Ruger M77 MK II all weather 30-06 hands down, with a Bushnell Elite 4200 2.5-10x40 scope with flip open scope caps.

Ok, is this a dessert island were trapped on here? If it is, I will take any old gun so long as the swimsuit model stranded there with mewill wear coconut lingerie. EJ

For up to a month or two, give me a Marlin 30/30 and couple boxes of ammo. For more extended periods I'd want a 22LR, and a brick of shells.

RE: If you only had one gun, what would it be??

First choice would be one of the Savage O/U, in .22 LR and either .410 or 20 bore. Second choice would be my Ruger single action in .32 H&R. I could eat well with either.
Don't discount the .22 for fishing OR killing (not hunting) deer. Have a friend who used to fish his catfish pond with a S&W K-22. He'd toss out a handful of feed, and shoot them in the head, then scoop 'em up with a dip net. Mrs. Charley's grandfather killed a couple of boxcar loads of whitetails during his life with a single shot Mossberg .22.
