You can have ONE rifle. Whatever you like to do or want to be ready to do, that ONE rifle has to do it all. Target shooting, hunting, home defense, Red Dawn, survival, ratting, boat gun, anything - only ONE rifle is allowed you.

What would you pick and why? Model, caliber, and accoutrements.

Oh by the way you’re not allowed any other firearm. No pairing the ONE rifle with a tactical shotgun, a NFA subgun, an airgun, a pistol, etc. And, while this is implicit, you can’t change rifles. ONE rifle for life.

Think of it like Hunt For Red October. “One ping only”.

(I thought about this question because, seems to me, for much of American history a man might well have had only one rifle.)
