1 to choose from?
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?

Witha .22 you could carry alot of shells and though it might not be as good for defense you will more likely need it for food and the most likely game would be small game. A shotgun would be a close second though it would be harder to carry as many shells.

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.

I chose the .243 its small and light enough to to carry all day, powerful enough to take out deer and elk if the occasion presents itself, yet small enough to hit a rabbit in the head without destroying "all" the meat.

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