Can't take all the guns.
Taking my nephew for a long weekend in the desert, and packing a couple of .22's (a marlin 22 magnum and a 995 in 22lr) and steel targets.
But I have room for another rifle. He's had some time on 22's and the 22WMR and run a few rounds on an AR before.
We aren't hunting or prepping for a zombie apocalypse and I have a pistol for defensive use or wild animals (it's mountain lion country). So this is just bringing a rifle for fun.
My choices are based on what I have, not on what I want.
A. Bring an AR, always an AR! He's shot one before, you said so! Plus there are aliens/wendigos/mutants in the desert. You can't be too careful
B. AK all the way. Throw some dirt on it. You don't need optics! Real mutants don't respect the AR. (Mine is a 5.56 Mak-90 so it's not really a caliber war.)
C. Cowboy up! Marlin 1894 in 44 magnum. Short range lightweight big boom. Forget about the recoil, it makes you grin when you shoot it! Big foots and meth heads will cower in fear of the size of that muzzle alone!
D. Good enough for the Afrika Korp! Take the Brno 98k and a ammo can full of Yugo surplus ball. Zap some stuff long range with irons and wash it out with windex. Can penetrate the skin of a UFO!
E. Go and buy something else! (For you who must insist on your own version of fun.)
