Which battery of firearms would you rather own:

[readyeddy]

Group 2. A Model 70, Grulla and a Colt Python would be a nice trio.

 

[George P]

From those choices, group 2, that was easy!

DM

I figured you would opt for a drilling.............

 

[CraigC]

Definitely group #2, especially if I can trade the .357 towards a .44 or .45.

 

[cdb1]

Can I go with neither and reorganize?

A savage isn’t a bad gun, but I would buy a 10 or 110 over an axis. Give me a .243 and a .270 win.

For shotgun I see no reason to not stay simple with a durable beater, give me an 870 or a 500 in 12 ga 3” synthetic. I would be perfectly fine with a Maverick too.

Pistols are always a trade off. If I can’t have a witness elite 10mm then I want either my m9 or a 686 6” 6 shot.

Nope, it’s either or.

 

[WestKentucky]

Nope, it’s either or.

Then option 2. 270win, 12 ga, 686 6"

 

[ApacheCoTodd]

Wow, not a single one of the firearms in either group has EVER been on my radar.
Is there an option to trade all of 'em for a couple-three desirable firearms?

Todd.

 

[bearman49709]

If I had to pick from those two it would be #2.

 

[Varminterror]

Group 2 in principle for the game, but I don’t particularly care for the actual firearms listed in the group.

And of course, neither group is remotely large enough. I can’t imagine owning so few.

 

[Kendal Black]

Group 1, for functionality has a beauty all its own.

 

[EnglishTom]

Neither. Win 70 in 243, SMLE in 303Brit, Rem 870 in 12g 1911A1

 

[George P]

If we're going to play changing things around;
then a Perazzi bespoke 12 gauge, a George Hoenig combination double rifle, and a Wilson edc x9 total cost for all three - ~$55,000

 

[Llama Bob]

Hmm, this doesn't even seem vaguely close. M70 supergrade in 7mm mag, 12ga Grulla (a very usable sidelock usually worth in excess of $5K), and a Python 2.5" for carry. It'd be sparser than I'd like, but at least all the components would do what I asked of them. Group 1 is full of stuff I'll leave to other people.

 

[DM~]

I figured you would opt for a drilling.............

IF only THAT had been one of the choices!

DM

 

[entropy]

2, but only if the 70 is a Pre-70 .300 H&H, and the Colt revolver is a 2.5" Python.

 

[cdb1]

2, but only if the 70 is a Pre-70 .300 H&H, and the Colt revolver is a 2.5" Python.

I’d love to have a M70 .300 H&H but in a current make, and a Colt Diamondback.

 

[JeeperCreeper]

Group 2 easy.

 

[hillman23]

Group 2

 

[Picher]

I'd choose Group 2, then trade the SxS for an O/U. I don't shoot side-bys well.

The handgun would be a 6" Python. I used to have two, but got rid of them along the way. Carried it on the force and shot it in NRA Pistol, Steel Plate and Police Combat matches. Double-action wasn't as smooth as S&W, but loved the way it handled recoil in rapid fire.

The 6" came out of the break-front holster as fast as a 4" coming out of a standard holster and looked pretty mean.

 

[someguy2800]

If the first choice was 20 savage axis’s I’d still pick option 2

 

[TN Outlaw]

Group 2

 

[Bfh_auto]

I grew up shooting sxs shotguns and revolvers.
I'm out on the g19. They don't fit me and I don't want a 9mm if it's the only handgun.
I would prefer the axis to a model 70 because I have 2 that were amazingly accurate with a little work.
Group 2

 

[bassjam]

Group 2, without hesitation.

 

[cdb1]

Looks like style, class and taste are winning.

 

[Corpral_Agarn]

Group 2

This.

 

[Ignition Override]

No idea about the rifles or shotguns.

My CZ PO1 had already seen over 10,000 rds. when I bought it in December. I've shot at least 700 rds.
It is extremely reliable and rock solid. And fits quite well in my Crossbreed holster which is marked "Sig 229R-1".
