There are a few guns that every gun owner should have. They are:
- Remington 870 12ga
- Smith & Wesson Revolver (you pick the model)
- 1911
- Either a Remington 700 or Savage 11 center-fire rifle
- Ruger 10/22 rifle
These are classics. They are all reliable and have been around since Sequoias were seedlings. Thus, I vote for the 10/22. AR prices have come down considerably this year, but everyone needs a 10/22.
