Cool video! The guns we used most on our dairy farm was a bolt action .22, a single shot .12 gauge and a bolt action .30-06. Other favorites among farmers in our area included the .30-30 and a .22 magnum. The latter was useful for pest control and slaughtering animals. This was before ARs really became widely available.

I instantly went back to my youth as a fifteen year old kid when you started talking about buying the 870 a Kmart. I was already loading my own 20ga. shells and would load and shoot the equivalent of a case of 20 guage AA's a month, either bird hunting, or trap shooting. I worked for my dad in his pallet company, and had saved up to buy me a new 870 from the Kmart, and I remember bringing it home and just sitting there staring at it like it was a beautiful woman (it was night time, or I would have been shooting it ). I am now 67 years old, so it has been 52 years since I bought mine, and thousands of shells later, it is just as reliable as the day I bought it.

[@alistairjamesheaton9155]

How many farmers have guns on the gun rack which are older than they are because they were their fathers or grandfathers and they work. How many shotguns do you see which are upwards of 50 years old because they work in the far more versatile than a rifle or even a pistol in terms of what you can kill them. But also in terms of home defence they are better weapon than an a15 in a tight spot under stress. You could easily do a fire gun video but the reality is how many people that she only got one or maybe two guns and one of them is a shotgun because that that versatile.

4th generation rancher here. We're 6 generations if you count my grandkids. I'm young enough to appreciate and enjoy the modern AR platform. I even got my dad interested enough to buy a couple but we still have a place for the more traditional options. Currently, the best defensive rifle for rural America is probably an AR type. That title used to belong to the lever action repeaters though.

[@kentuckyjustice1408]

Great choices, especially the honorable mention. With all of the AR platform options, people have forgotten about the M-1 carbine. They used to be fairly cheap to buy. In the early to mid 80's, I used an M-1 carbine as a "ranch rifle" before I bought my first AR-15. They definitely do the trick. Unfortunately, ammo has rocketed in price, and become scarce in availability, especially now. Mine is a remanufactured carbine, so the collectible value is zero. ~AWESOME VIDEO.~

Farming sure has changed over the years. When I was growing up in deepest, darkest Appalachia (70s-early 80s), there were probably more single-shot shotguns in rear-window gun racks, leaning or laying within reach than anything else. I rarely saw handguns, but back in those days, attitudes and laws regarding handguns were much different than today. Rifles only came out if one had to reach out and lay the smackdown on a groundhog and usually they were either .22lr or .22WMR.

I created a deerskin sock for it with a drawstring to keep the dust and dirt out because it rode in my old Toyota Landcruiser for years.

Great brush, and truck guns. 4) 7mm Rem Magnum for that long range shot across the field. Flatter trajectory than a 30-06. 5) Glock 17 the one that started it all. Full size, and 17+1 of 9mm.

@@tootall5559 I have to agree with you, based on where I come from. Here even wheat farmers without any cattle are called ranchers. But usage in Georgia must differ.

[@irvin325]

I grew up in Arizona with livestock, cattle, horses, and sheep. 60 miles from the nearest store to buy ammo and not a large variety in choice. What I always saw from my family and others, growing up was; 30-30, .22LR, .22 mag, 12 gauge, and .270. Also seen a lot of SKS because they were cheap back in the day. Nowadays I have been seeing more AR type rifles. A common theme was a rifle with scope that could take out a coyote or wild dogs at a distance.

I agree. I grew up on lever action 30 30s, revolvers, and side by side shotguns. Obviously, 22's are an automatic choice for young shooters learning. Not sure where this farmer grew up.

[@dannyo6699]

I grew up on a farm/ranch operation in North Dakota. We raised Hereford/Angus crossed cattle, and had a few Simmental thrown in for good measure too. We had around 100 head at our peak. We mainly raised our own feed for our cattle. We had corn for silage, prairie hay and alfalfa along with oats, (some of which was used for oats hay, and the rest was grain oats for feeding calves), and spent the long cold winters feeding them. We also raised Hard Red Spring Wheat as our cash crop. We had a few .22 pump rifles, which were kept loaded with bird shot for pest control, but we also had a 7mm mag my grandpa had for deer hunting. Dad got a 30/30 Winchester from a friend years ago, and I had a Marlin 60 .22, a Dan Wesson .357 stainless 4 inch and a Ruger 95 9mm. Those were my farmer guns.

[@tysonsmith6443]

Can’t believe I didn’t see a .22 on the table, grew up on a ranch and shot more critters with my 10/22 than anything else. Bolt gun in the hands of a farmer on his land is probably more devastating than any marine with a Scar heavy!

[@blackmesaoutdoors4863]

My thoughts exactly! A Ruger 10/22 is a classic and good beginner for kids. Its cheap to shoot and easy for kids to learn on. Its great for small game in the garden or out in the field.

I'm no Farmer, also an american but i love my Romanian RH-10. AKs are multipurpose.

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

@@daskook2656 I used to be a big AK guy, but these days I think the AK has become outdated. ARs are cheaper, last longer, and easier to assemble. I used to have over 20 AK (I built a lot when parts kits were dirt cheap because no one knew how to rebuild them), I sold them all to buy ARs and Glocks. I even have an AR with an 80% lower that accepts all my old AK mags so I didn't have to buy a ton of new mags. AK are still fun for the novelty and they will work if that is what you already have, but for people who have the ability to choose a rifle, I don't think there is any practical reason to not choose an AR as a rifle. Some AR builds under the sales during Trump were even cheaper than buying a bolt action. I got an LR308 for $400! Cannot beat that.

[@DaveSmith-cp5kj]

@crazy silly The AR is better and cheaper. Even Russian SOF have moved towards the AR platform (although not exclusively). I can carry a 40 round magazine in a smaller package than any x39 cartridge 30 round magazine. I bought tons of AR during Trump's presidency, I averaged at about $350 per complete rifle (irons included, but nothing else). Absolute steals. For fun guns I have gas blowback airsoft guns of all kinds of firearms so I still get the fun. I enjoy the AK platform for that, but I prefer an AR for firearms.

[@richardpalmer6196]

All good logical choices . When I had my farm in Virginia I kept three guns handy . First the AR platform 50 years ago was not available to the public . My choices at the time were a 1911 ( 2 tours in Vietnam, had me very comfortable with the .45 ) a .30-06 , 1917 Eddystone Enfield , knock down and keep down anything in the U.S. , and a Stevens 570 12 gauge. All three guns were heavy enough and sturdy enough to be used as a club if needed , then go back to being firearm again . As a small arms repairman , l rebuilt too many M-16' s to even want one . The now commercial AR platform is far superior to the 16's of that era . My armament has increased considerably in the last 50 years but l still use a 1911 , and still love my 1917 Enfield. I can now choose any thing from .17 caliber to .50 cal muzzle loader . I'm just not masochistic enough for a .50 BMG .

Having grown up on farms, I feel that your list only needs one semi auto 22. I can see the 22 pistol, but you only need one 22. The same thing goes for pump shotguns. Every farm faces different challenges. A 22 would be garbage against wild pigs.

[@Baurakale777]

@lioness of lechistan 2 semiautomatic 22s and 2 12 gauge shotguns. I can't see a good argument for having 2 shotguns, as long as the chokes are interchangeable. I can't see a good argument for having 2 22 rifles.

[@Baurakale777]

@lioness of lechistan 2 of the items listed were pump action 12 gauges and the other 2 were semiautomatic 22s. That person really only wants 2 guns. The model 60 uses a tube magazine, which is really annoying.

[@Baurakale777]

@lioness of lechistan I have owned only a tube magazine 22. Grandpa bought it in 1964. It's an excellent gun, and I can't think of a reason to have another 22 rifle. If there was a reason that I needed to switch to using a detachable magazine fed 22, I would keep the heirloom 22, as a safe queen. If you are talking about shotguns, grandpa's 1897 Winchester didn't have a way to change the choke. I could see having one with a full choke and one with cylinder bore. I can see having a 12 gauge and a 410. I can't see having a semiautomatic 22 with a tube and another with a detachable.

[@Baurakale777]

@lioness of lechistan if I could only have 5 guns, there wouldn't be redundancy. I can see owning multiple 22s, if you are not limited, but I don't think redundancy is important.

I am old and raised in the Midwest both sides of my family are from farming stock. This is what both sides of the family kept 'behind the door' . One bolt action single shot .22lr(the kind you had to manually cock after loading a round You know the once knurled knob at the back of the bolt). Two a break open 12 or 16 gauge shotgun. Occasionally you would find a side by side. As an aside my Dad bought a used Remington model 11 in 1935? It's still in the family and still shoots has a heck of a tight choke though. It's illegal most places now but a .22lr will bring down a whitetail easy if you are a Good Hunter. My Dad hunted for meat for the family dinner if he missed no meat. I miss those days.

[@bobsradio6025]

When I was a kid in the 1950's I remember seeing advertisements for a Stevens bolt action single shot .22 that had to be hand cocked. The MSRP was $14.50. I saw a used one in a store about 15 years ago. It cost me over $90 to bring it home.
