If you had one rifle to choose from what would you pick and why?

[VERT]

Funny you say that, I had original had a spot for ".22 LR: Ruger 10/22. Marlin Mod. 60 or other 22 platform". I felt there really is no wrong answer just preference for what one would grab... I think I talked myself out of adding it for I figured that not enough folks would fall back on a 22 platform, even though it is a very universal & dependable caliber choice.

Silly as it might sound this is the .22 I would carry. No mags to lose and does not take up much space.

My AR-15 due to versatility and ability to swap out optics on the fly (CQB, long range accuracy, and everything in between).

 

[Colts]

Whatever you have the most ammo for?

 

[GlockRiver]

Tavor. Sweet looking, ergonomic, battle proven... and because it was damn expensive.

 

[churchmouse]

H&K G3
I would go with this as I have one in the safe. It is dead on iron sights at 100 yds, wind effects it less at those distances, it will kill a car and I have lots of ammo for it.

 

[Bunnykid68]

10/22. I can carry 10 times as much ammo as you at least.

 

[walleyepw]

I would choose my Remington 512 scoremaster (22LR). Can take small game. Light, accurate, reliable. Can carry 50 rounds in my hand.

 

[churchmouse]

10/22. I can carry 10 times as much ammo as you at least.

But Bunny, I can kill a car....really..........

 

[Yamadog35]

Tavor. Sweet looking, ergonomic, battle proven... and because it was damn expensive.

I would also say the Tavor once I get more time on mine to judge long term reliability and accumulate a good set of spare parts. Compact, easy to carry, can pick up and use most any AR mag and ammo.
For now I voted AK.

 

[bloodandgutsmurphy]

I would choose the AK-74 because the surplus ammo is cheaper to shoot than most other center fire calibers and the platform is known for its reliability. When the surplus ammo does run dry I will still be able to locate newly made ammo for a good price.
They are fun to shoot, easy to break down and clean, and look pretty to me.

 

[gun_nut]

Ar-10

It's what I shoot best

Have to hit it first and you have hundreds of those damn pesky 40 gr 22's flying at ya

 

[downlinx]

Sorry, I would have to go with 10/22.
Accurate
Carry lots of ammo
Reliability

But with a scoped G3 or FAL opposed, you'd have to get close enough first. And find something suitable to hide behind. - car doors and wooden walls aren't going to cut it.

 

[horsehaulin]

The blue helmets will likely be supplied by our own government, meaning there will be surplus ammo on the ground after a helmet hits the ground. AR15 is my choice but I will bring my dead nuts on M&P 40 along too.

 

[wrnyhuise]

I voted Rem 700. Main reason is while i am great shot with an AR i would much prefer have a rifle with longer range than an AR.

 

[vedearduff]

It depends upon whether my AO is urban or rural. If urban, I'll take my AR. Rural, one of my 30-06 bolt action rifles.

I voted "Other" because of the AO consideration.

 

[alan robert]

All good choices. I would make do with what I have in my hands at the time, and if it quits for whatever reason, find something else.

There are millions of firearms in this country. lol Should not be a problem to find one along the way.

I have owned and do own most of the choices mentioned. Short answer, custom AK (folding stock) is my go to for now.

 

[theblackhat]

My .50 T/C would be my go-to. When it all hits the fan, blackpowder can still be made and rounds melted and molded. Kinda hard to find/manufacture .223s or .45 or .22s or most any standard rounds without reload equipment and supplies.

 

[OneBadV8]

I'll say an AR due to the ease of changing calibers. I could have multiple uppers in different calibers and just swamp em out.
