I agree with the simplicity angle. I own three guns, a 12 gauge pump shotgun, a 357 magnum revolver, and an AR-15. The only reason I went with an AR is because of my Army experience, it's the rifle I'm most familiar with as far as maintenance and servicing.

I grew up on a farm, and my dad had 3 guns, a winchester single shot 12 gauge similar to yours, a Revelation .22 bolt action rifle that held about 15 rounds in a tubular magazine under the barrel, and an HG 9 shot .22 revolver. These served all of our firearms needs, from hunting to pest control to slaughtering livestock. They would have served us well in self defense as well, if we had ever needed that.

Think I'd go with a Ruger 10-22 or a pump-action 12g. But I agree with your thinking.
-
My first gun was a Savage 24 20g/22lr. I got it for my 11th birthday. A great gun
-
As a kid on the farm,it was an H&R sportsman 9 shot 22 revolver and a mossberg 12 gauge and I could hunt most anything..

Don't forget chamber adapters. With a good set, you can shoot the most popular calibers you can find in a survival situation.
-
The most useful gun is the one you have on you when you need it.

My go to gun is an old Savage 20 gauge with a .22 on top. You can flick a switch on the trigger to choose your barrel.

A 12ga. Shotgun with a field barrel and a slug barrel.my Remington pump action has served me well for 30 yrs
-
I completely agree 12 gauge is a great all around choice! Great video! 12 gauge also very good for home protection!!

Somebody needs to purchase the tooling and restart that company. I have a Handi Rifle in 45-70 and a "long Tom" 12 gauge just like yours there. But they made a lot of great chamberings in the rifles - you could match up with your revolver like .357 Mag and .44 Mag, etc. but many other calibers too. They really should have just upped the price a little if they needed more revenue to stay in business... I think they are sorely missed.

For Me this is as simple as it gets. 1) Ruger 10/22. Will take a Deer all the way down to a Squirrel and 2) S&W .44 mag. Nothing on the America's it won't stop From a Coastal Grizzly and a Moose , Human beings. 100 rds of Buffalo Bore rounds and you can easily carry a couple of thousand rounds of .22lr. That alone would last you a decade to supplement your fishing and trapping.

For the wilderness I’d go with 1.) Remington 870 2.) any .22 I like my marlin and ruger 3.) ar15 5.56 upper and .300 blackout upper 4.) .357, .44, or 10 mm. But the Remington 870 will do the job of all of the other 3

If I'd have to choose only one...I'd pick a 10/22......but to each his own...good video
-
My only criteria for a single shot shottie is that it has a shell ejector (not an extractor). With an ejector you save valuable time loading in a self defense situation
-
Good pick. This followed by a rimfire rifle would be pretty much all you needed for most chores. Rimfire only because the ammo is so much cheaper and quieter.

I at 12 yo dropped a bull moose at 20 feet with a 12 ga. Double brl. shotgun. My trading mentor let me use one of his. We reloaded and made lead ball ammo or slugs. The moose was actually attacking me as it burst from brush, seeing me it charged. And no it was not moose season but back then we hunted 13 months a year.😊

h&r my first 12 gauge single. when "hunting" was fun. 15 years old hunting pheasant, rabbit, squirrel, dove. thanks for the video. keep em coming. I subbed to your channel. as I continued to watch , I saw the adapters...... I have never heard such a thing. im gonna find some. thank you
-
Really good video. Well explained. I learned something in this clip.The tubes to make it a rifle/pistol round. I don`t get out enough.Thanks D.

Several companies make a .22/410 combo gun and I've always considered it the gun you could survive with, if you could only have one. Yeah, I know they're only single shots but still...
