If you could only have three.....

[Bobby Linton]

In the nostalgia thread, several people commented on their grandaddy's gun rack? Most only had the bear essentials. If you could only fill a three gun rack, what would you choose? High powered rifle, shotgun, and a .22. Anyone brand loyal enough to fill the rack with three from the same maker?

On a budget Mossberg ain't bad...………...

My number one game taker of all time is a Mossberg 500 on all species of game. $179 at Walmart 30 years ago.

All semiautos. I think shooting the same action all the time weather it be a dove, squirrel, or deer makes good sense.

No budget, just what you would want short of all custom stuff.

I have a marlin 336 30-30 and a marlin 39A 22, if I just had a marlin lever 410 I'd have one sweet lever gun rack.

If I had to prune my gun collection down to three, it would be:

My .54 flintlock-you can load it light or heavy, and you can make your own powder, bullets, and flints if necessary.

My old 60's model Winchester 250 .22 lever action. You can kill about anything with it if need be.

My Mossberg 500. A shotgun is the most versatile gun out there. You can load it with anything from birdshot to buckshot to rifled slugs. The Mossy isn't fancy, but it is 100% reliable and almost indestructible.

I would hate to give up my Glock, though.

Browning Model 1885 High Wall in 270.

Winchester Model 12 12 gauge shotgun.

Chiappa Half Pint Sharp`s 22 Magnum.

I already have the first two.

Now I gotta go look up that .22 mag...……...

Like the flintlock idea. If I were to have to start over with those three guns, I'd give CZ a long look. A Bobwhite shotgun and 2 of the CZ American bolt action rifles would be a good start.
