This is the most accurate post here.. If S has really HTF so bad that you're grabbing a rifle then something has gone horribly wrong. At that point it makes no difference.

That being said.. I hope it's something similar to that rifle

Plasma rifle in the 200 watt range. 40 watts is so yesterday.....

Suppressed of course.

I have better rifles for SHTF but this is generally what I have handy day-to-day so this is most likely what will be handy if it ever does happen.

1895 Winchester SRC .30-06 keep it loaded with heavy 220 grain bullets.

I’ve got a suppressed AR in 5.56 with a thermal on it. Very handy but uses batteries. Can charge it with a solar panel though.

Probably my 11.5” 5.56 suppressed with an aim point on it.

My SCAR 17 wouldn’t be a bad choice though.

One of my favorite guns that I hope to buy in the future.

And what part of WA are you in? I'd love to live on the east side.

Unfortunately I'm down by Yakistan now days. Used to be up in northern Grant Co (less people = mo'betta). PM me if you're over this way and want to shoot. I've got a 1895 in .30-06 and .30-40 and hope to add a .405 soon.

I’ve decided to keep this. Will be ordering an Aimpont Pro and a new Magpul stock. Need to get a sling as well.

I keep a general budget Nikon on mine and have fiber back up's on it. Funny how I spy many of these setup's in here with optic's that costs as much or more than the builds, but no iron site back ups on the....What are ya gonna do when that battery dies, or that glass breaks at that point?

Probably my AR pistol with the MGI upper with the extra parts to shoot whatever ammo I find.
Currently I can set it up for .22 LR, 5.56mm, .300BO, 7.62x39mm, 9mm, .458 Socom. With a 1x4 scope in a larue mount, BUIS, light, and single point sling.
Currently it is an AR pistol(If TEOWAWKI happens, I'll put a stock on it and a .22 suppressor for "discreet hunting") housed in a small aluminum guncase but I want to modify a non-discript day pack to carry barrels, BCGs, magazines, "parts," etc. I want to keep it light and concealable.
I'll also add some basic survival gear to the pack; water filter, fire making, first aid, etc. I'd like to keep it under 10-15 lbs. Of course this is a "bugout" situation, "bugging in" is a whole different situation.(Realistically, I'm not going to last very long at my age and condition if I have to be constantly on the move. It's nice to "war game" these situations though!

)
I own "several" of the firearms posted already but I would not feel under gunned with this AND my 5.7 Pistol. It may be hard to find ammo but you can carry a whole lot of ammo for that gun. It is lethal and great for a SHTF situation, especially suppressed.

Anything is better than a sharp stick!

Oh man I have wanted a punt gun since reading Peter Capstick’s biography of Colonel Richard Meinertzhagen. Being mostly single shot it seems unlikely that they would be subject to future legislation along with the fact that most people don’t even know such a thing exists. As far as SHTF usage I guess they could be a good point defense weapon if mounted on a pintle. Like a reloadable claymore.

I have only seen ammo for them on a few occasions, it was mostly 4 gauge and was more collectible than shooting ammo. Probably not too difficult to load your own if you were able to find some brass as it’s basically just a big black powder shotgun.

Exact opposite.

At my age, I don't think I could handle shit actually hitting a fan.

If the turd could just be left lying, like in one spot, I could snipe the hell out of that from overwatch with my 10-22. Not too far away....it only has a 4 power on it.

If the SHTF probably my 22 AR pistol. Ammo is light. It's accurate, and it's quiet w/ a suppressor. I can kill anything around here (KS) w/ a 22 if necessary.

We’re only supposed to have one?

I’m not a fan of parity so AR isn’t my first choice. I’ll take something that reaches out farther or hits harder up close and leave my wife with an AR for ease of use.
