Real men use 10 gauge shotguns.What's this 20ga BS? ALL my shotguns have been and will always be 12ga. No substitutes.
I'll just shoot one of my 20 gauge shotguns twice then...Real men use 10 gauge shotguns.
Nope. Lever action pistol in .45-70. Sure, less rounds, but very compact. You didn't need your wrist anyways, right?Lever action 45-70. Get sum.
I appreciate everyone's opinions and insights. To clarify a few points and questions
1. These are firearms I already have so I won't be buying anything new for this trip. Although a lever action would be cool!
2. The long gun will be secured to the vehicle when I'm off hiking or having a meal. This should greatly reduce the possibility of someone breaking into the truck and stealing the gun. Is theft still possible? Sure. But life is a balancing act.
3. I'll be traveling with the long gun unloaded to avoid legal hassle. I have a pistol and if I'm in a situation where that isn't sufficient and I don't have time to get to my other gun....well then I really messed up.
3. Most nights will be spent camping with a few in hotels. Either way the long gun will be with me and not left in a vehicle.
Right now I'm leaning towards the shotgun.
Thanks again!
I'd suggest , if you are wanting a long gun either a :
Pump action shotgun...
Or
A Lever action rifle in .30-30 or some revolver cartridge.
Both of these options are multi state friendly and look "less threatening" to many people...which may be a concern.

I have been putting serious thought into making a tacticool 30-30 with a Midwest rail for a light attachment and MRO.
