One needs a .22 long rifle to train and with which to procure a small game at moderate ranges. My choice would be a Ruger 10-22 with a fixed four power scope.
One needs a defensive pistol with which to defend family and home at short ranges. My choice would be a Browning Hi-Power in 9 mm.
One needs a shotgun with which to defend family and home at moderate ranges and with which to procure winged game. My choice would be a 12 gauge Benelli.
One needs a major caliber rifle with which to defend the home and family at medium to long ranges and procure large game. My choice would be a Winchester model 70 stainless in 30-06, mounted with either a 2.5 x 8 or 3 x 9
In this day and age I think one is wise to have a combat arm. My choice would be an AR platform in 5.56 with some sort of optical red dot site.
