They'd all work, but I wouldn't use any out of that list.

In agreement, all work, but find a rifle.  A big one.  There are some who take browns with handguns, but I would go with a real, large caliber, rifle round.

The 450 Marlin or the 45-70 are the only ones on your list that I would take.  Reason they are the only ones that I feel is adiquate that has readily availiable ammo, if your gun arrives and tha ammo doesnot.

A 'Veteran' -- whether active duty, discharged, retired, or reserve -- is someone who, at one point in his life, wrote a blank check made payable to 'The United States of America,' for an amount of 'up to, and including his life.' That is honor, and there are way too many people in this country today who no longer understand that fact.
