I like the thought of 5 barrels, but the logistics is ugly. I like to keep things simple. One gun case. Light and easy to transport.

The RULES.

Two barrels, one frame and the ability to handle any situation. (Think EOTW type scenerio, and you could only grab one gun case)

Only choose from barrels listed.

At least one barrel must have open sights.

Factory ammo only.

Choose carefully.

Thanks,
RW

well it will only let you select one, but i would choose the 12 ga and the 308. I would rather have a 30 06 but if ammo were going to be an issue (if this is like a bug out gun or something like that) i would rather have the 308 since the 06 isnt military any more. plus these two have awesome performance from 1 feet to plenty far enough away.

Call me stupid but I first have to know what EOTW is?

ccoorreeyy · « **Reply #3 on:** March 05, 2007, 03:44:01 PM »

???the pole would only let me pick one ???guess one's enough for me, NOT

DalesCarpentry · « **Reply #4 on:** March 05, 2007, 03:49:14 PM »

Me to I picked the 30-06. If I could pick 2 it would be the 30-06 and the 12 guage. I think that would cover it.

henry1 · « **Reply #5 on:** March 05, 2007, 03:52:06 PM »

Same here. I dont know what EOWT or whatever those abreiviations were, are and it would only let me pick one. but if i had to choose it would be the .223 with open sights and the 30/06.

I would not really need a gun then HUH?

MSP Ret · « **Reply #8 on:** March 05, 2007, 04:22:27 PM »

I also was only allowed to choose one, but my 2 choices are the 30-06 and the 12 gauge....<><....

ro · « **Reply #10 on:** March 05, 2007, 04:52:47 PM »

same as you guys, 30-06 and 12 ga., the two cals i shoot the most.

ken2222 · « **Reply #11 on:** March 05, 2007, 05:08:24 PM »

apparently I'm "prepared" for EOTW...and have prepacked my gun case...guess that means I have plenty of on hand ammo? Since the on hand ammo is now important...my choices become 12 ga/ .270 that would change if I have to leave home and pick-up ammo....

Sorry all,

I don't know how to set the poll to allow multiple choices. Any help Quick?

Yes EOTW is "End Of The World".

Thanks to all that responded,
RW

You can allow more votes per person, there's a drop down for that option, I edited it to allow 2 votes, so everyone that voted may be able to cast another vote for their second choice.

I went a diffrent route , 223 and 45/70 with these 2 their is nothing on north america that i could not kill and eat from rabbits to Mac Trucks .

Even here in Ohio every store that sells ammo has at least 1 box of 45/70 on the shelf and in a pinch i could shoot 5.56 ammo in the 223 .

shaner · « **Reply #16 on:** March 06, 2007, 12:07:58 AM »

i had to go 45/70 & 12 ga , cause i know iam goin to have my 45 on my side ,,,

burntmuch · « **Reply #17 on:** March 06, 2007, 12:24:47 AM »

223 &30-30 easy to get ammo for both

dw06 · « **Reply #18 on:** March 06, 2007, 12:47:24 AM »

12ga and 30-06 for me.

Brett · « **Reply #19 on:** March 06, 2007, 01:00:15 AM »

0-6 and 12ga. is a logical choice. All the power you would ever need and ammo and reloading components can be found almost anywhere.

MSP Ret · « **Reply #20 on:** March 06, 2007, 02:38:41 AM »

Thanks Quick, I edited and corrected my vote by clicking on "remove vote" and then revoteing for the 30-06 and 12 gauge. Your adjustments worked great. I can see you are not one of those old people from Florida, there were no "hanging chads" ....<><....

fortress49 · « **Reply #21 on:** March 06, 2007, 02:56:19 AM »

I chose the 12 ga and .308. It was a "toss up " between .308 and .30-06. But, there would be more .308 available if an EOTW scenario actually occured.

An additional or more common acronym is TEOTWAWKI which stands for "The End Of The World As We Know It". Here is a link for a definition: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TEOTWAWKI

This is a term used by many survivalists and preparedness people who plan for an upcoming collapse of "The World As We Know It". In the event of a social upheaval, a nuclear war, a pandemic, or any other occurance, society may collapse as we know it. Supply lines for food and energy could be fataly damaged and destroyed. In case this happens, many people stock pile food, weapons, ammo, and many supplies that will allow them to survive this upcoming event. Most of the people involved in this are not militaristic or militia groups but rather people who forsee that there may be the possibility of a societal collapse and they prepare accordingly. However, some of the groups do fall into the militia groups.

IMHO, re-suppy rules in a SHTF senario. So, I choose .223 and 12 ga.

.223/5.56 has been issue military/police for over 40 years = best chance for re-supply. Ditto for 12ga - most effecive/popular shotgun gauge ever.

PartsMan · « **Reply #23 on:** March 07, 2007, 03:32:39 AM »

223 and 20guage
If I am hunting for food I'm not shooting at elk.
Probably birds and rabbit type game.
I guess I see the end of the world as not having freezers.

Any idea of how the votes are tallying up? All I get is a screen to remove my vote with no indication of the current totals....<><....

quickdtoo · « **Reply #25 on:** March 07, 2007, 06:06:10 AM »

Looks ok to me, hit refresh and see if it shows the tally.

223 12 (11.5%)
243 5 (4.8%)
270 2 (1.9%)
30-30 3 (2.9%)
308 12 (11.5%)
30-06 19 (18.3%)
45-70 16 (15.4%)
20 ga (fixed mod choke) 4 (3.8%)
12 ga (fixed mod choke) 31 (29.8%)

MSP Ret · « **Reply #26 on:** March 07, 2007, 06:23:01 AM »

Thanks for the results so far Quick, still nothing here even after hitting refresh. It most likely has something to do with the settings of this new OS I just had installed in my computer. There are a couple of other small glitches that still have to be ironed out with it. I had to disable the personal firewall to be able to post on GB's. The guy that installed it set it up to be very secure, to secure I am afraid....<><....

Remove you vote and vote again, there has to be a cookie set to make that happen, I think. $:-\$
