There are always "if you could only have one gun" or "what is the best gun" threads. I figured I would start something a little different. Daydreaming the other day about my firearm collection and things I want to do to it I had to limit myself, as it got way to long. So here is the question, if you could only have ten guns, money is an object but not a serious one (I could never afford and MP5 for example) what would they be? Starting from scratch what order would you buy them in, say one a month... Mine... 1) 20 inch Colt AR HBar, flat top with ACOG, CavArms green furnishings, foregrip Reasons* this would be my primary defensive, SHTF weapon and would be my "most plinked" 2) Kimber Custom .45 * primary defense and field pistol as well as home defense, and because I want to get into three gun matches 3) Remington 870 magnum, ghost rings 18.5 inch, syn factory stocks, side saddle and top-fold stock *home defense and three gun 4) Ruger 10/22 "stock" *this was my first gun, have loved it since I was 12 5) CZ 75B compact w/surefire *replaces kimber as primary home defense because the wife could shoot it better (this is actually on my "to get" list) 6) AK probably a straight SAR 1 *back up SHTF and fun plinking 7) Remington 700 tactical in .308 with leopold scope *distance piece, hunting 8) Ruger MKII *Bug out hunting plinking, teaching others to shoot pistols 9) CavArms 16 inch flattop with eotech *for three gun 10) Match Grade M 1 Garand *my favorite piece of history |
A ten gun list, I like it. If I was starting all over again this would be the ten I would get to start a collection. 1) DSA 58 Carbine, with a Trjicon 3X9 or Leupold 3X9 *Reasons would be for deer hunting, and some plinking. 2)Benelli Super Black Eagle, with four shot tube extension *This is what I use for hunting and sporting clays now, and I love it 3)Ruger 10/22 with or with out a scope *You can always use a .22 and the Ruger will take 50 round mags 4)Glock 19 with 33 round mags *For me the Glock shoots great, not too spendy and will take 33 round mags 5)AR-15 of some type. Colt of DPMS would be nice, but any well made AR15 will do. *I would use a AR15 for plinking, and with a nice scope I would use it for varmit hunting 6)Ruger MKII .22 *Great for plinking, and training and they are fun 7)Remington 700 .308 *Everyone needs a bolt action for hunting. 8)HK USP .45 *This would be for the range, and matches 9)AK or MAK-90 *The guns is cheap and is fun to shoot 10)M1 Garand * it is piece of history and it is fun to shoot. There is my 10 gun list, if I had to start my collection over. All of the gun listed are still part of my collection. Here is my 10 gun list that I can not live with out. 1)HK91-for deer hunting 2)HK93-for collecting,plinking, and defense 3)HK94-for collection,plinking 4)Benelli SBE-for the reasons listed 5)Colt HBAR-plinking, varmits 6)HKP7M8-collecting, if there was a carry law in WI it would be a carry gun 7)Steyr AUG-collecting, plink, for fun 8)SteyrSBS Tactical.308-long range shooting, and hunting 9)DSA 58-hunting 10)Kimber84C.223-great looking single shot,varmit shooting |

Ok, I'll play.... 1> Kimber Eclipse 5" .45. Plate shoots, 3-gun, whatever; 2> Kimber 3" .45. Carry piece; 3> 16" AR15 w/light, it's tactical, baby; 4> 20" NM CMP AR. competition shooting 5> Mossy 500 Persuader 12 ga. Home defense; 6> SKB 12 ga O/U. Skeet; 7> FN Special Police Rifle, .308. When you wanna reach out and touch someone; 8> Ruger 10/22. A must have, of course; 9> Ruger MKII. Everyone needs a .22 pistol; 10>Tokarev SVT-40. Hey, I gotta be different. Fortunately, I have most of that list, so I'm doing pretty good. Hmmm, then why do I have a SAR-1 and a SAR-2 on the way? Awww hell, can we make it 12? Or maybe 13 so I can add an HK Tactical?

Ok, just off the top of my head: 1. AR15, CQB setup 2. AR15, SPR setup 3. LTR .308 4. 10/22 5. BHP 9mm 6. 1911 .45 either fullsize or commander 7. S&W .357 either 66 or 686 8. Ruger 22/45 9. .22 revolver (probably an S&W 617) 10. .308 battlerifle (FAL,AR10,M1A…) Hmmm, I guess I need to replace one of those with a compact CCW and maybe another with a deep cover backup…. Maybe just one AR15 lower with two uppers? And which gun gives up it's place on the list for an 870 or a 500? Maybe just one .22 handgun? As usual when we play this game, 10 is not enough…. |
