[QUOTE="trebark, post: 742977, member: 19172"] I think we can all agree that one of the guns you NEED to have is a 12ga. shotgun - pump or semi-auto. I personally have a Remington 11-87 (semi-auto). If you like the pump guns, look at Remington 870. While there are many other brands out there, Remington is a great platform because they are so popular that everyone makes aftermarket accessories for them. As for hunting rifles, I would agree that everyone should have a 22lr. Personally I prefer a semi-auto for quick follow-ups on scurrying varmints. Now lets move to the 'big' guns. There are three in my personal battery: Carry Rifle: [url]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f53/my-280-updated-32771/[/url] Since you want a rifle(s) that are easy to get ammo for, I would recommend a rifle like this in 30-06.

While 300rum is a beast, you might consider a 300winmag as 300winmag ammo is quite abundant. This makes my personal answer to your initial question: SIX In the alternative, you could cover this in FOUR: 12ga shotgun, 22lr semi-auto, carry rifle 30-06, prone gun 300winmag. [/QUOTE]
