If you could only keep three guns, what would they be?

[Wyatt Smith]

I can’t see getting by without either a shotgun or a 22lr for hunting, and can’t see being without a handgun for defense. So….
Remington 870, with both vent rib and riot barrels.
CZ 457 American 22 lr
Smith and Wesson 28 357 magnum.
That would leave a big hole for sure.
I wish I didn’t have to decide between hunting and defense.

Honestly this is just asking me to think like my grandparents or even myself in my 20s.

Ruger 10/22
Thompson/Center Encore in 30-06
Remington 870 12 gauge.

To be quite honest, the 12 gauge gets little use anymore, so I could switch that to a pistol.

I would have a very hard time choosing only three. So, I am going to answer this way:

Three hunting guns:

1. 22lr - Silenced Bergara BMR carbon
2. Husqvarna Swedish Mauser in 30-06
3. Custom ER Shaw in 375HH

Three self defense-survival guns:

1. 22lr Sako Quad custom by GA Precision in McMillan A5
2. 12ga SPAS12 shotgun
3. Colt 1911 series 70 combat custom in 45acp

Three SHTF guns:

1. H&K USP 45acp
2. Frankford Arsenal M16 with short M4 upper
3. Sako S20 Hybrid Tac in 6mm/08

But since I live in the USA and enjoy my constitutional rights, I do not have to decide.

Sorry, that’s cheating, only one barrel allowed for your Blaser!

As long as you’re “cheating” you better add a 22lr barrel.

If I’m cheating I’m adding another woman.

Those are calibers but what rifles are they in?

Actually the .308 and .300WM are the same caliber.

Here's my list.

CZ 550 in 500 Jeffery . (new picture soon, Kevin Weaver has added an ebony forend and grip cap for me)

Late 60s vintage BDL in 270 Win, I hunted hard with for 40 years never failed me. It's the rifle on the bottom of the image

My Springfield 1911 V16 Longslide in 45 Super

 

[TerryBlauwkamp]

That's about what I have now:

1 Skeet gun

1 Trap gun

1 300 Win Mag

 

[BJH65]

For hunting, my three choices would be:

CZ 550 416 Rigby
Winchester Pre 64 M70 Fwt 30-06
Marlin M39 “Mountie” 22S,L,LR

If restricted to 3 of my guns for everything: hunting, self defense, survival both urban and rural:

Custom Remington 700 Proof Research 308
Marlin M39 “Mountie” 22 S, L, LR
Glock 17 9mm

Or

I’d go buy a Blaser R8 with 2 barrels in 300 win mag, 416 Rem Mag. TC Encore with 5 barrels in 12 Ga, 50 Cal muzzleloader,22 LR, 30-06, 375 H&H, then an LWRC REPR MKII 7.62 NATO as my 3rd.
