Alright, so my house got robbed.

[bmbmd]

I lost all my deer rifles, including two brownings and a custom Mauser .243. I lost most of my shotguns, including two over and unders. I got my insurance settlement, which was about half the replacement cost. I'm thinking of streamlining my collection-two twelve gauge autoloaders and a twenty side by side. Maybe a single shot .270 and a 7mm mag Remington. (and a really good gun safe!) Any suggestions?

1. Don't know your needs...

But my Beretta 20 ga. autolaoder is my "do-all" shotgun.

2. Goddammit, that sucks!

Don't know much about shotguns.

For a single-shot rifle, the Thompson Contenders are really nice. Best iron sights I have ever seen. I tend to prefer military-sized ammunition because of its availibility. Consequently, I would prefer 0.308 for a high-power rifle.

3. At the risk of sounding insensitive.......

what sort of security did you have to prevent the guns being stolen?

Just wondering. I'm assuming it must have been fairly good if the insurance paid out?
