You get three guns...

I am surpised nobody from Ontario has chosen:

Remington 742 in .308 for deer drives
Remington 760 in .308 for deer drives in slightly more open country
Remington 742 in .308 in case the first one jams.

simmer!

You clearly have to check your records - the open country drives call for a 760 in .270!

well played :)
 
I just don't see how you can go without a .22lr and a 12ga in a battery... So that really limits things right off the bat. With that under consideration I'd go with:

Savage mkII FVT with the Lyman peep sights it comes with, and a quick detach 3-9 scope if possible
SKB o/u 12 ga
375h&h win model 70 with something like a good 1.5-6 scope, also on quick detach mounts.

The things I'd really miss with this setup would be anything that could be used for centre fire rifle competition, like service rifle or f/TR, and anything lighter to carry or flatter to shoot or lighter in recoil for hunting but... Them's the rules
 
I just can't understand what you would do with 3 medium-bore centerfire rifles that you can't do with 1, especially to justify omitting a 22 and/or a 12 gauge for 99% of practical use. To each their own I guess...
 
Ardent, I've been pondering this since you posted it and still don't have a combo that I could live with in only 3 guns!!!!
I'll keep pondering and get back to you later................
 
Pretty easy for me to discard the rimfire rifles. Get a .223 and you can load it to emulate anything from 22 short right up to full power .223 loads. Very versatile cartridge when handloaded.

I don't hunt waterfowl at all, so don't need a shotgun, either.

2. Rem 572 Fieldmaster .22

I am torn with choice number 2. I may trade the 22 for a 223 at a later date.
 
M2 50 cal
40mm grenade launcher.
and a Ruger 10-22



if we have to go by the rules of normal comercial guns
savage 110BA in 338
rem 870 with 6pos stock and a weapon lite (surefire scout)
and a M&P 9mm or G19 whatever I could find the fastest those 2 are tied dead even for me.
 
Of what I own?

Savage 111 in .270, but I'd probably rebarrel it to .30-06 or .35 Whelan.
Ruger 10/22 stainless with a bull bbl and some VQ parts
Mossberg 930 w/ 18.5" and 28" barrels
 
Weatherby Mark V Deluxe - 300 Weatherby Magnum
Remington Model 870 Wingmaster - 12 gauge
BRNO 527 - 223 Remington
 
it would be tricky.
I would need a lh bolt in 30-06 or 7mm. probably 30-06.
definatly a 10/22 because I need it.
and I guess a 12g pump probably an 870 or maybe a benelli.

I think I would be just fine with these 3 for anything in NA and I can't see myself ever hunting overseas.That was suprisingly easy. Like ardent I'm a hunter first and gun-nut second. The only thing I would really miss is a varmint rifle.
