My only comment is that it's hard to beat the "acceptable" accuracy and legendary reliabilty of the 7.62x39 AK47.
That's my wife's 'just in case' gun because it scares most uninitiated on sight, and is still an excellent close range Deer gun. If she never cleans it, it isn't going to care at all.

I recently acquired an SKS. One reason being that 7.63x39 is pretty easy to find.
My other rifles are No.4 Mk.1 Enfield and an 8mm Mauser. I do have a .22 Marlin bolt-action that I have had since the late 1980s.
