Spring has sprung. Get out and shoot your Henry
What is your favorite knock around gun.
What is your favorite knock around gun.
When I head to my property to check on the cows and fences, I throw my SKS in the truck. I've taken many hogs with it and once a coyote. I love that I have less that $100 in cost and I shoot the steel cased Russian ammo in it. What's your knock around gun??

Re: What is your favorite knock around gun.
I have two long arms. My Chinese SKS and my Henry AR-7 survival rifle. My short arms I also have two. A Bulgarian Makarov and a Czech CZ82 pistol.

Re: What is your favorite knock around gun.
Not really a knock around but my EDC is a Springfield Armory 9mm.
When up at our mountain cabin in the summer, my knock around is my S&W 686 revolver.
Of course I love my Henrys too☺....oh, I also have a Norinco SKS.

Re: What is your favorite knock around gun.
I don’t generally do anything that makes me throw a rifle in the truck but I ALWAYS have a handgun with me. But when we travel with our trailer I always throw my home defense shotgun in the trailer and this last summer due to the unrest I added an AR-15 to the mix. Thankfully neither saw the light of day. Of course we traveled to Montana and South Dakota, not exactly the hotbed of unrest.

Most of the time it's the Rossi 357, other times its 22 mag bolt action Marlin.
The Savage I picked up back in the Summer, will probably replace the others this year.

Re: What is your favorite knock around gun.
the only firearms we own that literally make every trip we take is a Remington 11-87 12 ga and my wife's J-Frame 38 .. .. rifles vary with where we are going and what we have planned

Re: What is your favorite knock around gun.
I carry a Ruger LCRX in 38 special. But if I had to take a rifle that would be in the knock around gun class it would be my Windom 7.62x39 or my Ruger American bolt action in 300 blackout.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: What is your favorite knock around gun.
When we travel in our RV, I usually carry my Henry H009, 30-30. You know that cute little cowboy rifle.
