The ONE gun for SHTF

[Marlin]

Hmmm, I was just thinking of getting a 6" barrel for the G20.. Should cover most anything under 150 yrds..

Pistol for sure. It's most likely what I'll have on me. I can secure a long rifle later if need be. Easily to conceal, quick to use. In a situation, we aren't going to be sniping in hills, terminal contact will be close proximity with major chaos.

...Which is where I think a shotgun would come in handy.

Rgr, there are pros and cons to both.

My vote, HK 91, won't break, will function without constant cleaning, completely reliable, accurate, non "poodle shooter" caliber. .223 is an "urban" battle rifle, if you want to "reach out and touch someone" and they won't be getting back up, use a .308. HK just works no matter what.

I really like the non "poodle shooter" If you don't mind I am going to start using that

I did not vote. I could not JUST choose one. I will always have a sidearm incase of rifle failure for starters unless i am trekking in the woods long distance. The gun i choose will vary from situation to situation. If i am forced to go in the city the firearm i choose will vary greatly from the firearm I choose to go out in the woods. So asking what one gun is best is not a very good question unless you go into more specifics about the SHTF situation you are in. I love the short barrel 12 gauge in close quarters but its pretty much useless out in the open. But in a gunfight the best gun you can choose is one you are trained on and is very reliable with decent ammo.

Yeah I voted for a rifle but your absolutely right. In a SHTF I'll have two pistols and two rifles. I'll have my carry pistol and my AR, the wife will have her carry piece and a .308 bolt gun. Quite honestly, I foresee no situation where I don't have all of that in a SHTF.

If I ha to pick just one for backcountry it would be a savage 2400 o/u
308/12guage. These were pretty acurate and gave you 1 gun that could take bird, and big game

The one on my side. With that, I can get whatever else I need (cars, food, more guns...)
