RE: Which Gun
Savage 99 lever action in .308 because I could use it to stop the people trying to take my Ithaca, M-44 Russian, Winchester, Traditions, Marlin, Mossberg, etc...
Of course, my pick is for purely practical reasons (hunt big game and etc.) but I' m also assuming I could hunt with it here in NY where it is shotgun only. I suppose I should choose my Ithaca m37 since I could use it for deer and clays and bird. For purely romantic reasons I' d take my Grandpa' s Winchester 60A bolt action .22.
