About This Quiz

Being a redneck isn't just a label. It's a way of life. It means working outside until your neck gets sunburn. It means a simple life in the countryside, enjoying a simpler life. The simpler life means fishing, trapping, and shooting. So you'll need a gun.

Picking any gun is a deeply personal choice. Buying a Taurus gets you a free paid membership with the NRA, for example. But you're not looking for any old gun, let alone a pistol. You're looking for a rifle. Specifically, the kind of rifle you can toss in the back of your pickup and not look like a city slicker headed to the countryside to play Paul Bunyan for a weekend.

You may be a redneck. You might not be. It's not down to us to decide. What we can do is determine what redneck rifle you should have. To do this, we have devised a series of questions intended to tease out relevant details about your personality, psychology, and lifestyle. Please be honest when you answer these questions. Your honesty means we will be able to say, scientifically, which redneck rifle is right for you. Getting the wrong one could be... embarrassing.
