Who needs 30?

I'll take my:
Sendero in 300 WinMag
Vaquero in 45 Colt
94 Trapper in 45 Colt
Mossberg 590

That covers long arms, pistols, carbines, and scatter guns.

I'd give up the Mossberg if I had to.

haha by the way, i think im the only one who will need 30 guns. it was just to get things started and to look at alot of different guns.

 

[PTK]

Narrowing my collection down to 30 guns would yield mostly pistols and NFA items.

 

[MMCSRET]

I do not want to drop back that far, it is so far back as to be below the horizon.

 

[John828]

if you could only have 30 guns, what would they be?

sprice,

That is thrice times five my current gun ownership, and I could only dream of such numbers. Maybe one day, but I will play the game:

rifles (centerfire):
1. Remington 700 BDL in .308
2. Pre-'64 Winchester in .308
3. Rem Model Seven in .308
4. Rem M7 in 7mm-08
5. (dreaming) Jarrett Beanfield custom in .270 Win
6. Reminton 700 CDL in 35 Whelen
7. Marlin 336 in 35 Rem
8. Marlin 444
9. Krieghoff double in .458 Winchester
10. Reminton BDL in .338 Win Mag

handguns (shorter list
1. any Nighthawk custom (almost) because I am partial to the local boys
2. S&W 617 (ten shot) stainless
3. Beretta 92
4. Glock 19
5. Modl 29 for a little hunting
6. Ruger MkI, II, or III (they're all a bitch to breakdown)
7. S & W 642
8. Maybe a Kawr
9. T/C (these thangs are really rifles)

shotguns (too easy

1. Rem 1100--12 ga.
2. Rem 870 -- 12 ga.

both with 28 inch multi-choke barrels

3. RUGER (whoops caps key) Red Label in 20--upland special
4. Old Remington autoloader built on a Browing patent
5. Browning Citori -- 20 gauge

done

That many guns would needlessly complicate my life.
Every time I moved I'd have to haul them all with me or find family members to watch them for me.
No thanks.

30

It would be the 30 each that I, my son, my daughter and son in law could carry out of the house in case of a fire.

The rifles were tough - I left some out…and a .22LR is a must:

1. M1 .30-06
2. CZ vz 58 7.62x39mm
3. Brno Model 1 .22LR
4. CZ 527 .223/5.56
5. AK-47 7.62x39
6. Dragunov type rifle with scope 7.62x54r
7. Remington 700 with scope .308
8. K31 7.55 Swiss
9. Springfield 1903 .30-06
10. SKS-45 (Russian Model) 7.62x39mm

Handgun list was easier: loose the plastic, add a revolver, and a .22LR is again a must:

1. Stainless steel Colt’s 1911 customized series 70 .45
2. Colt Defender .45
3. Ruger Redhawk .44 Rem Mag
4. S&W Model 686 .357 Mag.
5. Ruger Mk III .22LR
6. CZ 75 B .40 S&W
7. DW RZ-10 10mm
8. CZ 75 SP-01 9mm
9. Ruger GP 100 .357 Mag.
10. Browning HP .9mm

The shotgun list is good to go.

 

[Kind of Blued]

I could do this if it were a "pick 30 guns for free" thread, otherwise we would need to define "need".

Pistols
1-1911, I prefer my RIA, but any one will work
2-Ruger P89, because everyone needs a wondernine
3-S&W 5904, because everyone needs at least two wondernines.
4-Ruger GP100, because
5-S&W Model 29, why argue

Rifles
1-Winchester Model 70 in .270wsm
2-M1 Garand
3-Marlin 336 .30-30 because I'm a lefty and the scope mount on a model 94 sucks for me.
4-Mosin, why not, any variation you like
5-.22, any variation, I prefer the Stevens bolt action, I can't remember the model number offhand.

Shotguns,all 12ga except number 5
1-Mossberg 500A
2-Remington Model 58, because it's elegant
3-Benelli Super 90
4-Stevens 300a, or any of the hardware store variations.
5-Single shot breakover 20ga, the New England Pardner comes to mind.

I can't think of 10 in each category that I need, heck, I could barely come up with 5 that I need.

So a slight revision as to what I actually need to have to keep up my way of life. The .38 could be replaced if needed, but it's small and easy to keep in the truck and bullets are still relatively inexpensive for it.

1-Charter Arms offduty .38spcl
Used to humanely euthanize small hogs that I've caught. A .22 works but takes a little longer.

2-Marlin 336 .30-30
This is the breadwinner, no deer on the table without this rifle. It also gets used when hunting in heavy cover for hogs.

3-J.C. Higgins Model 20 12ga
No dove without this beauty.

4-Stevens/Savage .22 bolt action(can't remember the model #)
Used for rabbits, raccoons, squirrel, and other small, edible animals.
