Here in lies the problem. The way you figure, differs from the way others figure. We have all seen these threads before, only worded a little different. Some threads ask about 5 guns, some ask about 3 guns and some even ask about 1 gun. In my opinion, the 1 gun thread makes the most sense because if the chit really hit the fan you couldn't carry 5 guns and ammo very comfortably.(but this thread is about hunting, not SHTF)

However, if I had to choose five guns out of my safe, right now,(for hunting purposes), it would go like this....

1. Savage bolt action 22LR
2. Remington 700 VTR .223
3. CVA 30.06, single shot (with open sights for the timber)
4. Browning X-Bolt 300 WSM (I'm good out to 500 yards from antelope to elk)
5. Benelli M2 12GA (the best shotgun made)
