The sound of a rifle just attracts them. I’d get a machete or a shovel/hoe or maybe a big rock. Go for the head only.......

Choose the round first, then feel the gun to see if it fits you. You’ll know.

Buy and AK74 and an AK 47 and two thousand rounds for each. You should have money left over and a good start to an arsenal..

Lots of ammo.

Most people do not have enough.

You already have a well rounded gun collection.

If you insist on a gun an AR is the obvious choice. You can pick up a very nice used one for around $600 these days. That would leave you enough money for a few thousand rounds of XM193 ammo.

But seriously stock up on ammo first. Without ammo your guns are worthless in a “zombie” scenario.

308 is a nice caliber, although you listed the AK as a possible rifle, however it isn’t 7.62 NATO (308 win). Other things to consider is 308 ammo is bulky and heavy in comparison to 5.56 (223 rem). I have a m1a myself.

How much you want to spend on ammo?

What range are you shooting at. A 308 is good for distance if you practice. If you are 400 yards or less I would go with a 300 aac(blackout). It is a heavy round with good knock down power closer in. It also is the same ar set up as a 223/5.56. The only difference is the barrel.

I already have my old trusty:

The .45 ACP cartridge is already subsonic.

You know the options. What I would recommend would either be a ChiCom SKS or a Eastern European MAK-47. 7.62.x39 ammo is not as powerful as NATO 7.52, but it is potent nonetheless. Rather than spending all that money on the rifle, I would buy the MAK or SKS and then spend the rest on ammo. Ammo in the sealed cans keeps just about forever. Ammo is what you really need for your semi, when push comes to shove. Invest in ammo.

It feels like you are shooting an AR15 only louder.

If you like .308, try an AR-10. You can find a decent one for about 1k.

308 is overkill for soft targets like that. A reliable piston AR will do fine. Light, fast, heavily customizable.
