You can reach out & destroy "stuff" with a 30-06 a long ways. I have a Remington 700 chambered in 30-06 for long range hunting, it will take down almost anything in North America.Originally Posted by stpete
For most of my buddies assault rifles are a tool in their tool bag so to speak. My personal AR10 is a toy/hog slayer.

I'm sorry bud, dont take this as a personal attack, because its not, but I have to point this out. What is an assault rifle? I've heard of bolt action rifles, semi-automatic rifles, and automatic rifles, but I've never heard of an assault rifle. I know of a semi-automatic AR-15 which is similar in appearance and functionality to the military version of the same rifle the M16A2/M4 Carbine, which is 3-shot burst/automatic in function, but, not an assault rifle.
Lol, sorry bud, again not personal, I just think that all of us as responsible gun owners, should not endorse or perpetuate the liberal lefts propaganda by using their buzzwords for which they use to attack our 2A rights. We should be using the proper terminology for our weapons, so that we don't become complacent, and conditioned to use these terms and thus cede power to the left in their campaign to destroy the rights of law abiding Americans to own firearms, and to defend themselves against violent criminals. Oh, and of course they 'respect the right of SPORTSMEN to hunt and shoot targets," which translates into, I want to ban every single firearm save for break-open shotguns and even then I want a person to be able to own only 1 or 2 firearms total. That is what liberals mean when they say things like that!

Yea, that makes sense, because I saw last week that banks get knocked over all the time and the weapon of choice is a 20 pound Barret .50cal. Bank robbers usually chose this weapon because its so easy to conceal. I also hear that gang bangers in Compton frequently carry the Barret .50cal under their XXXXXL White tee's, and pop off with them all the time. They are the weapon of choice in the ghetto, because the .50cal BMG ammunition is SO AFFORDABLE for these gang banger homies on welfare, yes, this is a great example of COMMON SENSE GUN LAWS, which help to drastically reduce crime...I fully support the banning of .50 caliber rifles, it goes so far in preventing crime............................................. ...................Riiiight...Damn!!! Found out Barrett 50 cal isn't legal in Cali.

Out of my stash, my Browning 1885 high wall ( 30-06) is my favorite. If I could own any gun, I'd have to go with an MG42.

I want a Scar H something serious. All time fav would be a 10mm MP5 though.
Of my collection, most likely my POF 18" AR15. Little mods here and there with the Trijicon Reflex. Although I do really love my modified Glock 29.

True that. A lot of my guns I like to shoot wouldnt be practical for carry. Guns I have for carry typically arent very fun to shoot. (Small frame, light weight, heavy recoil)

My Ruger P85 9mm is a blast, I dont get out to practice much so the 15+1 is good for meI have a 22 LR that was my dads when he was a kid and thing is great and pretty damn accurite. I want a Barret .50 though, but now it's so GD expensive AND I live in Cali so it would be a pain.....not impossible, just a pain

Favorite fun that I can afford and own
Beretta 92F
Sig P226 9mm
The Beretta 92FS is accurate as hell, feels great in my hand and never jams. The Sig P226 also feels great, is accurate and well made. Not sure which I like better.
I have a list of guns that I like but will never own. From that list, the one gun I would love to own and play with on weekends:
M61A1 20mm Vulcan Cannon
Attachment 140319
The current version of the M61, the M61A1, remains relatively unchanged from past models. In its basic form the M61A1 is a six barreled rotary cannon firing a variety of electrically primed 20mm cannon shells. The gun can be mounted either internally in aircraft, or externally in a pod arrangement, and has been mounted on both ground vehicles and trailers for use as an air defense weapon. The M61A1 can be driven hydraulically, electrically, or by ram air and has a variable rate of fire of between 4,000 and 7,200 rounds per minute (depending on individual settings and performance requirements).

I live just outside of NYC where the only ppl who own guns are criminals. So I don't understand any of what is being said here. I do believe in the right to bear arms, I just don't exercise it. I don't have any decisive view in regards to the banning of certain guns, auto, semi-auto, etc but I would like to know more. The only gun I ever wanted to get was a handgun, something with a lot of bullets bc I'm pretty sure my aim would suck. And something light so my wife could use it for self defense as well (hopefully not against me). But I've heard it's very difficult to get a hand gun permit in NY and even harder to get a permit to carry a concealed weapon. Is this true? My follow up clearly stinks bc just hearing this, wo confirmation, has ended my search

I've just recently taken up the hobby myself. Being a Canadian citizen living in California, I was a bit conflicted at first. More than half the men in my family are constables or detectives and I was always raised that guns are for law enforcement only. As a kid I fired a rifle at a military range, ONCE. That was my only exposure to guns. As a permanent resident in California, I became a registered gun owner this month and purchased my first FOUR guns - my wife had to leash me in the gun store. I was losing my mind too fast and buying too much at once.
My interest is more for sport and then personal defense as a secondary reason. I have an x26c taser and that would be my first choice for defense before turning to my hand guns or rifles. I don't like the idea of pointing a loaded gun at anyone, hence the taser would be my first line of defense. I guess it's partly because a gun is in opposition with my professional vocation (healing people, lol). I hope to never be in a position where a more lethal choice (loaded gun) is necessary. In the county where I live, concealed carry permits are forbidden. Again, I'm conflicted with that. I'd like to carry the x26c for defense.....but I'm also very temperamental so it's probably best for everyone that I don't carry. Lol
For now, I'm like a little kid in a candy store every time I walk into a gun store.

If I lived in New York City, I would move. The closest I ever came to NYC was across the Lincoln Tunnel from the Newark side. I about sh!t my pants. I hate cities. That is the mother of all cities. I told the dispatcher I was going to drop the load - someone else can come get it and finish the journey. I went back to the West coast and stopped driving a truck.
not kidding. NYC is responsible for my life taking a completely new direction and I never set foot in it. Scared the life out of me.

I'm with you completely on this. I don't carry concealed because if you ever pull out a gun you must be prepared to use it or the situation didn't warrant the brandishing of a firearm in the first place. Once you pull it out it's hard to put it back because of the escalation that usually ensues from there. I would pull it out every time someone looked cross at meI've just recently taken up the hobby myself. Being a Canadian citizen living in California, I was a bit conflicted at first.

Ahh yes, sweet rifle. That's on my list of guns I'll never own but who knows? That one is actually attainable, just pricey. The 20mm A61A1 is at the top. If I ever get filthy rich I'll buy one. given the opportunity to play with that or a Barrett .50 and I could only fire one or the otherm Vulcan hands down. I watched one completely shred an automobile, literally nothing but tiny pieces left. It was beautiful! I think the show was "Family Guns". The show where a father and son own a massive scale armory and you watch them go to sellers and test the wares. On history or NatGeo I think. I fell in love with her then lol.Very nice!

I have something similar. I didn't list it because it's not my favorite, although it is fun to shoot my cats off the tables and counters with it. I can't tell specifically who makes it just says: "Made in China No. 589" so I guess it's a "China 589"?Canadians are not allowed to have guns. However, you may use the KWE91053...

Are you guys from the UK allowed to own guns? Aussies? Other countries? What are.the gun laws in your various locales? I think I'm hijacking. This should be a new thread question. No?

I just picked up a Winchester M70 .270 rifle for dirt cheap I could pass it up.

Not sure what dirt cheap was but they are a great rifle and a great round.
I just finished dumping a 8 rounds through a Barrett, 200 rounds through a full auto AR, and about 250 rounds through a Gen 4 Glock 22 with about 3K in mods including a halo sight. Good day
