long arms. I've not considered three. I have a really nice .30-06 Custom Mauser, ammo should be easy to get. For a light rifle it would be OK. The .338 was to counter Doug's back-up in the same. I found a really slick total custom P14 Enfield set up nice, a real working performance gun with 6X-24x 30mm scope, good optic. My BRNO .416 is a bit big but handy and can do anything if I dope the trajectory.
Handguns would be the custom Reeder-FA2008 in .378 GNR as my primary. I'd like to have a good handy holster gun, .44 or .45 Colt.- 4-5" for a packing gun. My other revolvers are a bit short to meet the limits of 8" and optics. The Super RH in .429 GNR has a 9.5" barrel and would do the trick. Since so many have had success with the FAM83 I might try that in .454 too, but it's only a 7.5". A good Ruger .22 pistol might be good for potting some birds. I'd select three from that list. The the .378 and .429 are primary hunting legal.
