OK, since i started the insanity with my 3 gun battery thread I'll play.

1. Ruger 10/22, small game and plinking

3. Winchester 70 .270, Jack O'Connor had one, 'nuff said
4. Winchester 70 Stainless Featherweight 7mm Rem Mag, go anywhere hunt anything rifle

8. Springfield M1A, the bigger SHTF rifle
9. Winchester '92 .44 Mag, John Wayne had a '92 'nuff said
10. Browning 1876 BPCR .45-70, blowing smoke rings out the muzzle is just plain fun
11. Marlin 1894 Cowboy .45 Colt, still like to shoot CAS
12. Canela's .54 caliber muzzleloading flintlock, the ultimate EOTWAWKI rifle for when there's no ammo, brass, primers, etc.

Travis

23"

I'll pm you with the results of my load work up.

Not a varmint hunter so...

1. 10/22
2. 12-ga Citori O/U (upland FW))
3. 12-ga turkey gun
4. AR15 .223 M4gery
5. M700P (fast-twist heavy) .223 (will be .223AI next)
6. 7mm-08 sporter
7. 30-06 sporter
8. .358 Model 7
9. .325 WSM Montana
10. 300 WM Sendero (will probably be a big 7mm next)
11. .338 WM sporter
12. A lever gun

Honestly I'd be more interested in a list of what scopes people had and why...

Scopes are easy..

1. 6x42 Leupold
2. 6x42 Leupold
3. 6x42 Leupold
4. 6x42 Leupold
5. 6x42 Leupold
6. 6x42 Leupold
7. 6x42 Leupold
8. 6x42 Leupold
9. 6x42 Leupold
10.6x42 Leupold
11.6x42 Leupold
12.3.5-10x42 Sightron

Leupold VXII 2-7X33
Leupold VXII 2-7X33
Leupold Vari-X III 1.5-5X20
Leupold M8 3X

Might like to add a VXIII 2.5-8X36 one day.

When I'm all done screwin around and horse trading and wildcatting, I'll probably have the safe stocked as follows:

1. Ruger 10/22
Small game, plinking fun.
2. NEF Ultra varmint Handi Rifle .223
Small to medium game.
3. Remington 700 Alaskan Ti .270 Win
Varmints to the largest ungulates, long range shooting, mountains and rough conditions
4. Savage Scout 10FCM .308
'Lopes to moose, truck gun, everyone should own one 7.62 NATO
5. CZ 550 .375 H&H
Mulies to largest of DG, (Plus, you never know when you're gonna win that Safari at the next SCI banquet) Everyone should own a gun that makes you curse, spit, shake your head, and talk loud for a couple days after you shoot it.
6. Marlin 1895 XLR 45-70
Because you have to have at least one "Big Bore" and one lever. Might as well be both and a classic.
7. Remington 870 12 Ga. (Slug and Choke)
Birds and clays. And because you can�t use a rifle in all states.
8. Knight KP1 SS .50calx209 ML
Exposed hammer, sealed action, 209 primer, low maintenance, stainless muzzle loader.
9. Ruger Mark III Model 22/45 KP678HMK3
Everyone should have a .22 pistol if they want to be good with their bigger handguns.
10. Springfield XD 40
CCW, HD, and great reviews from all of my friends that own one.

So with your 12 gun battery do you go deep into the bush,shoot twice and eat what you shoot?

sidepass

If you take 2 12 gun batteries, in series, will I get a 24 gun battery?
