Choosing 4 rifles for exfil

[Gingerbeardman]

So I was thinking if I need to become mobile swiftly in an emergency I didn't have an easy way to transport long guns. I did some research and found a nice case that can hold 4 scoped long guns in padding, with wheels and it's lockable. So that lead to, which 4 would I take? THAT lead to, in an emergency event, would I take an ar10 AND an ar15? I have a bolt gun to accompany either. So, if you were forced to choose, would you take .223 or .308? For weight and scrounging ammo, I'd say .223. For maximum effect and range I'd say .308. I'd also take a scoped .22.

Decked truck bed system has gun rack inserts for their drawers. They hold 3.
I have an AR in 762x39, an AK, and nothing in the third spot. During deer season I'll throw the deer rifle I'm using that year in the open spot.

If I had to put three rifles to last an indefinite period of time I'd probably go with:

Supressed 10/22, 3-9 scope

AR in 762x39

AR in 6.5G

Both AR have quick detach supressor mounts

I'd put as many mags and ammo as I could fit around the rifles in the drawer.

Am I the only one that saw the thread title and wondered why Gingerbeardman would be getting 4 rifles for his ex father-in-law?

I think I'd take heavier 223, 69grain and higher. maybe a .22 but the rest would all be the same caliber

Tikka .243 with thermal scope and extra batteries, 200 or so extra rounds. AR15 with LPVO and 10 mags, all the spare ammo that will fit.. Kidd 10/22, threaded and suppressed, extra ammo and magazines, 4-12 scope. 12 GA semi auto or pump with slugs and buckshot.

 

[snapping turtle]

45/70 lever ,, 12 gauge pump,, 22 auto,,,,and ar15. And a fishing pole.

Kills anything edable from fin to feather to bear in the United States. Plus security in the AR.

 

[Gingerbeardman]

I debated on the 12 gauge and decided to leave it at home, but my view was more defensive based and not food/hunting. For most reasonably accessible game I feel like a .308 bolt gun would work.

I guess I would rephrase my original question as such: does anyone see a reason to bring both an ar10 and an AR-15, or just one, and if one, which, and why?

Choosing 4 rifles..... I'm not sure I'd take that many to be honest. I have 4 bolt action rifles that I could take a deer with at 600 or 700 yards max which is about the limit I'd take for a hunting shot, so one of those goes in the vehicle for sure. Next choice would be a fighting rifle or two (wife gets one) which to me is something mag fed with lots of mags and ammo. Fourth gun would probably be my TPS M6 Scout 22lr/410 combo. With a 22 short that rifle is super quiet, and with a 410 shot shell I can and have taken any small game I want.
