Okay, here is a new one, not necessarily about revolvers.

In this scenario, you are limited to ownership of six firearms, maximum, for the rest of your life, selected from production weapons available today. No Class Three, for purposes of this discussion.

Let's not get bogged down into the discussion of how we got to that point, or how to cheat and have access to more.

List the six firearms you would choose if you knew they were the only six you were ever going to own for defense, hunting, target shooting, etc. They can be weapons you presently own, or would like to own.

I'll go first.

1. Carbine: Bravo Company lightweight 16" M4, flattop, 5.56, TA31 RCO or 1.5-5x Leupold. Spare uppers in multiple calibers and barrel configurations, if possible, along with a .22LR conversion unit.

2. Battle Rifle: M1A in an E2 stock, alternate FN-FAL or SR-25, TA11 or 1.5-5x scope, 7.62x51 NATO.

3. LR/Hunting Rifle: Remington 700 PSS, Nightforce 5-22x scope. Alternate, custom build on a pre-64 Winchester M70, .300 Win Mag.

4. Pistol: HK P2000, .40 S&W. Alternate, ParaOrdnance P14 Limted, .45 ACP.

5. Rimfire pistol: S&W 41 or Ruger Mark I or II, .22LR.

6. Shotgun: Remington 870 shotgun, extended mag 20" barrel, RemChokes, 12 gauge. Spare barrels in multiple lengths, if possible. Alternate, Benelli M1 Super 90, 12 gauge.

Anyone else who has a half dozen they could live with/not live without?
