OK, so the gun safe question got me to thinking.
If you could only have one weapon from your arsenal (for some reason) what would it be and why?
Currently in my home I have my new ROSS bow, my Browning Lite A-5, and an American Arms Phantom semi auto gas operated shotgun. It's a no brainer for me, I love that A-5 like there's no other.
Even when my guns were stored in my dad's Fort Knox safe, it was easily still the Browning A-5 that I would save, but there are two other guns with "family history" that would be hard to lose.
I'd chose my A-5 because it is literally an extension of my arm. I purchased this gun my Sophmore year in highschool from our families gun dealer. I had been saving for a bird gun, and Rick our dealer, found two. A real nice Winchester and this Browning A-5. I was able to take both guns afield and shot pheasants with them both, but that A-5 was a better fit. It's a versatile gun since I have a Hastings Slug barrel for it and it utilizes the invector choke tube system. Many pheasants, some quail, a turkey, several deer, and more clay-birds than you can throw a stick at have seen the wrong end of my A-5.
I think it will forever be my favorite gun, but for the past two years I've been in the market for a differnt slug gun because common sense is telling me to take a little more care of my A-5 since Browning let them go extinct...plus the iron sights don't fit my lost eye-sight as well anymore, but that's another story.
