    Question The apocalypse is coming.....

    ...and its time to grab just one rifle (or pistol if that's your choice) to put the odd bit of food on the table and get rid of the rats, etc....

    So what are you going to take and in what calibre?

    Something older and capable of years of everyday service without attention or access to shops carrying spares?
    Or something newer?...I'll allow a stirrup pump if you want to take something pre-charged

    TX200, I would want something extremely heavy, so it could be used as a club too if my shooting was off
    Is there such a thing as owning too many guns?

    Me too. Although I'd be settling for a slightly softer spring and maybe 15ft.lbs and smooth, but not lazy, cycle.

    Sort of ditto, but I'd opt for the 'K' version (carbine), and in .25 calibre, and set it at 22 ft.lb.
