I have a custom 20" AR chambered in 458 socom, imagine a mid level 45/70 in an AR, had a co look at the end of the barrel once as he was checking for a loaded weapon, when he saw the hole in the barrel his expression changed and he said "your really serious about self protection aren't ya"

Adam,
Few people realize how hard a tractor is on a carry gun mounted on a tractor, especially with a bush hog that throws everything forward under the tractor, which causes the dirt and dust to boil up all around you. The carry gun best be a tough absolute functioning gun.

Ridge Runner, I have always been curious about the 458 Socom; have you figured out a way to get around the cost of the bullets? I shoot three 458 guns and none are semi-auto, so I imagine the Socom could easily get to be a hard hog to feed. No doubt it would be a good Truck gun...... kill a 69 Dodge in one shot.

My personal choice for a rifle for protection wouldn't be a rifle at all but a 12 ga. shotgun loaded with buckshot.
