OK! Here is my pick!

#1 Single shot .22 RF-----( most Important)-----This is where some learns to shoot, not just spray lead in hopes of hitting something (Very Necessary in the Hunting field!

#2 12 ga. Pump shotgun----rugged, reliable even when the temps really drop.(ammo will fire)!

Noone cares what color panties you prefer---leave the sweet little double at home and tote a real gun.

#3 .30-06/.308 Will work anywhere in the good Old US of A
Few go to Africa, so stop dreamin!

Be Practical and realistic!
