shotgun with shot. in this survival scenario, you'll see hunders or thousands of crows, bluejays, robins, squirrels and rabbits for each deer, elk or bear, and you could still defend yourself decently, as the fact is, very rarely do you need to shoot a predator to avoid being attacked. in a situation where i'd need to kill and eat the closest thing possible, I'd want to be able to hit birds, because I think they'd be among the first things to come by.
My thoughts exactly.

.223, small enough to take small game and enough penetration to take larger animals or defend yourself. The carts are small too. Shotgun was a really close second.

I went for the 30.06 because the 7mm-08 was not listed.... But if it was , that would be my first choice.

I would have to say the 22-250. Small enough bullet that I can take small game without too much damage, powerful enough to take some larger game with a well placed shot if needed, and flat shooting enough and accurate enough to take birds at a distance if needed. .223 and shotgun with shot would be a relaly close 2nd.

Heres the situation:
You got lost out in the middle of nowhere and dont know what kind of game will be their. Heres the twist, you only have to choose from one gun to defend and provide food for yourself. What gun would that be?
My vote went to "other" as the gun i depend on for 99% of my hunting wasn't listed, and it would be my number one choice!!!



I'd say my full time hunting gun has it "all" covered!

DM



I have seen two gun combos but not three. Where can I get one of those?

It's called a "drilling", and isee them forsale all the time on gun auction sites. And of course Krieghoff, Blaser, Heym, and others still build them new...

Google it for lots of info...

.22-250. Love that round. My Rem. M700 BDL in .22-250 is very accurate as well.

I voted the '06. however a .22 would be my number 2 choice. I just love my 30.06 so much I couldn't stand to be without it.
