If not an AR, I would say a Mossberg 590. Very hard to beat the versatility of a reliable pump gun, the only drawbacks I can think of opposed to an AR is capacity, speed, range and they are a lil cumbersome to shoot and reload if you don't practice regularly and alot. A skilled shotgunner against an unskilled opponent with an AR15 is at a considerable disadvantage imo but that's only one unlikely defensive aspect of the "one do all rifle" theme. For everything else I think they'd be a great choice for a 1 gun to rul them all scenario

Oh that is so funny, I just got done fine tuning my M44 with light and heavy loads for duty as a trunk gun. I started a post about it, and two other bolt guns also in the "trunk gun" category, but the post was deleted, due to it's proximity to forbidden subjects. I approve your message. It is one of my favorite Ugly Sticks. And indeed, it will do just about anything. I could be happy, with the M44 being my "one gun".

Yes. But when has that ever stopped us before?
If I had to pick one rifle to do it all hunting, all the defenses, etc. I would pick an AR-10 build in 308 and throw a suppressor on it. Balance out ammo capacity and range without restrictions.

Marlin 39A 22 LR. It's the gun I'd shoot the most if I had one. Though I have a Winchester 92 I'm quite fond of, I do most of my hunting with a handgun. I'd rather have a big bore handgun and a 22 rifle, than the other way around I think.

Just by the concussion.
My pick for just one rifle would be my Russian SKS.

I have already done this years ago. If I could have only one rifle it would be my lever action Marlin 30-30. As long as I have my reloading kit I can make it do almost all I want a rifle for. I can load round balls for small game or use the 32 caliber pistol bullets I cast as small game loads and of course full power loads good enough for Moose hunting as long as I watch the range. I have a thousand pieces of brass and a 170gr bullet mold plus over a thousand jacketed bullets on hand. Its the most versatile rifle
own. If I could add a shotgun to the mix I would have all I really need.

Absolutely!

What a great looking gun. I have never owned or shot an M-N. Too bad they are crazy expensive now and the ammo is hard to come by. And does the muzzle flash scorch the bowling balls at the same time?

Life is far too short to have only one rifle. But I guess my 30-06 would probably get the job. I'd rather have a 22, some kind of 6mm, and a 30 caliber. That's about all a guy really needs; thank God "need" has nothing to do with this hobby!
