In a SHTF situation what would be some good rifles to have? Should there be a grid down scenario what do you think would be your best choice to defend yourself from warriors such as pic related?

Something that shoots bullets, preferably.

OP's pic reminds me of dark Souls for some reason.

Anyway OP, something that fires .223 is nice for small game but you'll want something that can take down a full-grown deer.

rifles with common parts and ammunition availability in your area, perhaps you can ask the ATF to provide you with the data on how many weapons of a certain type are in your area, I'm sure they would just tell you about their secret lists of gun owners

AK-104

If you live in the US, it's an easy choice.

Would 7.62X39 be a good choice? Isn't as popular so less Bubbas to gobble it up and it's large enough to take deer I think.

>Would 7.62X39 be a good choice?
Of course. It is an excellent and serviceable round. There are many great platforms that shoot it too. Anything in 5.56x45, 5.45x39, 7.62x51, or 7.62x39 will work just fine and there's tons of ammo out there.

my mate suggested me a ruger mini 30

not sure what /k/'s opinion is

>>34169304
You could easily opt for a gay-r-15 which would be my choice, but really anything that's reliable, magazine fed, and has a flashlight will be good.

now that looks like a level 99 tank and what you need to tackle one of those bad boys is a shoulder mounted Schwerer Gustav. Should do the trick

The helmet on the lower left corner would do more harm than good in a serious fight.

>>34169525
They got a lot of flack because older ones couldn't handle steel cased for shit, but I think the new ones were better. Mostly because why the hell would you want to pay for brass 7.62x39

The mini-14 gets shit because muh magazines, muh bill ruger awb shill, muh non-AR

Personally I think they are sweet, look nice, and enjoy shooting my brothers mini14. He had had no issues with it, his even loves the plastic mags everyone shits on.

They are also good because they don't have the scurry salt-riful look to them

.308 ruger scout rifle

>when you only need one rifle
>>
>>34169489
5.56 is enough for deer also. That being said if SHTF id wanna have both an AR and AKM laying around. wouldn't carry both at once or anything mall ninja like that but having the other hidden in your house or vehicle would be nice. TBQH if i was headed somewhere where distance wasn't a likely issue or i was gonna spend a lot of time in/around vehicles id probably be more liable to carry the AKM than the AR. 7.62x39 does a bit better job of punching through light cover than 5.56 and can be folded up for concealment or inna vehicle use to boot. When you talk about long range maybe a bolt gun or semi auto .308 makes the most sense. AR might very well be my backup rifle due to sheer popularity.

>putting a $400 scope on a $500 rifle
Get some more ammo and a PA AMD for $170, its gonna serve a lot better than that scope is on a fixed front sight AR

Easy to take apart and clean

Trigger is already full-auto

I'd say I'm pretty well set up. The thing people don't talk about with AR vs AK is parts longevity, AKs undeniably need less part swaps and almost never have anything break if you get a well made one until even nice ARs where springs and bolts inevitably wear out and break.

Beretta 92 is also a sturdy as fuck handgun that will feed literally everything, I'd trust it through the end times

I mean, if AKs and ARs from different manufacturers variously succeeding and failing 5,000 round torture tests, aren't you just splitting hairs? Either platform will last a long fucking time if it's built right.

No. I picked one up at the fun store and immediately hated the ergos. Hence, gross.

What does education have to do with rifles?
>>
>>34169792
Not him but could you clarify what you mean by "all the ars" and "issues".

Kinda curious what parts in an AR need swapping out so much more frequently than comparable AK parts.

Not him, but "uneducated" is kind of a weird insult when you're talking about firearms. It's not math. People with four college degrees don't know anything about firearms.

ARs do? I'm not really following.

>AKs undeniably need less part swaps and almost never have anything break if you get a well made one until even nice ARs where springs and bolts inevitably wear out and break
I see this argument a lot. Can somebody offer some relatively hard data that demonstrates this? I'm not saying I don't believe it. I'm just saying, you know, people lie to justify their purchases sometimes.

.223/5.56 is too small for some big game, get a .308 or .30-06
