YARP 300 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 What's your "truck gun"? Simple as that. What kind of rifle? How many mags? Optics? Why have you chosen this as your "go to" when away from home? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ThirtyAughtSix 101 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) Saiga 308, 16" barrel, 25 round mag, folded stock... Nothing says fuck off like a 308 out of a 16" barrel point blank. ETA: The mag isn't inserted of course Edited September 9, 2011 by ThirtyAughtSix Quote Link to post Share on other sites
thebuns1 4,323 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) my 30-30 mossberg with about 200 rounds, and a pistol grip mossberg 500 and maybe 75-100 shells. never know. im going to carry my sgl 31 when my pelican case comes in. that way i can take it with me in the work truck as well. its hard to beat a 30-30 for around here. plenty of stopping power and great accuracy. and for the 12ga, few things are more devistating up close than a good shotgun.

Paulyski 2,227 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Juggs has the best IMHO. An old SKS. Cheap enough not to break your heart if stolen & versatile enough for many situations one may encounter. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
armalite_ar50 86 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 5 shot 44 spl. bulldog out of a 2 inch barrel. Course it's not my truck gun it's just on me 24/7. ( don't own a truck smatrened up and bought a JEEP.) Loaded with Winchester 240 silver tips for the "emergency werewolf situation" One of my buddies once asked why I shoot something so slow? I replied " can you run 640 FPS?" He's never spoke of it since. on long trips I mostly grab the IMI UZI and a 30 cal box of 9mm with mags to fill out the haul. with my CCW bully. NEVER needed the UZI and hope I never do. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
YARP 300 Posted September 9, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 Juggs has the best IMHO. An old SKS. Cheap enough not to break your heart if stolen & versatile enough for many situations one may encounter. I used to run a bolt gun for the same reason. About six months ago I finally put insurance on a couple of my guns so my attitude has since changed. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ken1961 14 Posted September 9, 2011 Report Share Posted September 9, 2011 For now mine is a Ruger SR9c with a S&W 642 as a BUG. After I choose and install a rifle rack in the truck, then it will be either the Saiga or the Mosin. Most likely the Mosin as it's cheapest to replace if stolen.

Heath_h49008 442 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Here in Michigan, it has to be a "Michigan Pistol" under 26" OAL and you must have a CCW... Or be on your way to your range, home, or place of business if it is a rifle. A rifle may never be carried loaded. Some of you folks have much better laws. I had a run-in with the Battle Creek police over this one once. That being said, I have my PLR-16. It fits the purpose, but rarely lives in the vehicle. Cars are too easily, and commonly, broken into in my opinion. I keep my weapon on me in all legal situations. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
termite 463 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Either a G19, G30, 1911's, Taurus 357, 454 raging bull, PT709, XD40, FN5.7x28, and if I fell froggy, the vector V53P with the beta drum, but when on long trips in the dually, the Mossberg 500 stuffed between my seat and the console. Plus, the wife carries a Judge in her purse and a Ruger SRC9 on her side, and I almost always have the NAA 22 mag in my front pocket, just in case. There's a bunch more in the safes downstairs, but I can't remember all the toys right now. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Saiga_rom 91 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 i dont have a ccw, so i dont carry a firearm on me or in my car at any time except when im on my way to the shooting range. but if i could choose one firearm, id want my draco with an 80 round drum. too bad im gonna have to move out of california before i can get that drum though Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Saiga_rom 91 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 on a side note though, i am intending to eventually move to the lake tahoe area. if and when i do that, the first two things im going to get are a ccw and a 50 cal desert eagle. not for self defense against people, but rather bears. i will not be a snack for a bear, or any other wild animal.

I'm sure you meant a 75-rnd, (or 100), rnd drum in your previous post. Fuck a DE, (they're fairly ridiculous except as range toys imo), get a Glock 20 with a 6" barrel and full-power 10mm rounds; 15 per mag, (17 or 20 with aftermarket floorplates). That'll fuck a b'ar up, no problem, and you can also carry it concealed with the 4.6" factory barrel in place, (still plenty potent). 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

dashowdy 141 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 Cali 10mm is what is issued to police in greenland when they are on patrol in case of polar bears. Get a 10mm, and enjoy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Arik 565 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) I have a ccw so I dont really have a need for a trunk gun. But regardless i wouldnt keep one. First I wouldnt want it stolen and second I live and work on the border with a state that doesnt allow CCW, doesnt recognize anyone else's CCW, and has strict rules as to what kind of evil features you can have on a rifle. Sometimes I have to travel through that state and I dont want to be stuck at the last second not know what to do with my trunk gun.

Saiga_rom 91 Posted September 10, 2011 Report Share Posted September 10, 2011 thats interesting guys. i knew 10mm was incredibly powerful, but i didnt know it was powerful enough to drop a bear. i guess i just figured more is better. when it comes down to it though, id much rather have a glock 20 over a desert eagle. but what id really like is glock in 44 mag Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MT Predator 2,294 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 I CCW all the time so the sidearm is already on me. A WASR rides in my rig because like Jugg's SKS, it's cheap if it does get stolen. I purchased this WASR a few years ago that had an ACOG TA01NSN on it. Essentially, I bought an ACOG and got a free WASR with mags and ammo to boot. It had a quadrail on it already so I added a VFG and light to it as well as an EMI aluminum buffer tube for a M4 stock, and a SAW grip. I run irons on this one. It is surprisingly accurate for a cheap AK. I don't run the ACOG on it as it is calibrated for a 5.56 NATO Carbine anyway plus expensive to chance losing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jdmakersmark 15 Posted September 12, 2011 Report Share Posted September 12, 2011 SS mini-14 folder and a few 20 round mags. It's reliable, folds up small and goes bang when I pull the trigger. I'd rather have my Saiga, but I can't stand the thought of theft. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
