[QUOTE="Head Mule, post: 4215330, member: 55267"] I'm gonna catch some ribbing for this, since everyone is focusing on "big"(er) BUT, personally for absolute all around, I'm going with either 22lr, or 22mag. Cheap, light, easy to train someone, very easy to "hush" , no felt recoil (again for new shooter), and can provide food, protection (on a limited basis) and far easier to replace ammo and carry large amounts of ammo if needed. All that being said, my next choice would likely be a 30/30. Reasons for both these are fairly similar actually, and personally, I prefer timber to open plains when possible. This is a topic I have actually spent hours considering and tbh, I have come up with no wrong answers (as long as practicality stays in focus). I tend to look as simple as possible for all aspects and types of possibilities. And even to go a step farther, a 20ga pump would probably bee even better.. more versatile yet... shot, slugs, or buck shot. OK, fellas, book is finished. Lol [/QUOTE]
