As for me I purchsed a pump action shot gun, 250 rounds of 00 buck and a AK74 (Yes AK74 not a typo) and 2160 rounds of 5.45 for around $1000.00. Seems like cheap enough insurance to me that I won’t be the ‘slowest one running from the bear’.

In a survival scenario, to my way of thinking, unless one is an accomplished (old-style, sans power tools) gunsmith, one would be better served with a double-12 with a selection of loads (00, deer slugs, #4 and #7 shot), a revolver (an old Police Issue 38 Special, in my case - simple and reliable-durable), a bolt-action 22, and a bolt-action deer rifle (.270 or .30 cal - I’m still looking for one that I like)
