Ep. 359 | What are Your 5 Non-SHTF Guns?

[@JimYeats]

I have to agree with Ryans take on this question. Everyone else's gun choices are - basically - just a "Top five gun generic guns everyone should own". An AR, 9mm pistol, Bolt gun, 10-22, shotgun. Which in turn is basically also everyone's SHTF list too.

[@portersorensen8814]

Definitely agree

[@dpwhitaker7088]

@@portersorensen8814 I agree too! Ryan's list was more on topic.

[@tatsuhirosatou5513]

I'd almost drop either the 10/22 or bolt gun for a good high energy pcp air rifle

[@Stakkatoking]

Without Ryan one could believe that all Americans see guns as nothing but replaceable tools. Guns are tools, of course. But among other things they can be pieces of art, historic treasures, objects of personal value / heirloom etc. So thank you, Ryan, for having the soul to recognize that. I just fulfilled one of my personal gun-related dreams by acquiring a pristine Heym-built Ruger No 1 in 6,5x57, and taking my first roe deer with it last weekend. Greetings from the Old World.

[@jasonf5466]

Local Spring Green WI resident here! I would love to see a podcast or podcast series on all things "hunting with kids". I have a 6, 4, and 1 year old so this weighs heavily on my mind. This topic has a ton of varying opinions, and it would be great to hear all of your perspectives as well. Keep up the great work!!

[@stephensmith6599]

Wonderful part of the Country.

[@kbowen2251]

i gotta say that i think Ryan understood this prompt the best... Everyone else kept wanting to provide for it so ended up with a similar list. I guess they should have called it a top five fun list?

[@GrizzlyBæron]

Following Ryan's rules (I keep everything I already have) I would probably go with 1: VSS Vintorez 2: ppsh 41 3: Sig SG 751 4: FN Five seveN 5: M30 Luftwaffe Drilling

[@mattwatson6359]

You guys have inspired me! At my personal range we have 12 by 6 inch targets for guys to verify deer rifles on so they can see their effective range , I will now be fabbing a chicken Target painted with the vortex emblem to place at 500 m! This will be the new Benchmark stamp of approval, thanks for all the great podcasts some of the greatest stuff I listen to through the week

[@jjgriffin3275]

1 - Lever gun, gun and caliber of choice, 45-70 is always awesome 2 - range toy handgun, stupid nice 2011 maybe 3 - large caliber rifle, maybe dangerous game style, 416 rigby comes to mind 4 - premium long range rifle 5 - 22lr handgun, top tier fun toy

[@stayvigilant007]

Freaking love Ryan…salt of the earth.

[@sks-ti4zm]

for the .22, I would 100% go CZ 457. simple caliber changes and great accuracy.

[@peterconnan5631]

That was a fun episode, thanks gentlemen! I think I will have to operate in Ryan's universe (IE add rather than replace). And one of the additions would also be a Casul, in .45 Colt. Two others would be single-shot falling blocks, one in 6mm Musgrave and one in .450-400 (I have an obsession with falling blocks). Then a historical straight-pull bolt action of some kind. Perhaps a 6mm Lee Navy. Last is a silenced 9mm sub-gun of some kind. It would have to be delayed-blowback and fire from a closed bolt but I don't particularly want an H&K. Call me weird, I know.

[@daltonszwalker6026]

I watch the podcast regularly and got the chance to meet Reuben and Nick at a vendors day down here in Houston. Both of them are very knowledgeable on vortex products and optics in general. I learned a lot from them, had some great conversation with both of them and they both had great things to say about Mark!

[@peterweikel7123]

Awsome video. It is amazing how like-minded y'all are. I come from a different school, for sure. Mine are easy for me to select and require little consideration. Hunting, I want a Blaser K95 in 7mm remington (yes, my preferred hunting rifles are all single shots). It gives me the range and horsepower I need for all of my time in the woods. I would keep a Marlin 1895 in 45-70 in the gun rack of the 4 wheeler. A quality customized 10-22 with dependable minute of squirrel accuracy is a must. Then I want a Browning BPS 12g. It's a great hunting gun and is good enough for defense around the homestead (there are not many people around me and they would need to travel a long way to try and find me)

[@Spidouz]

Now do the Top 5 rifle, but in an old caliber (over 100 years); here are mines: 1- .22LR 2- 6.5x55 Swede 3- 7.5x55 Swiss 4- 8x57 Mauser 5- 9.3x6 Mauser

[@matthewkillen9771]

Always appreciate Ryan's love of fine firearms. A podcast about Kipplauf rifles would be a fine one. Keep up the good work.

[@LeviHinds-ux8rj]

Limiting yourself to five guns is extremely difficult. It only gives you one of each category. But this is definitely a list of must haves to be evenly weighted across most shooting realms. If someone wants to get farther into a specific hunting or shooting sport more guns might be necessary to be most likely to succeed. But this gives everyone a great starting point to experience almost any category of shooting sports that they wish and to have a great start at it. Love listening to the pod and I’m starting to get the deer fever with cold weather starting to blow in!

[@hamhocks]

1. Ruger 10/22 2. Bolt action in 308/6.5 creedmoor (22 inch barrel) 3. AR-15 in 5.56 (16-18 inch barrel) 4. Glock 17 in 9mm 5. Pump action 12 gauge (28 inch barrel)

[@Spidouz]

I have pretty much the same list, except instead of a Glock 17, I would have the CZ P01 (but I like the Glock 17, or even Sig P320 too). If I would pick a Glock, I’d go for the Glock 21, it would work great if I could have a 6th gun (Suppressed Kriss Vector in .45ACP to share mags). But overall, I still like 9mm the best for handgun, very basic/common in SHTF situation…

[@hamhocks]

@@Spidouz nice! Yeah I think 9mm is the way to go. Really, any common-use cartridge is the way to go. You know there is always going to be some combination of 22lr, 5.56, 308, 9mm, and 12 gauge in almost every home in America.

Ryan, wow dude, you are friggin' awesome though! Great video guys, and great choices all. Mark, thank you for the updates! You're pretty awesome too. I loved the AR-15 6mm ARC choices. These days with all our available choices of firearms, it would be pretty damn hard for myself to only choose 5 guns. More reasonable, I believe, 10 guns would be twice as nice. Pre 1980s is a bit more of a simpler time and my 5 would be: #1- an M14/M1, 7.62×51 (308 Win), #2- a Dakota Arms, 300 Win. mag for BIG GAME, #3- a simple Ruger 10/22, #4- a Mossberg 500 12 gauge combo, rifled long barrel & short barrel smooth bore, and #5- a S&W 686, 357 mag 3" barrel. These days (currently) my 10 choices (still difficult) are: #1- a Sig Spear, 277 Fury (6.8×51), #2- a Browning X-Bolt 2 Speed, 300 PRC, #3- a simple Ruger 10/22 carbine, #4- a Benelli SuperNova, 12 gauge (combo short & long barrels), #5- a NAA 22MC-R (top break open 22 mag & 22 LR) w/a pocket slip and an ankle holster, #6- a Ruger PC 10mm, #7- a Glock 20 (10mm), #8- a Winchester 1886, 50-110 w/a 24" barrel & full length tube magazine, #9- a Horizon Firearms 22 Creedmoor, and #10- a CZ 550, 6.5×55 Swede, full length stock. It's been a lot of fun, fellas, thank you.

The obvious answer here is 5 M1 Garands. Murica.

[@chipsterb4946]

I was amazed no handgun on Mark’s list and no fine revolver on any of them. I guess that I am more of a collector than a shooter, so my list would include one of the following 3) first year Smith & Wesson Registered Magnum -or- Colt Shooting Master 357 -or- 19th Century Colt 1873 Peacemaker (a.k.a. Single Action Army). Similarly a lever action rifle: 19th Century Winchester Model 1873 in .44-40 -or- Winchester 1895 in .30-06 -or- Winchester Model 64 Deluxe Deer Rifle. Browning BLR if you want modern and many chamberings available. Bolt action rifle in .270 Winchester: pre-64 Winchester Model 70 Supergrade -or- Sako Finnbear -or- Sporterized Mauser 98 Some synthetic stocked 12 gauge shotgun because just practical for so much. For me? A high grade over & under or classic side-by-side such as a Purdey. 1911 in .45 ACP. Are you guys American males? WWII 1911-A1

[@07thunderhawk]

Without a doubt, a revolver would be on my list. A S&W Model 17 in 22lr, Colt Python, S&W 586, S&W 442, or Colt Dianondback would all be terrific.

[@kman12868]

Top 5 would be 1. AR in 223. 2. 300 win mag (hunt any large game) 3. Browning 12 ga semi-auto. 4. 10/22. 5. Glock 22 (40 cal) and I have the wolf barrel to make it 9mm so it’s a simple swap and give you opinions of when shtf when scrounging for ammo in that event. Just like the other popular calibers.

[@SFL3G]

Great episode, my choices would be 2011 in 9mm, 10/22, mp5, Browning A5 12 g, ruger guide gun 30-06

[@ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz]

12g? Not a Sweet Sixteen? Id want a 16g if practically isnt really a factor.

[@taylorchristensen197]

Not gonna say I'm a long time listener, but I stumbled across the channel while doing research for my first hunting rifle and now I keep the playlist of podcast eps running while I swing a hammer at work all day. I'm hooked. One thought I had was to go with a scout rifle type of build for ease of carry and solid all around goodness looking around I feel like the cz 600 trail in 7.62 might be the ticket. Am I way off base in my thought process? Still not 100% sure what the meta is for hunting so I guess I don't know if there are any big things the cz is missing that a good hunting rifle should have.

[@timtruelove7214]

6mm arc has 25 round magazines in common with 6.5 grendel unless it has issues with them. Have 7 of them and right out the box all ran a full mag no miss feeds or jams

[@Spidouz]

Hard to say, most of my Top 5 are also SHTF guns… 1) 9mm Pistol 2) 5.56x45 AR-15 3) Precision Rifle (probably 6.5CM or .308W) 4) 12GA Pump Action Shotgun 5) .22LR Rifle (10/22 or else) Bonus: .45ACP Suppressed Kriss Vector for home defense

[@williamgoldston5803]

I would like to have known what the panel’s top 5 SHTF were as a process of elimination. Because I took the assignment closer to Ryan’s take. I already have SHTF, driven primarily by caliber; 1) CZ 22, 2) pump 12 gauge, 3) 9mm pistol 4) AR style 223 5) 308 win. I get to keep what I already have to include my 1903 Mannlicher- Shonauer and my 375 H&H. You had me at not worrying about ammo and I ran with no money or license restrictions. 1)M-2 belt feed perfection 2) German made double rifle 3) Italian or English custom double barrel shotgun. 4) Manurhin MR 73 5)Gunwerks Nexus in 7mm PRC to start with but you can change barrels and bolt faces.

[@tylerphelps4868]

My 5 pick: 1 would be an M92 beretta. You got capacity, reliability and just overall good feel. 2 is a 12ga Mossberg or 870. Good for upland stuff and drones which looking at current wars might not be a bad thing to have around. 3 would be an AR but with a twist. You said 5 guns, legally the lower is the gun so an AR with a 5.56 upper for EOTW, 6arc for Yotes and a 350 Bushmaster for deer (Iowa). 4 is going to be a bolt gun probably in a Bergara 6.5 creed flavor for simple performance and versatility across a wide range. Last pick, an AK because I’m a nerd that loves those things. And it would be a 5.45 because it’s superior to 5.56 and I’ll die on that hill

[@exodusz19]

1) Golden Tiger Stripe Desert Eagle in .50AE 2) Lynx .50 BMG 3) 16 inch Suppressed 6ARC AR-15 4) m1014/M4 12 gauge 5) Transferable Type-56 Norinco AKM

I have a couple dozen bing bangs, or more, but if I had to get rid of all but 5, my list would look much like the lists you guys shared: a good, versatile bolt gun (probably a 308), a good, versatile 12 gauge (probably a Benelli), certainly a .22 (probably my Marlin model 39, lever gun), an AR in 5.56 and my Glock 34.

Question for Ryan. You mentioned that the Talkettna in 375 wasn't bad for recoil for what it was. My dad always thought the 308 vs 06 both loaded close to equal the 308 kicked more sharply!!! His thought was the sharper shoulder increased the quickness of the impulse. Your thoughts shoulder angle make a difference???

[@GAlanRoss]

Very interesting listening to your choices for "5" guns. How about going to the extreme? 1 gun as many European countries mandate. In particular, would anyone choose a Drilling? And what guage & caliber? Would you use iron sights alone?, or add a quick detach optic for the rifle barrel? Just curious what your thoughts are in this situation.

Awesome topic. Watching this episode came to an idea. Since winter is approaching, and meaning cartridge talks. Is there any possibility to make an episode to compare the 6.5 cartridges? 6.5 creedmor, 6.5 ARC and 6.5 PRC. Would be interesting to hear your point of view.

Doesn't Ryan wear a cowboy outfit for the spaghetti shootouts?

Id love to hear from a processional backpacker. I think it would directly relate with the channel. So many people dont realize the importance of a good bag an packing.

[@TheKJMalice]

Considering this is a non-SHTF list, I’m gonna go on a limb saying that an AR is not qualified for the list cuz that’s a no-brainer requirement for SHTF as it is. I think my list would be 12-gauge pump (probably Mossberg 500/590) .308 bolt gun (any brand/action) 9mm polymer-striker (I’m currently partial to the G43X) Lever-action rifle (any caliber, pistol/rifle is irrelevant unless there’s a wheel gun in the same caliber) and the 10/22 is a must.

[@coreysheets7271]

At 13:40 did Mark leak a new LHT 2.5-10 or was that a mistake?

[@michaelkaylor6770]

M2-HB .50cal

[@robinsok]

I wish Ryan would have answered the actual question. 😅 I'd like to hear what he really came up with.

[@uberfalcon1965]

1. 1911 in 45 Super 2. AR15 in 450BM 3. .22lr AR upper 3. 12ga semi auto bullpup with changeable chokes 5. AR10 in .375 Raptor

[@watchhowto]

What is the electronic note device?

[@paisleyprince5280]

Anything chambered in 5.7 x 28. I want to like the round so much but can't justify using it beyond I Want To.

[@triplehelper6944]

Ryan in northern mn we call that hat a chromer

[@ericthered7226]

Ryan got it right. Non shoot, hunt, trap and fish guns.

[@devongreen7308]

I sold my 300 WSM for my 6.5 PRC. Mark may follow suit.

[@ShockerMain2124]

Casually referencing Karamojo Bell, peak Ryan. Exquisite taste though.

[@Wickedtrucker75]

The best shit hit the fan gun is the one you have and can shoot the best..

[@chadillac95]

I'm rooting for 250 likes so that ryan has to get a cowboy hat

[@Tcgunner]

What was the name of the gun he is looking for? I have a big time collector in my town.

[@wisco_guy]

Wow, your guy’s lists are BORING! It’s NON-SHTF, so why not have fun and non-practical guns?! My list would include a Barrett 50BMG, a full-auto AR-15, H&K MP-7, Taran Tactical Sand Viper and Beretta 1301 shotgun. All with Vortex Optics of course.

[@Swollenfishy]

“YOUR LISTS ARE BORING!!!1!1” *proceeds to list off the most generic vanilla boring COD inspired guns* lmao

[@wisco_guy]

@@Swollenfishy Your reply is vanilla and boring. Don’t act like you wouldn’t want to own any of my picks.

[@Swollenfishy]

@@wisco_guy I wouldn’t because I don’t care for any of those firearms. For multiple reasons for each firearm pick.

[@pogeegitz]

800mm German railroad gun.

[@wisco_guy]

@@pogeegitz Now you’re talking!

[@jordanreid29]

I say look no further than NATO. 9x19 NATO pistol 5.56 NATO semi auto rifle 7.62 NATO bolt rifle 12g (might as well be nato) shotgun 22lr (predates dawn of time) rifle

[@pnw_mountain_craft]

All these goofy suggestions... 1: m4, 20", analog, 70g. 2: 1022, 18", analog. Ammo is available and affordable. Wear parts are available and affordable.

[@FirstLast-ff7qx]

All my old ones that were passed down

[@drmann15]

Hashtag mark has never held a CZ 75 before. Neither have I. But as long as he loves America and gives me one of those sweet hoodies, I’m okay with that.

[@stephenlarson9422]

the formula i use is small rifle, large rifle, shotgun, pistol, miscellaneous. i call this "the hand."

[@ALovelyBunchOfDragonballz]

Not a lot of understanding of the question. A PDP? Really? Every gun in the world and the _fun_ choice is a PDP? No Desert Eagle? No Webley MKIV? And the ARs, the boring ARs. At least pick something like a 601 or 605B. A 605B isnt something im taking to the trenches but i would definetly take it to the range and have a big grin in my face the whole time. Even an M16A2 with a 203 is just a solid vibe.
