If you could only have two?

If you could only have two guns from your collection, a rifle and a pistol, what would they be? I think I would have a very hard time choosing.

1. My Browning 7mm Mag. with 3-9 Leopold.
2. Kimber Classic Stainless Target 1911 45ACP.



When Clinton left office they gave him a 21 gun salute. Its a damn shame they all missed....

    If I could have only two guns from my collection, I could keep the whole collection. Not exactly, but close.

    Browning a-bolt stainless stalker in 300winmag w/leupold 3x9x40 and my mossberg w/ 18in barrel.

    That should take care of both the long and short of it , so to speak.

    Jody ... I could only wish I had BIG GUNS like those to play with

    On either, I'd be torn; It would depend on circumstances ... Just for general purposes, it would probably be:

    Rifle - Steyr AUG A2 or HK SR9T
    Pistol - Kimber Pro-Carry CDP or Beretta 92FS

    I hope I never have to decide

    =================================
    The only bad thing about choosing a Kimber ...
    ... there are so darn many models to choose from!

    If you really desire something, you'll find a way ?
    ? otherwise, you'll find an excuse.

    kimber you have an A2??? I only wish.............
    First choice would be my stainless Winchester 1300 marine w/18 inch barrel and pistol grip. NICE! Next choice would be my .40 springfield P9 because it's new and i'm not bored of it yet.

    hey all!

    JODY COMMANDER:

    This is an old joke, but your post made me remember it.


    The comedian is talking to the audience and says "LADIES AND GENTLEMEN --- Dolly Parton is in our audience tonite !!!!!"

    "Well, wait a minute ---- I was mistaken ---- it's 2 bald headed men sitting together!"

    Now this has nothing to do with the "two favorites" post; my two favorites are my trusty old M-14, and my P-85 9mm Ruger.

    Only 2? Dang that is hard! But if it were for survival purposes, I guess I would grab my Remington 270 and then ene of my Taurus mdl 85's. Or maybe one of my 870's and old .22 revolver that is a hoot to shoot. But then again, my S&W CS-9 and Marlin 30-30 wouldn't be bad either. On the other hand, I could grab my "new" old Mosin and my Savage Striker in 308. Or just maybe.... Dang, you sure ONLY two? That is too hard!

    Being's I have no idea why I can only have two I guess I'll keep my military model 12 Winchester riot gun with 20 " barrel and my scoped model 63 Winchester 22 because they are my favorites. Of course everybody know's that you can't kill anything with a 22.

    Ruger M77 MKII .338 Win Mag, and Ruger SRH 454 Casull. As Tim Allen says 'More Power ooohhhh, oooohhhhh, ooooohhhh, ooooohhhhh, oooohhhhh.' What more can you ask for? .338 with a Barnes Bullet from 160gr. on up to whatever, and the 454 downloaded or loaded to the max, pretty much covers it...well.... then again.

    A tough choice to make. To be on the safe side probably my Winchester Model 70 30-06 and Ruger Blackhawk Convertable .38,.357/9mm. If I had to grab two in a hurry on the way to the mountains my choice would be the M-1 Garand and Ruger P-89.

    Pack slow, fall stable, pull high, hit dead center.

    Sounds as if you guys are having as hard of a time choosing as I would. I think I agree with the saxonpig, Id kill anyone who tried to make me choose.
