I don't have #4 or #5. I'vr been looking for a 22 that I want to buy, #4 just isn't something I can afford at this time

I have 1, 2, 3, and 5 covered in spades. Just haven't found a need to own an AR rifle yet. Nothing against them at all, it's a great platform, I just haven't found a need for one yet.

Swap out the AR for a lever rifle and I'm covered many times over. No problems with ARs, just not my cup of tea.

I don't see what all the AR hype is about. Why does it need to be on the list of must haves?

That means you're 10 times better than both combined; (2+3)x10=50
Haha, nerdy math joke! Yes I'm Asian and best believe I'm good at math!

For the record, got all that covered. As a top 5, I agree with the list but a lever gun should definitely be an honorable mention.


I'm a dude who likes long barrels!

I have these, but I would change the list a bit.

The bolt gun should be restricted to centerfire, as rimfire could be covered by #5.

#4 should be a repeating rifle of your choice, to include lever actions or other semi autos outside of the AR platform.

It doesnt Mickey. This is just a forum and we are having fun talking about most of our favorite subjects. Guns!!

Lever gun wouldnt be a bad trade for the AR but all the others are must haves. And I dont have a lever so it wasnt on my list.

My AR is extremely useful for hunting pigs in the natl forest. You rarely get a shot over 60 yards and great for quick acquisition and light to carry around also. Also when you have an AR in your hand the Game warden doesnt look at you like you are out looking for deer when carrying a bolt action/deer rifle when scampering around in WMA's out of deer season

They are good for smoking yotes also!

I'm with ya. I was just having fun too.

I have all on the list plus a lever. Though my AR doesn't excite me like it does others.

Agreed. But I'd throw in a lever gun to bump it to six... Just because 5 seems a little light to me.


To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target.

I have them all covered multiple times. Does that mean I cannot buy anymore? I agree lever gun should at least be co-host for 4. Ionic Classic and Instrumental in our history.

Just finished the list and crossed #4 off the list last weekend. Thanks to Sons of Liberty Gun Works out of San Antonio for the absolute dream of a gun! Bought it at McQuenney Gun Club and they are always great to work with as well.

I have all of them except a shotgun. I'm a big gun enthusiast, but I don't hunt. Who knows, I might get into skeet/trap shooting. In that case I'll get a nice Beretta o/u....

I didnt care for AR's much either until I took it hunting one day for pigs and figured out it was the perfect rifle for hunting/stalking pigs in thick forests. Now I love it "almost" as much as my 30-06 bolt action.

Sig P-series pistol
M-4 rifle
22 rifle
12 gauge shotgun
308 bolt action precision rifle

I like levers and revolvers, but they can't push into this list for us.
