The best all around three gun battery

[flan7211]

Idmaster I'm agreeing with a lot of what your saying.

I have two main plans, my survival co-op has stay put plans, but honestly I know of three areas in the hills of south dakota or wyoming I'd rather be. With structures, good access to water, and far from civilization. I'll tell you what staying in a populated area would be a near death sentence for most people. The raiding would be intense, if government couldn't keep order than most folks would do what had to be done for their family.

My guns-

1.M1a Socom 16, always has treated me right. With iron sights i can hit my targets 400m or more if need be. I'll throw an eotech on there if in a cqc scenario. With steel core ammo you can punch through most body armor. The other factor, with proper placement shoots there is nothing you can't take down in North America. Though you shouldn't have to hunt, if you did you could get the job done.

2. PPS-43
Honestly my Remington 700 VTR .308 is a beast and with a scope I can knock down some asshole pretty far away, it is too damn heavy to be carrying. My group of guys has two ex-snipers who are a lot better than me. Therefore the gun I want is a PPS-43, 7.62 Tokarev is an amazing little round. No thanks on a .22, first rimfires are not as reliable as a good centerfire. Tok, is cheap, and you can easily stock pile it. The PPS is very reliable, fires from an open bolt, and has a floating firing pin. When I'm not poor and out of work I'm getting one.

3.Third is my early 80's Sig 229, I have both the .357 SIG and the .40 Barrel, two great rounds. But honestly by the time you have to use a pistol your screwed. My M1a is also going to be tied to my left testicle.

I pop in here every so often and just hit the "New posts" link.

I didn't initially notice this was in the Survival / Preparedness forum. I assumed it was about the game of 3-Gun / multigun.

Actually though, there may be some cross-over. For the game, I would say:

STI Tactical
Benelli M2 Field
JP AR

I always thought something like a Baikal IZH-94 Sever 22lr/20ga. would be nice. It will keep meat on the table and leave you with two more guns to bring along.
