Yep. It definitely needs a old school quad rail.:)

That thing could make even baby Jesus cry...

for all around versatility, a 12 ga.
Slugs, high brass 00 buck, bird shot...
Great for hunting, home defense, clays

I'll let you folks fight over which one is best.

My only rifle (other than my childhood single shot 22) is a FAL. 21” barrel, fixed stock. Other than home defense, seems like it would be a not-awful ONE rifle?

wait a second. My Aimpoint red dot is not magnified. It's a tactical sight that lets you keep both eyes open, similar to a Trijicon. I have a 9-20 scope for long range. You're talking about a few hundred yards, at minimum.

Solid bolt action .308 with a 3x9 scope.

No magnification, both eyes open. I target at 100 and will take a few shots at 150 but I don't go much beyond that.

^ That's some good shootin' my friend. I can hit the red dot at 100 yards to zero in the scope. The range we use maxes out at 200 yards, but I can hit two red circles at 200 yards. As Higgie says, the .308 round will spin and cause drift to the right due to being ballistically not very efficient. That's with a Swarovski 20x scope with ballistic reticle.

Next gen US Army ammunition - 6.8x51mm. Note the stainless steel end cap > "Composite Case".

This is the "war ammunition" rated at: 80,000 PSI! It's been designed to defeat body armor.

Depends upon circumstances.

A minute past midnight...an assault weapon.. Ar 10, M1a, Ar 15, Ak 47..the winner would be a SR25. in 308.

For shytes and giggles,,,and here is where I cheat..CPA Stevens 44.5, 3 or more barrel set..barrels are interchangeable.. one in 22 LR for sure, and 30/06 or 308.

SAKO TRG22.. would be the BA rifle comes in 308, 300 Wm and 338 Lapua.

All-weather (stainless/synthetic) Mini-14.

But our beloved Turd banned those...

Here is where you cheat? Ted, it is one rifle, not one rifle in ever caliber.

Excellent, I have it in farmer flavor. People say an AR is more accurate, but it shoots better than I can see.

SS it will be looking good long after your ashes have scattered to the seven seas.

DP-12. Slugs and buckshot. Can switch to target loads for birds.
A bit heavier than my o/u but I’m sure I’d adapt.

Completely agree with you. My other “rifle” is a Springfield M1A.

Either an AR15 and a few uppers or an AR10 with a few uppers.

Hard to use the AR15 for regular hunting, even with some of the exotic ammo choices. The AR10 using 7.62 NATO or 0.308 would be good for hunting larger animals, 2 or 4 legged...

We know that "If you had one choice for a record LP and stranded on a Island", what band?
The age old question. No solid answer but here is mine...
Mini 14 stainless. And of course you can't just stop with that so a 10/22 on the side.

yipes the sticker will do that.

Did you miss it? A CPA Shuttleworth Stevens is ONE RIFLE with 3 interchangeable barrels in 3 diff calibers..

My choice depends upon circumstances...if past midnight an SR25, normal times CPA..

You could also fill that roll of one rifle for all seasons with A SAKO TRG 22...308, 300 WM and 338 Lapua..


As an aside I know a guy that has an example of EVERY Colt DA in every model, every caliber, every Barrel length and finish made from 1910 to 1945.. His collection is over 1000 pieces.. Guy made nuts and bolts for the auto mfg's in Detroit.
