Reeder Custom Guns - Desert island

All this cold weather has me dreaming of warmer places. Being marooned on a desert island doesn't sound so bad in the dead of winter.
And if I were to be stuck on a desert island, that I hadn't explored, I'd like to have my 41GNR blackhawk and my 257 Raptor contender.
What 2 guns would you all take?

a flamethrower (for whatever the .22 can't handle).

What about food and water. For guns a plastic stocked Ruger 10/22 and a LAR Grizzly in 45 Win mag and a ton of ammo.

No 22 single six and a 7.5 inch Ruger 45 colt? Wow! Times they do achange...

I agree on the 22, definitely my Taurus PT22 and as much ammo as I can take... in the immortal words of Hal Swiggett:

“Not knowing what was to take place I definitely lean towards my High Standard .22 LR autoloader but since you specified sixguns I guess it would be my Charter Amis 3 " .22 LR topped with Hutson's I X scope. I know for sure number two gun would be .22 LR and I wouldn't feel totally naked if it were to be the ONLY gun. In my opinion,.22 LR offers a far wider range of uses than ANY OTBER CALIBER. You can have fun with it; you can eat with it, you can defend yourself with it and yes, even kill some mighty big game with it-if need be. As to how it is carried makes little difference-so long as it is handy which means with you all the time.”

Gillian’s island have Japanese take over the island? I’ll take something a bit bigger. Maybe a 308 with a sniper scope.

while I turn Mary Ann into my new motorcycle. Those dog ears! Ginger never even came close. A good heavy knife and hatchet would do nicely. I like the Nylon 66, hard to scope well though and even if you did they'd only do about 2" at 50 yds. But they would shoot and weighed only 4 lbs. I had the bolt version too, a Model 10 single shot.

A thousand 2" wooden blocks thrown up in the air in one shooting session with the nylon 22?

The gun has an interesting history. They were about $30-35 new when I was a kid. Ya didn't have to oil them. Just NEVER, ever, try to take them apart!
