Garand and 1911

Posted: 4/26/2011 7:15:28 PM EDT

[#2]

Any decent scoped 30/06 and a Glock 22/35

Hunt quietly with a spear or bow and arrow. Defend from far away with one shot/one kill. Defend up close with an infinitely easy to find parts/mags/ammo gun (which around here is the G22)

Glock 17 (or: 19,22 or 23). Gen 2 or 3 for any of them.
Maybe an M1 or a plain-jane 14.5" AR-15 (no flash hider) in 5.56.

I guess it would all depend on support and scenario in mind.
If I had to keep 2 for survival? Glock 17 and a Garand
If I had to just keep 2 for normal use? 1911 (or Glock 23 gen 3) and a Colt (or Bushmaster) AR15 in 5.56

Ok, ok, we don't have moose or big bears here, and our deer are the size of golden retrievers.

Have fun lugging all that .308!

I'm not sure I understand your statement..
I only take ten rounds when I go hunting and only carry five.
The OP didn't say this was a doomsday carry, only which two guns would you live your life out with....

Same here. It's an easy choice since both guns and both cans are within 5 feet of me.

Oh, and some of you need to reread the topic title. It clearly states "One handgun, one rifle." Yet, at least a few of you have included shotguns in your battery of choice.

Just joking around. I know OP didn't say it was a SHTF scenario. I was implying a SHTF scenario. I was thinking about the survival aspect when we got off on the hunting tangent.

ETA: I'm not knocking .308 in any way. My only problem with it is that I can't afford it right now. I have a decent supply of G3 mags though.

For a lot of people, including myself, hunting is a significant part of owning firearms. I may never shoot a human, and I hope I don't, but I've shot me some deer.

Ah, gottcha....

Yeah, in a SHTF situation my choices might also be different (maybe), I'd have to think about it for a while.....

Tiny deer?

There's nothing that I want to kill regularly, that I cannot kill with complete confidence using .223 and heavy bullets. There's nothing I might need to kill, that I can't kill with lots of heavy .223 bullets

Although a 6.8 or 6.5 may be a better choice.

Ar-10 20' with a Schmidt & Bender 4x-16x, trijicon red dot on top.

Smith and Wesson M&P 9 with a streamlight tlr-2.

Whats everyone else go for?

I'd go for an old, but very well-kept Mauser bolt-action in 7.92 or a Bulgarian AK as far as rifles go.

Pistol, I'd go for a Ruger GP-100 .357 magnum or a Browning Hi-Power.
