Help Support Long Range Hunting Forum
Scarry thought. But there are folks out there that will do this. I really didn't want to go to the extreme on the subject. I was just curious what folks were thinking in respect to caliber specific ammo, guns, and components they thought were necessary for them, just in case.
That's a good list, but I would add a 4-6" barrelled 357mag, for it can also accept 38 specs. Revolves are not power specific to function, so they can use bird/snake shot, light loads, wadcutters, full power, etc, etc. Same with 44 mags in a lighter 5 shot back country version, but ammo is not as widespread as 357/38. Also, I own rifles in those calibers, so I can have duality with one ammo for hunting and self defense. These rounds are great for bullet casters like myself.
The 308 and -06 are users choice.
Think fifth century Europe. Everyone will be tribal and we will become even more warlike and violent than you can imagine. The haves will be the rulers. Every one else! The peasants. Read a book couple of years ago can't remember the title at the moment! But it delt with a King and duke baron type of government. Horses with knights etc. Except every now and again they found something that's out of the timeline. Stuff called the builder's stone. Rebar reinforced concrete, one of the knights who had never been defeated had a weapon called the horse weapon! A colt .45! except he only used it under the most greatest of need. Only had twenty rounds left from fifty round box !
I understand your thought process, for here, we have been thinking this way since the cold war days.
And I'll add a good trad bow and a few dozen arrows with varied tips in a quiver. It doesn't take too long to become proficient at taking small game with one and let's be honest. If it goes sideways you'll probably have some time on your hands to practice archery. Reusable ammo is huge. My bear paw hybrid long bow weighs 18 oz. Quiver of arrows maybe 2 lbs. I love my modern compound but it shatters arrows inside 60 yds if you hit a rock. I know, it's a gun thread. Just sayin.
Good idea. Got the pellet rifle thing covered. Got Dianna mod 27 and mod 35 .177 pettet guns. Had them since 1965. Most accurate pellet guns I have ever shot. Really a good idea for gathering small game and birds a close range. Quiet too.
Absolutely! Too much to carry. The kinds I listed are what are most common to me. Not everyone. My family have all the pew I listed. Need to feed them all with store bought or make your own. Just haven't had any difficulty in finding support for my list. Ever. That's why I did this list. Curious what others were going through or planning on.
Nice. I've got a rem 870 18 inch with 7+1 rd tube. Pistol grip and adjustable length stock. With streamlight tac light. My home defense gun. Does other things well also. Sits next to the bed. $650 all in. Works well.Kind of like this as SHTF additiin.
