Ultimate SHTF Rifle

HardHatMan · Aug 11, 2010

What would be your ultimate SHTF rifle if you could only choose 1 and why?

Taking into consideration this will be used for everything, hunting and self defense.

MDMOUNTAINEER · Aug 11, 2010

AR of some variant probably. Parts are readily available, as is ammunition, etc.

WeaponsCollector · Aug 11, 2010

That's a tough one. The AK would work but for hunting I'd prefer something more accurate so I'd have to say the SKS. Mostly because of its accuracy and reliability. One of these days I'm going to make some room for an AR15.

Something in 30-06 preferably in semi-auto, which will take down just about anything in North America.

RFB. Compact in a real caliber. If you can't shoot through trees and cars what good is it?

JeepDriver · Aug 11, 2010

M4

Ammo commonality, light recoil, reliability ( the quality built ones), mag capacity and weight.

haoleboy · Aug 11, 2010

H&R single shot .22 LR

SCARCQB · Aug 11, 2010

M1A

Take down everything from game, vehicles and crazy people armed with AR15s and AK's.

M1A EBR = zombie slayer

For back-up, I'm packing a Colt M4 and a Glock 34

That is a great gun, but the ammo availability would scare me away from it. I would go for almost anything chambered in 7.62 NATO. Seems like enough power to take down game and the crazies. Ammo availability wouldn't seem like a problem.

Flamethrower.
Kill it and cook it.

Of course with this being Maryland and the S does HTF I will more than likely be miles away from my firearms that are sitting at the bottom of the Chesapeake.

I guess I will have my CRKT folder.

Did Beta ever release the drums for the M1A ? I would love to have one of them.

All you need is enough ammo and skill to kill the first opponent and then take his gun and ammo, then continue with each new opponent.

There isn't going to be a magic ray gun used that causes all guns found on the street to vanish.

jaywade · Aug 11, 2010

well I would have to grab my AR and my mossberg 590 I have a scabbard that's fits on by "go bag"

so my AR my go bag w/ mossberg 590 ofcourse there would be some pistol's in there too but that's another story

Another good option is the FN PS90
Ammo is slightly a problem, but you can easily carry 600 rounds without breaking a sweat.It is lightweight, concealable . Good for keeping a low profile.

It is also perfect for use in confined areas and vehicles. With the 50 round mags and a simple blowback system. One can lay down a high volume of accurate fire, very quickly. And if you have to walk and carry all your stuff with you. Weight is a big factor. The Big 308s are excellent if you are sheltering in place. If you have to be mobile a PS90 or a quality M4 carbine is hard to beat.

Just in case you find yourself surrounded by hostiles.

I saw one in a gunshow in Pa about a month ago. The guy wanted $450.00 for it.

The Beta-C mags are also heavy. with an M1a, optics. Beta-C and ammo... about 20 lbs. And it rattles when loaded.

SCAR,

Where do you get all these wonderful machines?!

(FWIW, anyone know where I'm paraphrasing from?)
