving. That and my 7 saum are my favorite so far.

 

[manitou]

Three of them that I already have. Browning X-Bolt, .280.
Browning Cynergy O/U 20 ga.
CZ 455 FS, .17 hmr

 

[YZ-80]

M1 Garand, .243, 6.5-284.

 

[latisimusd]

22LR, 223, 6XC go to
of course I have 308 & 12g

 

[huntandfish2983]

22 creedmoor, 6.5 saum, 30 nosler.

 

[jamiebolseth]

AR15 in 223. 6.5 Creedmoor. 338 RUM.

 

[adam32]

Blaser R8 carbon success with barrels in .243 win, 7mm rem mag and .375 H&H.
