My 3-gun solution when I was a youngster was a low-budget 98 Mauser conversion to .270 Win, a Remington 1100 in 12ga that I couldn't hit anything with, and a Winchester 9422 that I could hit anything with.
Today it's a Tikka T3X stainless in 7mm-08, a Charles Daly (Miroku) over-under in 20ga that fits me so perfectly it's practically instinctive and an accurized Ruger 10/22 with a bull barrel that can shoot 1/2 inch groups at 50 yards.
That's about as good as it gets in a 3 gun battery.
