I guess I have two. A Marlin 882 (.22 mag) with a 3x9 Leopold on it that I took off a deer rifle. It stays in the rack on the buggy when I ride around the lease. Great for random plinkin' or for when I see a critter that needs shooting. The other is a Ruger GP-100 I keep loaded with a combination of shotshells and .357 roundsLast edited by jerp; 06-26-2018, 02:42 PM.

There have been some good guns mentioned. Some that I've carried myself and shot gobs of critters with. But I'll tell y'all what I'm a big Ruger 10/22 fan. As far as reliability goes they're hard to beat. There ain't no telling how many thousands of rounds I've put through one. Probably shot more stuff with that gun than just about any of the others I've had. Back when my buddy got one I bet we both went through at least one box of 550 rounds each every week during the Spring and several more throughout the Summer. He had a prairie dog town that surrounded his house and we'd spend all day out there every day when we weren't in school. We shot prairie dogs until the world looked flat. Along with any other varmint that got too close.
We didn't have those fancy 25 round magazines that are available now but we both had them because our thumbs got sore from loading the 10 rounders constantly. We just had those cheapies that would go haywire eventually. I had one clear Butler Creek 25 round magazine that always did good. I threw several more down out in that dog town that jammed up on me.
