I know most of you like to hunt different types of animals, in different conditions, and different terrains, all things considered, now group them all into one. If you could only have one, what would you say is the one gun/caliber that would fit your pleasures

If we are talking just one hunting rifle, I'd keep my 270. If you mean just one gun period, it would be a shotgun.

Right on with the shotgun. You can still use it to shoot a deer.

If I was down to one long arm, it would likely be a shotgun.
If I was down to one hunting rifle it would be my Rem 700 in .30-06.
Not part of the original question, but I'll throw this out anyway: If I was down to one handgun, it would be a .22 revolver.

Lots to be said for the 12g argument and very little to say against it. Excluding a shotgun?........ .30-06 would be my choice for when the zombies come.....and they are coming  Chupa

If I could only own one gun it would be something that is popular in some european countries where you can only own one. A DRILLING, 3 guns in one.
If talking about centerfire rifles for big game, Probally the 6.5-384 I have on order.
If talking about survival situation Giove me a 22LR, can carry plenty of ammo, small game is easier to find and if callupon a 22 will kill larger game with a well placed shot
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true
Mainstream news might be fun to watch
