I see you running, tell me what your running from
Nobody's coming, what ya do that was so wrong.
I compleatly forgot about this poll.
I chose the AK.
Its reliable,cheap and user freindly.
If one of mine craps outy(unlikely) or damaged I can easily repair or just build another one.
Ammo is readily available as well as parts,so no worries there.
FHUGETABOUDIT!!!
AK for me as well, had I known or shot one before I got a AR I would have stuck with this platform.

AHHHHH LOOK OUT!!! THIS THREAD CAME BACK FROM THE DEAD!
There are obviously a lot of factors and different scenarios, but I would go with a Ruger 10/22. You can easily carry hundreds, if not thousands, of rounds and a .22 is just as deadly as a .308 in most situations. ...Just try not to get into a firefight with a .308

6.5 inch SS single six.
Pros:
.22/.22MAG
.22 is easy to carry
I can hit a 16inch plate supported at 100 yards
.22 is not a joke when you can actually hit vitals
versatility
simple mechanical function
barring ammo quality, if the hammer falls it will go off.
It is stainless steel
It is relatively light
it has adjustable sights.
I can switch to Magnum for a quick 6 mor rounds.
In SHTF I do not plan on getting into a firefight
In SHTF I want to evade
In SHTF if I am not at home I am in big trouble anyway
In SHTF I want the best bang for the pound not neccesarily the biggest.
Wow, if it all unraveled to the point where I could only have one firearm, I think it would be a pistol. I can always hunt with a bow or trap with snares etc. I'd want up close and personal defensive capability with the ability for quick follow-up shots.
Mom's comin' 'round to put it back the way it ought to be.
Anyone that thinks war is good is ignorant. Anyone that thinks war isn't needed is stupid.
Honestly it doesnt matter much what I get caught out with, as long as I have something it will be used to the best of my ability. That said.. I pick an AR in 5.56 because-
Excellent ammo availability
Proven durable and reliable
Lightweight and low recoil, I know I can carry it all day and shoot it as much as is needed
smaller lighter ammo, can carry more
Can reload in the field with a hand press
Breaks down and conceals in a backpack, discreet bag, etc.
.308 is not a bad choice, but the heavier weight and recoil make it a second choice
.22LR/22Magnum is a great choice, but cannot reload either round
Id take a 12 Gauge Tactical Shotgun. Light loads, rabbit, squirrel, small birds. Medium loads ducks, geese, small game. Then get nasty for zombies with 00 - 000 Buck shot. And slugs for big game, deer, elk, etc.
Plus there are specialty loads also. Dragon's breath, Flechette, Piranha, bolo, etc. And for the not so lethal loads rubber buckshot and slugs.
Where can you get dragns breath locally?
