I specified "no semis" to keep from getting mostly "AK" or "AR" responses. Most of us own one or the other or both, and either would probably be our "Out The Door" rifles.Is it a gun I already own?
Who's carrying my ammo...?
wff is a "Not a semi-auto"?
Vanilla Answer - Tikka T3 in .308. Butter smooth bolt is faster than my hand.
Boring - I know. But I've never shot 500 yards more accurately in my entire life - and, well - that, "No semi" rule....

Sir Andy,Can't speak for Joe13.
I can say that for where I live and hunt...
100 yards is a far shot.*
With practice even with just a bead front sight 100 yards is very doable with slugs from a shotgun.
( Or even patched round ball and flintlock fowler )
I would imagine that a shotgun equipped with peep sights , you could move that distance out a mite further.
( And practice )
So with that in mind..."reaching out and touching someone" can mean different things at different places.

*Excepting the clear cut areas...but critters tend to avoid those places.....
My first "real" rifle was number 1 in .300 win mag. Now this was what we would consider a looooong time ago, and a time when these things could be had used for a few hundo. I loved how the rifle looked. I loved the light weight and I loved how space efficient it was for the barrel length. Oh yeah. decent, but not outstanding accuracy. Probably me, but let's just pretend it was the rifle.My friend has a red pad Ruger No 1 in .300 H&H Magnum. It's a mighty fine rifle and I have always liked that cartridge. I would go with that.

It is the only type of firearm you can aggressively shoot and defensively pop smoke at the same time!No matter how good you are in one-shot-per-minute, with the options you have, is that what you'd really pick to oppose the forces of tyranny today?
