What are your top three 'must have' rifles?

[StevieP]

Saiga 12

AR15

.308AR or M1a

 

[Ski]

Always had a z astava m76 in 8mm on a wish list.
Or something similar?
Oh well ..you just don't see many S.A. in 8s

Inspire me with examples

357

AK

 

[Broc]

AK, AK, AK....Just saying.

But for everyone else: AK, 10/22 (a must), a good bolt action rifle - With iron sights, don't be a p@ssy.

 

[NHAtHeart]

Anyone that doesn't have a bolt gun with capability out past 600 yards should re-thing their list. AK's and AR's are great fun and all but no collection is complete without an accurate long range bolt gun.

Because MA is full of places to shoot past 300 yards....

Ranges? no, but there are plenty of places that you can reach past 300 yards.

 

[TurdFerguson]

M14, M1 garand and a Remington 700 in .308.

 

[xtry51]

AR15, AR10, M82A1

 

[Parker Duofold]

AR15
AK47
M1 Garand

Exactly, My Sam7 and any other 2 of my AK's

 

[2garfields]

Chinese Masuser Type 21
All number matched German K98
Maybe AK74

 

[GM-GUY]

AR or AK (your choice) with COMPLETE parts kit (at least one) - ideally with scope (ACOG) and BUIS
AR-10 with COMPLETE parts kit (at least one) - good/excellent quality scope with illuminated mil-dot type reticle
Heavy Caliber bolt gun with scope

All semi-autos should have at least 5000 rds per and the bolt gun as close to that as you can get

This is just me, and my heavy bolt gun is a 300 Weatherby


I assume nothing when it comes to the gun ban folks - a 300 Weatherby will rip through body armor pretty effectively - remember Ted Kennedy wanted to ban such guns and ammo.

 

[Knicks]

2k - ar/ak/10-22
5k - scar/ak/flame thrower

 

[sieveboy]

AR, AK and put the rest into reloading equipment and supplies. Primers and powder will be unobtainable for the first two years of a Hillary presidency.

 

[76Too]

Since I have almost 2 grand into my M&P10... I guess that's out of the question...

unless...

M&P10 and 2 $89 mosins from a past Black Friday deal...included bayonets for those up close and personal encounters!

This one:


this one:


and this one:


Total cost $1900.00

 

[AlKatori]

So uh? Why the bolt guns? It seems if we are limited to 3 it makes the most sense to me to use semi-autos as they can generally do everything the bolt guns can do.

 

[1919FAN]

AR Ak Scar heavy

Reliability, accuracy, taking it a little slower...
There are a lot of reasons why a nice bolt action is better than a semi.

Old eyes don't do too well at 600yds. At least in my eyes.

Every rifle I own is multi-automatic.

 

[tk421991]

Hmmm...

Shiloh Sharps - just have him watch Quigley Down Under and he'll understand
7.62x54r Vepr or a real Drag - the Hammer of Thor in terms of muzzle flash, but not bad recoil and mine was pretty accurate. Miss that gun.
Ruger 10/22

 

[robjax]

[carbuncle]

A .22 of some sort, a .308 bolt action and an AR. I will have all of these in the collection by mid-year...

if you can SEE 600 yards.

Get to it. It's not going to get easier.

To the OP:

AR-15, because black killy rifle
AK-47 because evil killy rifle from Soviet block.
Barrett in 50, because evil black shoot through an engine block super killy sniper rifle.

Then parts, optics and lots and lots and LOTS of ammo. Think generational quantities.

The old buy 2 shoot one should become buy 11 shoot 1

Oh yeah, a nice 45/70 Sharps...but few people reload the way it should be loaded, with black powder.

I would pick Pedersoli or Csharps. No 2 year wait.

 

[Broc]

Ranges? no, but there are plenty of places that you can reach past 300 yards.

Can you take me to one of these wonderful places where I can safely shoot past 300 yards?

 

[PaulR]

20 posts until someone said M1 Garand.

Why do you all hate America??

 

[Horseman508]

I'm guessing my 3 rifles of choice (not that they're the right ones) would be AR/AK, long range bolt gun, and a .22 rifle.

 

[atilla]

hi-point in 9mm, .40, and .45.

If I were to buy a Sharps off the shelf, it'd be the Lyman/Pedersoli 1878.
