Reader Comments of the Week
“I’d probably go with a Scavenger 6 Revolver Rifle and a Medusa Model 47 Revolver Pistol and possibly even a Flintlock Rifle of some kind if and when ammunition availability becomes an issue. The Medusa will chamber .380 apc/7.62×25 Tokarev/9×19/9×23/.38 Spc/.38 SW/.357 Mag., whereas the Scavenger will chamber virtually anything available up to and including a .410-gauge. My goal is to survive, not to massacre with extreme prejudice…”
– SECUNDIUS, in response to Apocalypse Guns: Best Firearms for SHTF Scenarios
“As a left-eye dominant right hander, I have had a few problems over the last 50 years with guns that eject to the right. Auto-loaders especially, but even with a pump, occasionally the breech can malfunction allowing debris into the face of the shooter. For that reason, I have preferred bottom eject pump shotguns for years—I started with an Ithaca 37 in 12 ga and she still functions as sweet as the first shot. Well made and incredibly reliable with years of police and military service credit. I also have a Browning BPS in 28 GA. and 20 GA and they are sweet. I would recommend either to a left-handed shooter. The Ithaca is readily available used and there may be clones, but the Browning BPS is available new.”
– REX, in response to 6 Best Pump-Action Shotguns
“Any of the Henry 22’s are good as they shoot all three types of 22 ammo, long rifle, long and short plus they are accurate and easy to maintain.”
– MIKE, in response to 7 Best .22 LR Rifles
