There are 4 firearms that every home should contain. - Ruger 10/22 (Or another .22)
- An AR-15 (Or any other semi auto intermediate cartridge rifle)
- Remington 870 (Or another 12ga shotgun)
- Glock 19 (Or another semi auto pistol)

You've overlooked a .30 cal that can reach out over half a mile with accuracy and knock down power. A good bolt action should be in every safe.

This is true, but it does not need to be a bolt action at all. The idea here is the absolute basics, covering each group. Rifle, Shotgun, Pistol, Rimfire. A good bolt action is worthless without skill behind it. The idea is hunting, survival, personal defense, and militia. Least my thoughts on it. Besides this is me, it wouldn't ever be .30. It would be 6.5!

I understand that many people had 10/22 as their first gun, but I wouldn't recommend it as a best representative for a rimfire rifle group.
Here's my version of the list above: Savage MKII FV/CZ 452 CZ 75BD/Sig p226 + 22 conversion kit Smith&Wesson 686/629 Savage 10fp-sr AR-15/AK-47 Remington 870 with various barrels

Incredibly accurate low cost bolt gun. I hem and haw over that, but the convinence of the semi auto is nothing to shake a stick at. A 10/22 can be as accurate as a MKII, while being semi auto. And The 10FP... Well If you can find an original.

Maybe so, but a good bolt action can shoot groups inside the best semi auto long range groups. I always liked the idea of hitting any target that could shoot back at me well before the sound made it there. And not have to do it with multiple shots. No issues with 6.5's but .308 ammo and bullets are a lot more plentiful. Can even find .308 in foreign countries.

There is no real functional difference in accuracy with a bolt gun and a well built semi auto these days. I know of a few guys on this board who have built ARs that will put rounds inside of half a dime. Long gone are the days of oprods. [emoji12]

[emoji12] You don't have to build them, you can buy them, affordably. Rock River AR10 has a 1MOA guarantee. I have the LAR-8 predator model and with match ammo it will hit golf balls at 200 yards and clay pigeons at 500 yards. Seems accurate enough for most people. It is a select few that can shoot that well to start with regardless of the equipment.
