Whats your Long Gun plan?

[dom1104]

Been doing some shifting around, and have finally settled on my "long gun plan".

As I see it I have 3 needs for non-rimfire rifles, + a shotgun.

1. HD: 16" Suppressed AR
2. Sport: 20" DMR style AR
3. Hunting: 20" 458 Socom AR upper
4. Shotgun: FN SLP Mark 1


Those 4 guns, solve my "rifle issues".

What are your "Rifle Issues" and how have you planned on solving them?

 

[Fordtough25]

That's a nice setup, very functional! I have a variety of rifles that serve me no purpose other than to have fun and shoot. A couple others are for hunting and or defense. My list changes based on what I enjoy at that time.

rifle issues: not owning enough. dont see that one going away anytime soon despite owning 4 shotguns and 5 rifles.

That looks like a solid group of long guns. I have a few that are my goto's for certain tasks:

Long-Distance-Social-Work = Savage 110 Tactical in .308
Medium-Distance-Social-Work = Fulton Shorty AR/Ruger Mini-14(s)
Target/Training = Fulton .22LR Upper for Armalite 20" AR
Up-Close-Social Work = Mossberg 590

My plan...get as many as I can!

 

[spencer rifle]

HD/up close: Mossberg 500A
Medium distance: AK47
Long distance/hunting: SKS or possibly Mosin
short distance/hunting/small animal: AR7

My plan? To own as many as I can. One never knows what might happen, for example I have several dangerous game rifles in case rogue elephants from Circus City run rampant through my neighborhood. Likewise zombie locusts can be dispatched with shotshells from my smoothbore Remington 572. I was a Boy Scout and believe in being prepared!

Dangit, tried to rep you for this one, but I have to spread it around. +1!

 

[hoosierken]

That looks to be a very well made plan for rifles that cover everything. Makes me think that I need to be thinking more along the same lines.

If I hit the lottery my plan would be to simply buy one of each in every caliber. After that, I'd intend to update the collection each year as new models came out.

In my real life collection though things are a little bit different. I like the idea of having one of each style.

For example, I own the following:

Single shot
semi suto
lever action
bolt action
pump action

With that kind of inventory I have plenty of choices for going to the range. I can chose something for shooting fast up close, maybe shooting slow really really far away, maybe shooting far away fast, maybe making a single shot at 500 yards and calling it good. Maybe, I want to feel like a cowboy and take out the iron sighted lever action.

My plan is to try them all and enjoy it as much as I can while I'm still young enough to do so.

Well with everything from 22 rimfire up through .458 caliber heavies I figure I am set for anything. To be honest most people would be set with a 22, a .30 cal, and a shotgun. These will handle just about anything in CONUS.

 

[sentinelrepublic]

I have a shtf weapon system; one sks with enough mags to wield 100 rnds and a 9mm with enough mags to wield 40 rnds and a load bearing vest to carry all! I have a grand total of 1800 rnds locked up for emergencey.

That system makes me feel safe. however, I do have my eyes set on a the colt m-4! She would complete life!

 

[superjoe76]

I am currently going to get a Mosin Nagant, but I am saving for a Remington 700 VTR .223! I just love the look and no one I know has one.

 

[WebSnyper]

I have a .308 Bolt gun and a cheap .22 semi auto, just picked up a 5.56 AR. Next will be a S&W 15-22 to setup identically to the 5.56 for cheap training purposes.

The plan after that will be mags/ammo/soft cases, etc.

 

[littletommy]

I have quite a few Mosins, I figure I won't be doing any longer range shooting than what they will handle. I have a few AKs, for everything else. I really want a 10/22, but I'm debating getting one of those, or a nice bolt action .22. When I have a .22 that I'm happy with, I'll have it pretty well covered.

 

[hooky]

A few shotguns for hunting and home defense.
A .22 for target plinking and small game.
A couple of .223s for medium range stuff.
I still need a decent .30 cal variant for longer range/bigger game.

 

[SmileDocHill]

If I were forced to sell all and acquire the most minimal long guns possible that I would have to live with forever I (currently) would decide on the following. I like my Colt 20" HBAR tack driver for all my 5.56/.223 needs out to 400 yards. I get at least 4MOA (more like 2-3) with my .22 conversion in it, and that would fulfill my .22 rim fire needs and it only adds the weight of the conversion kit. My dream is to acquire a 6.5 Grendel upper for it to fulfill the "up to 1000 meters" niche and allow me to be anti-social and effective in high power competition out to 1000 meters. (I'm actually more looking at the generic 264 LBC that shoots 6.5 G)
That results in only 2 barrels to thread and have suppressors for.
Oh yeah, a converted Saiga 12 HAS to be in my future.

 

[tenring]

Hmmmm, guess I've mellowed out a bit, just picked up a Cooper 21 single shot in .223. Cute little bugger it is.

My plan is a with my M1A. I own a Loaded National Match. It has a SS NM barrel and NM trigger. I have ordered my NM Spring Guide, NM Piston, Shim kit and a Troy Industry's MCS.

With the MCS I am running a Leupold Mk3 10x40, Troy Midevil Muzzle Break, Magpul MBUS, and once I have another few $100 I will buy a 45 degree mount and a small red dot all on a NM rifle.

Gives me a long range tactical semiautomatic that's capable of CQB.
