I already own a 12 gauge and a .22 which covers most of my practical uses... What are some rifles/handguns I should look into? Typical uses- target shooting, hunting, and defense. Fun to shoot.

.45 ACP carry handgun, .308 or 30-.06 rifle for large game. .556 AR-15 before the confiscation or an AK-7.62X39 again, before the confiscation.

870 pump shotgun in 12 or 20 gauge would be on my list. Mod 700 in 30-06 also. Ruger 10-22. 1911 pistol in .45 cal, and I guess a black rifle in .223.

A .45 auto is good defense against a man but if you do business in bear or hog country, then a big bore six gun might be the next most practical gun. Of course my beloved hand cannons would do just fine in the off chance a gun fight erupted but they aren't overly concealable

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

.223 AR, .22 LR pistol/rifle, 9mm pistol, 308 rifle it’s more about available then not finding ammo for a fancy club.
