The gun battery
Enjoyed the article. The importance of user preference and environment are crucial where I live.
Part of my gun battery includes a ruger 10/22. My problem exist when the outdoor temperature reaches -20 F or colder i.e. weapon jams. Here in the Alaskan interior -20 F or colder is a very common winter temperture range.
Another situation is user preferance. Due to my work, I am gone from home several days at a time. My wife dosen’t like pump shotguns, but due to our remote location, she has encountered a varity of situations where a single shot shotgun is inadaquate. She currently uses a Stoeger 12 gauge over and under.
I don’t have much use for a handgun, although I do own a few. For defense I use a Remington 870 defence version. By alternating slug rounds with double ought buck shot I feel very safe during bear encounters.
For hunting, I use a Remington model 700 chambered in 30 06. It’s the old reliable.
Well, this is just one family’s battery.
Stay warm, Gar
