So here is an interesting question. My wife's Aunt & Uncle called me and asked what 5 guns they should by, if they will only have 5. They are both in there 50s and familiar with firearms. I thought this would be and interesting question for the group. Nothing fancy or special - just 5 guns & no budget breakers.
I was thinking something along these lines.
1. Pump 12 Gauge shotgun. Either Rem 870 or similar
2. Ruger 10/22
3. Bolt Action Rifle in 308 or 30-06
or lever action 30-30
4. Revolver - 357 or Taurus Judge (Aunt & Uncle don't strike me as SA pistol types)
5. Maybe a Ranch Rifle in 223. Ruger Mini 14 or similar.
I'm also trying to stick with guns that will not be very difficult to find right now.
Please share your suggestions with utility, ammo availability, price in mind and brand name & model.
Thanks for suggestions.
