OK just musing:
These are the guns that I think you would need to cover all situations in NAmerica. Obviously preference is happening here (that's why I want your opinions). When specific the rifle I think is important as well as the round.
Rifles
Marlin 1895 SBL 45-70
.338 Win Mag
M1A Socom (SHTF gun)
270 (Love my BAR!)
.223 SHTF gun and varmint gun
22 target rifle (remember, this is minimalist, otherwise I would have said 17HMR...but 22 are so cheap and plentiful.)
Shotguns
A5 12 gauge (beautiful and effective)
Mossberg 12 guage with an extra rifled barrel perhaps also a short barrel and a pistol grip stock (cheap, dirty duty, etc)
Autoloaders
1911 (Kimber )
9mm or 40 cal with large cap mag (SHTF)
22 target pistol
Revolvers
(All Rugers )
44 mag Redhawk
357 Blackhawk
22
That's 14 guns (You can see I favor the rifles over the pistols, but as I see it this is what someone would need in NA. You might, for example say 375 H&H instead of the 338, but that's my thoughts.
What do you think? Would any of you get more specific on the models than I have?
