Homestead Weapons? 

I keep a Mosin Nagant and a Taurus 357 magnum at my cabin in Alaska; I'm on a budget and they're serving me well for all my needs.

I agree that the 12 gauge may the most versatile firearm. There are so many variations of ammo from slugs to bird shot. It is the Jack of all trades gun and will put food on the table as well as keep the wolf from the door.

I was convinced by my grandpa to carry a matching set for my rifle handgun set around the ranch. I’ve got a .357 marlin lever action carbine with a ruger .357 revolver. My other is a Rossi rio 44 mag with a ruger super red hawk in 44 mag.

I have my dads early 1940s 30 WCF Winchester 94. First time i ever fired it I got a small buck at about 150 yards. Great little rifle. I would add a bolt gun in heavier caliber. I use a Ruger American in 308. Awesome gun for the money and very accurate. Taken alot of deer with it. My most used deer rifle is a piston AR in 223 though. I drop anything under 300 and have dropped everything with one round. I have my own range so i train alot. Understand your chosen platforms limits as well as your own and you can make almost anything work for you.

Well, Sir. I Rather Have Bows And Arrows, Crossbows And Pullets, And Crossbow Pistols And Bolts For Hunting And Fishing. Plus, Hunting Knives And Fishing Knives. And, I Will Camping Knives And Hiking Knives.

I commend you on your choice of firearms. My choices are slightly different as far as brands and calibers. I also must commend you on the condition of your older guns. It's not often you see 40 yr. old firearms that clean.

3030 with grizzly bear just empty all 7 rounds on it

That 1100 is absolutely gorgeous

Excellent video and information. In my humble opinion, if someone can only afford one firearm… It should most definitely be a 12 gauge shotgun. You can hunt everything from squirrel to grizzly bears. I would also say that a pistol is extremely important in the present times. Things are getting worse by the day. It’s crucial to have a firearm that you can conceal on your body , and take everywhere to protect yourself and others, who God gave you to protect…. So someone with a 12 gauge and a handgun can basically handle any situation. It would be better to have other long guns, but some people have smaller budgets to work with. On another note, I love hunting everything to put food on the table. I’m a squirrel hunting fanatic. In my experience a .22 magnum is overkill on squirrel… unless you only take headshots. Thanks for the work/ time you put in to make this video. God bless y’all.

good choice of guns

I like your take on homestead firearms. I grew up in TX an OK. You checked all the boxes. Keep em comin'.

Great list of firearms. I don't disagree with any of your suggestions.

Awesome selection of firearms‼️🎯💯👌👍👍👍👍

Great video! Love the long guns. That shotgun and 30/30 is nice!!!

Great video!

Good choices in my mind. So many options but these are solid.

You've got an excellent collection of all the guns necessary for a homestead. I like guns too, and in 40 years, my collection has grown to 150 guns, when I really just needed the 8 you've got!

That’s a solid list.

Good choices ,all of them.

I like all your guns you showed in the video I really like the Remington 1100 I got one to I inherited from my dad after he passed it a 20 gauge and has a rifled slug barrel on it. It's my go to deer gun here in ohio and it's been used to take a lot of deer over the years
