If You Only had 3

[cslinger]

HK
Beretta
Smith and Wesson or Ruger

Those three would cover my needs nicely.

 

[Zerodefect]

Glock 23.4

Larue AR15

Mossberg 940 Jm pro, or Bennelli equvilant.

 

[jmr40]

I would choose a bolt gun in 308
A pump 12 ga
A Glock 19

My wife would choose a Ruger 10/22
A Sig 365
An AR15

Hope that isn't cheating.

All 20 kids you have need there 3 guns to lol.

 

[dcloco]

22 rimfire - Ruger bolt action

12 gauge pump - Rem 870

6.5x55 Swedish Mauser M96 or Modern bolt action in 308 or 3006

 

[CryptKeeper5]

First would be my 4" S&W Mod 19-4 .357 Revolver. Because it's a beautiful and functional pistol for both target and self defense.

Second would be my Marlin Mod 39A "Golden" Mountie .22LR rifle. Great for just going out and enjoying pulling a trigger.

Third would be my Ruger Mod 77 in .280 Rem. Because there's nothing that I'll ever hunt which can't be taken with it.

I have no need for a shotgun. I don't shoot or hunt with one currently so don't foresee it as a need or want.

No want for one of my "black" rifles either. If I only had three, I certainly don't want to see it optically polluting my 3 others!lol! To each their own though!

 

[WrongHanded]

.40S&W: Glock G23.4

• The .40 is decent. I'm familiar with Glocks. Nice compromise on size. I already own it.

.44 Magnum: Ruger Redhawk (Stainless 5.5" barrel)

• Common Magnum cartridge. Strong reliable gun for woods carry and big predator (or moose) defense. Not too short, not too long. I already own it.

.308 Win: Ruger GSR

• Another common cartridge, that is reasonably inexpensive and available. Might not be the best choice for all hunting applications, but can be pressed into many roles. I like the feel and how it shoots. I already own it.

 

[Skeptic13]

.308 Scout Rifle
12 Guage Pump Shotgun
And then either 9mm handgun, 22 lr rifle or .223 AR depending on the situation and circumstances I was living under.

 

[Lnf Crzr]

Cartridge and firearm are the guidlines

HK
Beretta
Smith and Wesson or Ruger

Those three would cover my needs nicely.

 

[Heir Kommt Die Sonne]

as with most threads i'd commented like this, my 'top 3 picks' always change.
Right now?
my 3:
Ruger Vaquero in 44-40
Smith & Wesson mod-25 with 4'' barrel
Knights Armanent M110 or a look alike AR 10

 

[D.B. Cooper]

Becouse it’s a tough question

Not really. These threads come up at least once or twice per year, and there always seems to be a pattern. But they are fun, and I'm sure that was your intent.

Savage 110 or Winchester Model 70 in 30-06. Pretty much a do it all rifle. If I thought I'd never have to hunt dangerous game, I'd probably stick with my 243. But definitely a bolt gun in either of those. I actually prefer the 243 because you can stretch from varmint to caribou. A little light for moose, certainly wouldn't want shoot a bear with it.

Some sort of pump 12 ga shotgun, preferably an Ithaca. (Actually, preferably a Winchester Model 12 but those can't take steel shot.) Obviously highly versatile depending on chokes and loads. Grouse to geese, big game in "shot gun only" hunts, home defense in a pinch.

Ruger Security Six or GP100 revolver in 357 Magnum. Home defense, self defense/concealed carry. Load it with light 38 spl for small game hunting.

So there ya have it. Bolt gun, shotgun, revolver. All bases covered.

 

[Ignition Override]

.22LR, : handguns and rifles.
9x19 mm handguns.
7.62x39. Rifles, …not short SBRs for Amazon Prime.

The multiple guns in each chambering are already here, and most of you can imagine what they are.

 

[bannockburn]

Browning Hi-Power-9mm.
Colt AR15-.223
Maverick Model 88-12 gauge

 

[jarhead127]

4 would be better

Yeah, absolutely agree! But if three........

12 ga Rem 870
.223 Rem AR15
9 mm Sig 320
Insert .22LR 10/22 here cuz no list is complete w/o it!

 

[CryptKeeper5]

More interesting would be firearms currently owned. "Fantasy" lists are easy!

 

[Lnf Crzr]

Firearms gents. It’s very easy to say 223/9mm/12g or 22lr

The objective is your firearm choices in certain cartridges

 

[JR24]

.308, probably an AR (but an M14/M1A, Galil or SCAR would be ok too)
Glock 19

hmm. Smart says a 12 gauge of some kind but I haven’t pulled a shotgun out of the case in years

So I’ll go with a .45 1911, probably a Wilson Combat.

So final answer

AR10 .308
Glock 19
WC 1911 in .45 ACP

45 acp or Colt? Mod 25

 

[lightman]

For me;
A 22 rimfire
A 12 gauge shotgun
A rifle adequate for big game. Probably a 308 as thats what I hunt with.

I might substitute a handgun in place of the shotgun.

What firearms

 

[Lnf Crzr]

I’d say
Mmm -

My 357 Marlin -as 38 powder puff load to 357 hot rounds would cover a good amount.

My Remington 660 in 308 with detachment scout scope could cover lots of rifle requirements

And a 686+ 357

Would miss a 22 & 44. Yet only 3

This will change I’m sure

 

[champ0608]

Right now it would be my:

1) 7.62 Garand. Bought from the CMP when I was 18, re-barreled and match conditioned by me and my grandpa for shooting in NRA high power matches. I only shoot it a couple matches a year right now, but if I'm limited to three rifles, this is the one I want to finish the Distinguished Rifleman's Badge with.

2) Winchester Model 52, circa 1940. A great rifle to have on hand for position practice and winter smallbore leagues.

3) Winchester Model 72a. My first rifle, given to me by my grandpa when I was a young pup, and a great plinkin gun.

 

[Legionnaire]

4-inch Ruger GP100 .357 Mag
Mossberg 500 12 gauge
Remington Model 7 7mm-08

I'd miss my .22s

 

[GNP]

Three that I already have, a 700 in 7mm-08, 870, and a 1911.
