I worked for my dad in his pallet company, and had saved up to buy me a new 870 from the Kmart, and I remember bringing it home and just sitting there staring at it like it was a beautiful woman (it was night time, or I would have been shooting it ). I am now 67 years old, so it has been 52 years since I bought mine, and thousands of shells later, it is just as reliable as the day I bought it.

How many farmers have guns on the gun rack which are older than they are because they were their fathers or grandfathers and they work. How many shotguns do you see which are upwards of 50 years old because they work in the far more versatile than a rifle or even a pistol in terms of what you can kill them. But also in terms of home defence they are better weapon than an a15 in a tight spot under stress. You could easily do a fire gun video but the reality is how many people that she only got one or maybe two guns and one of them is a shotgun because that that versatile.

I love these 5 gun videos because of the philosophical discussions, particularly when Barry was still around. I have been a farmer/livestock raiser all my life and my top 5 "farmer" guns would be: 1. .22lr rifle of some type (probably Ruger 10/22) 2. Pump shotgun in 12 gauge 3. Lever action rifle in 30-30 4. .357 Mag DA revolver 5. AR or Ruger Ranch Rifle in .223

Great choices, especially the honorable mention. With all of the AR platform options, people have forgotten about the M-1 carbine. They used to be fairly cheap to buy. In the early to mid 80's, I used an M-1 carbine as a "ranch rifle" before I bought my first AR-15. They definitely do the trick. Unfortunately, ammo has rocketed in price, and become scarce in availability, especially now. Mine is a remanufactured carbine, so the collectible value is zero. ~AWESOME VIDEO.~

That title used to belong to the lever action repeaters though.

That was the first gun I ever bought, and the last I'd sell. I bought a second barrel for it, and it'll do (maybe overdo) all I ask.

1) 12 gauge Mossberg 500 pump. Shotguns are the most versatile firearms in the world. 2) Ruger 10/22 It's quiet ,lightweight, a must have on a farm. 3) Marlin lever action 30/30. 30/30 rifles have taken the most whitetail deer in US history. Great brush, and truck guns. 4) 7mm Rem Magnum for that long range shot across the field. Flatter trajectory than a 30-06. 5) Glock 17 the one that started it all. Full size, and 17+1 of 9mm.

Farming sure has changed over the years. When I was growing up in deepest, darkest Appalachia (70s-early 80s), there were probably more single-shot shotguns in rear-window gun racks, leaning or laying within reach than anything else. I rarely saw handguns, but back in those days, attitudes and laws regarding handguns were much different than today. Rifles only came out if one had to reach out and lay the smackdown on a groundhog and usually they were either .22lr or .22WMR.

@@tootall5559 I have to agree with you, based on where I come from. Here even wheat farmers without any cattle are called ranchers. But usage in Georgia must differ.

Ive lived on a ranch in NW Montana my entire life. Growing up, our most utilized guns were: Springfield 1903-A3 in 30-06, 16 Gauge bolt action shotgun made by Sears, Mossberg Model 46B-B .22LR, Savage Model 65M .22Magnum, M1 .30 Carbine, an old Chilean Mauser in 7x57 Mauser, Ruger P-89 9mm, and Ruger Blackhawk .357 Magnum. Those were the ones we used the most.

As my truck gun that I carried for years I had a Rossi Puma .357 lever action. I used it until I wore it out. I harvested 3 elk with it and an uncountable number of deer. I dropped coyotes with it out to 250 yards. I didn't use factory ammunition except to empty the brass for reloading. I created a deerskin sock for it with a drawstring to keep the dust and dirt out because it rode in my old Toyota Landcruiser for years. Now I have a Ruger M77/357 but there is always a .22 in the truck.

I've been born and raised in a ranching family in the great state of Texas and I have to say when we got our first ar15, it helped a lot on the hog population.

Can’t believe I didn’t see a .22 on the table, grew up on a ranch and shot more critters with my 10/22 than anything else. Bolt gun in the hands of a farmer on his land is probably more devastating than any marine with a Scar heavy!

When i was younger it was taught to me Dont fear the noise and the control the recoil

Suppress everything! Same here, I want to suppress it all, even if I still need ear pro. Also, electronic ear pro while hunting makes me feel like I have a super hearing.

Farmers from overseas choose the Kalashnikov.

@@daskook2656 I used to be a big AK guy, but these days I think the AK has become outdated. ARs are cheaper, last longer, and easier to assemble. I used to have over 20 AK (I built a lot when parts kits were dirt cheap because no one knew how to rebuild them), I sold them all to buy ARs and Glocks. I even have an AR with an 80% lower that accepts all my old AK mags so I didn't have to buy a ton of new mags. AK are still fun for the novelty and they will work if that is what you already have, but for people who have the ability to choose a rifle, I don't think there is any practical reason to not choose an AR as a rifle. Some AR builds under the sales during Trump were even cheaper than buying a bolt action. I got an LR308 for $400! Cannot beat that.

@crazy silly The AR is better and cheaper. Even Russian SOF have moved towards the AR platform (although not exclusively). I can carry a 40 round magazine in a smaller package than any x39 cartridge 30 round magazine. I bought tons of AR during Trump's presidency, I averaged at about $350 per complete rifle (irons included, but nothing else). Absolute steals. For fun guns I have gas blowback airsoft guns of all kinds of firearms so I still get the fun. I enjoy the AK platform for that, but I prefer an AR for firearms.

Good choices but you forgot one..... the lever action. Marlin 336 in .35 Remington. Or maybe a lever action in 38/357.

My list: 1) 22 LR most popular firearm in the world probably 2) 223/5.56 for varmint/self-defense 3) 12 gauge and 20 gauge 4) 9mm or 357 magnum, basically some type of handgun 5) 7mm-08 for long distance shooting and deer hunting Bonus: My grandfathered 30-30

Nice job Will. All great choices. Only possible farm exception would be a brush gun like a lever 30-30 or 45-70 or bolt 450 bushy. Something that can bust through the thick brush and still get the job done.

Too bad we even have to worry about guns being “unassuming”. 🇺🇸🤘🏻

Kinda sad as my Glennfield .22 I got on my 12th birthday was stolen.... Bought thru Sears & Roebuck like most were.

I grew up in Arizona with livestock, cattle, horses, and sheep. 60 miles from the nearest store to buy ammo and not a large variety in choice. What I always saw from my family and others, growing up was; 30-30, .22LR, .22 mag, 12 gauge, and .270. Also seen a lot of SKS because they were cheap back in the day. Nowadays I have been seeing more AR type rifles. A common theme was a rifle with scope that could take out a coyote or wild dogs at a distance.

Hey fellas, I'm a Canuck from north of the 41st and am an avid watcher to your highly informative site. As you are probably aware, Our Liberal government lead by his majesty Justin Trudno (AKA Trudeau) has placed a blanket ban on "Most" semi Auto firearms here in Canada, which had little in-depth study before they instructed the RCMP to do so. Matter of fact, the blanket ban even included "coffee" from Black Creek Labs, yes coffee. The ban also included firearms with an internal bore in excesss of 20mm, which took the 10 Gauge off the market, and anything imparting energy in excess of 10,000 Joules, (50 cal). Growing up on the Farm In Alberta, I shot a lot. Probably pulling a trigger for the first time when I was about 7 or 8 years old. Anyhow, and thanks for listening to my rant, but If you have time, I would like to see a vid, on lead on target at 100, 200, and 300 yards / Meters of a .223 / 5.56 semi-auto rifle vs a bolt action of the same caliber from you in fast succession (timed) to get an appreciation on how an experienced shooter such as yourselves can manipulate the bolt action vs a semi-auto action (time and accuracy) Food for thought...Keep your powder dry.

I have an old wingmaster that was passed down to me. It was the first 12 gauge I started shooting and it definitely holds some sentimental value.

Before I even watch I’m going with a Ruger 10/22, Remington 870 combo, Remington 700 22/250, some type of AR15 and a semiautomatic pistol (probably a Glock). Let’s see how I do

Farmers are usually practical and thrifty. 1. Ruger 10/22 2. Mossberg 590 Retro 3. Ruger AR556 with chf, chrome lined barrel and bolt. No better $800 has ever been spent anywhere. 4. Glock 19. I'm not even a Glock fan. But it's hard to argue with this choice. 5. Remington 700 or Winchester Model 70 in 30-06 or .308Win. With today's loading, there's about a 50yd difference between the two.

I am a farmer and have been for 50 years and a volunteer police officer for over 30 years. I have farmed beef cattle, hogs, horses, chickens, grain, and truck crops. Everyone should have an AR or similar in 5.56 to fulfill their 10 United States Code duty, but as to the top 5 farmer guns, 1. 22 rifle, doesn't much matter what kind as long as accurate and reliable. 2. 20 or 12 gauge shotgun 3. 38, 357, 44, or 45 revolver. 45 1911. 4. 30-30 or 35 lever gun 5. 243, 270, 308, or 30-06 in bolt or semiautomatic. 6. Wild card: M1 carbine just because.

Shot my first hog with a Russian AK....spun it around 360, ran 10 foot and dropped.. We use to get deer, hog and other critters on our ranch 20 years ago when nothing was built around us, now the city is next door.....time to move again.

Some good choices. Include miny 14, 30-30 lever action, and any 22 caliber.

M1 carbine with 110gr hollow points is vicious within its range. Also I believe Ruger still makes a Blackhawk revolver in 30M1carbine with 71/2" bbl.

This commentary is a great example of pushing firearms for the manufacturer,which is simply free advertising. I am a farmer,you only need 3 firearms. .22,shot shotgun in your preferred gauge, and a good ole 30/30 carbine

Chad looks a bit different today.......

I get the Glock being more "sealed" than a hammered fired gun. I've still seen a lot of gunk get into the nose of the gun. Not as critical of an area, but it still collects stuff.

I grew up on a farm/ranch operation in North Dakota. We raised Hereford/Angus crossed cattle, and had a few Simmental thrown in for good measure too. We had around 100 head at our peak. We mainly raised our own feed for our cattle. We had corn for silage, prairie hay and alfalfa along with oats, (some of which was used for oats hay, and the rest was grain oats for feeding calves), and spent the long cold winters feeding them. We also raised Hard Red Spring Wheat as our cash crop. We had a few .22 pump rifles, which were kept loaded with bird shot for pest control, but we also had a 7mm mag my grandpa had for deer hunting. Dad got a 30/30 Winchester from a friend years ago, and I had a Marlin 60 .22, a Dan Wesson .357 stainless 4 inch and a Ruger 95 9mm. Those were my farmer guns.

I got a 16ga Ranger 105-20 from my grandpa who got it from his dad when he died. It’s a bolt action 16ga shotgun that we use for coyotes at our house. It’s a nice gun and I’d never replace it even if I was given a much better gun. So far I’ve killed 12 coyotes with it so I think it works well.

If you’re a farmer you probably grew up with a 870 in you’re hands. The reason we always used the 870 or 11-87 over the mossberg 500 or 590 is reliability and the mossberg shotguns have always rattled and didn’t make me feel like my gun was as tight as a Remington.

My #1 pick is a 22mag. Gives you good ballistics for short and medium range shots, quite a bit more range than the 22lr and 22mag bullets are constructed much better than 22lr
