This is my first post here on THR, just looking for some advise and feedback. A while back i had to drastically reduce my collection due to some financial bumps in the road. I'm receiving some inheritance money soon and I'm thinking of putting about $1,500-2,000 to getting my collection going again.
Right now all i have are two 12ga; my Mossberg 550 mariner for home defense, and my grandfather's old Remington wingmaster 870 (30" barrel w/full choke) for hunting. Home defense, hunting and emergency survival readiness are the primary functions of the weapons I'm looking to get.
To round off the collection with about $1,500-2,000, I'm currently thinking about picking up the Marlin Papoose (backpacking, wilderness survival, emergency kit), a WASR-10 (deer and defense), and a Taurus PT-1911AR (wilderness side arm/defense). I've owned both a wasr and a PT-1911 and loved them, and had a marlin 60 that was a piece of junk. What do y'all think? I'm looking for thoughts, recommendations, things to consider. What do y'all have to say?
EDIT: THIS IS NOT A SHTF POST. Though its fun to think about, I'm looking for a well rounded collection so i have the right tools for various wilderness outings, hunting and self defense.
BY "SURVIVAL WEAPONS" I MEAN:
a) whoops, got lost in the wilderness, I sure am glad i have this .22 so I can eat some squirrel and this .45 in case i run into a cougar.
b) here I am at my shack in the woods, I sure am glad i can hunt various things in the area with this well rounded collection that will also keep me safe in any BGs come round.
