One rifle only.

[DustyGmt]

It would be an AR in .223/5.56. The flat top allows for a wide range of sighting/optics for different tasks, can be used to hunt medium game, small game, varmints and self defense. It's not great at everything but it will do most things really well and a couple things pretty mediocre-ly.

An AR10 would be a step up in terms of handling medium to large game but I'd still prefer a .223/556

Mini 30

^^^ think that’s the one rifle for hunting medium game thread.

I’m pretty sure every time I post in a thread like this I select a different rifle. Could be I haven’t found the “one” perfect do it all rifle…yet!

This time I will pick my Ruger SFAR .308 Winchester.

I can't argue with that.

 

[Ugly Sauce]

Why the Rose of Alabama, of course. .62" caliber. Not good for self defense you say??? It will stop a grizzly bear, I think that's pretty good. And, it has never, ever failed to fire.

In New Zealand what is a "full-bore" rifle?

Maybe I missed the definition. You probably mean that all Centerfire (semi-autos) are prohibited ?

Or are quite a number of --former--semi-autos (Centerfire) modified to operate (legally) as a single-shot, as in the UK with their "bolt-action" Mini -14s etc?

 

[PapaG]

Only one! You are either unamerican or nuts! My 1953 Model 70 30-06.
Or my Contender carbine with 22, 233, and 3030 barrels. Or

 

[chicharrones]

If you could only have one rifle what would you have? For me it would be my Swiss arms SHR 970 in 308, here in NZ no semiautomatic fullbore rifles!

Only one! You are either unamerican . . .

Now there’s the twist where I could play this game.

If I lived in New Zealand and could only have one rifle? Makes me wonder what rifle restrictions there are in NZ?

I think they have 3rd or 4th guns per in the world,

Even if you look on Google, there seems to be no available list of the gun types which supposedly are banned.

New Zealand bans military style semi-automatics and assault rifles

Military style semi-automatics and assault rifles will be banned in New Zealand under stronger new gun laws announced today, Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says.

www.beehive.govt.nz

The very dramatic changes apparently were a result of about 50 people being killed during a single rampage in a mosque in 2019.

Unrelated (?) sidenote: Most people here realize that Canada 'supposedly' banned almost every type of semi-auto, Centerfire rifle.
But....two Canucks told me that the Canadian govt is not only "visciously incompetent" regarding the ability to know who owns what, but also that the RCMP ("Mounted" Police) have barely tried to enforce the supposed new "laws".
One hindrance is the lack of nearly enough RCMP officers to do the "knock on door" visit, and the RCMP reportedly has lost interest because they anticipate serious physical danger if they Do enforce it.

There seems to be some sort of stalemate, and if you have access to very rural land in Canada, you will probably be too far from other people (or concealed in trees etc) for them to know which type of gun you are shooting.

Of what I currently have I think it would be m1a

 

[45/30-06OKIE]

I guess my 16in rifle gas system 5.56 AR that's a custom general purpose build. Has an A2 stock, LaRue MBTS2 trigger, decent parts. Aero Precision BCG, lower upper and handguard. The barrel is a KAK Industry 16in 5.56 rifle gas 1-7 twist barrel. Very light gun and I have a Leupold RDS on it. Sounds great suppressed.

This. Inaction from law enforcement is sometimes perceived as 2A support or sympathy and support of the gun owning public, but it's this. On topic:

 

[AK Hunter]

Before the ammo prices went through the roof I would have said one of my AKs or ARs. But now I would probably choose a shotgun because I can buy different shells for many different kinds of hunting or personal defence.

Often such laws are for "selective" prosecution, rather than any intent to knock on doors, and/or enforce them overall. A tool to go after political enemies, "enemies of the state", or people you just plain don't "like" or are not on your side. Social media now being a great way to find people you don't like. Why bother knocking on doors??
