I’d say that it might work the first few times maybe, when people see thats its others just like them that are being raped by govt mandated thugs then this country will turn into a free-fire zone and its open season on brownshirts with no size restrictions or bag limits. The spirit of George Washington still lives in a good portion of the 80 million gun owners in this country.

I love my Saiga. I think it would take down Zombies.

And Gunsamerica.com has some saiga 12’s, same model, cheaper.

Every household should have three firearms at MINIMUM. A pistol, a rifle, and a shotgun. This is NOT optional.

You need a rifle of some kind.

I concur, 100%. Even a lever-action will do, if one has an aversion to the "black" rifles.

What’s a good scope for the ar15?

I like this one a lot....

There's an extensive thread on this scope over at arfcom, if you'd like to know more.

Dillon Aero has some lovely pieces.

Depends on what you want to use it for. Plinking or home defense or SHTF.
For plinking, I would recommend a .22 (ammo is cheap and plentiful) or something like an AR variant in 5.56. or a lower cost AK47 in 7.62 x 39. nAmmo is getting less expensive on line.
ARs should be down to $700 and you can get a reliable shooting AK for $5-600 barring any sort of ban talk from Holder.

Home defense is always a shotgun. Take a look at what you want to spend and see what you can afford and how much ammo costs in your area.

SHTF is another story. I would keep a rifle capable of longrange targeting chambered in a popular form of ammo. a newer, HBAR variant of an AR15 in 5.56 or maybe something in a 30.06 or 308 like an M1A or M14. They will cost about $1000 and up depending on quality.

No matter what anyone says about platforms and calibers, a weapon is useless if you can't get ammo.

If you want a rifle that's affordable, is proclaimed by many as one of the most accurate out of the box, can be found at almost any decent gun shop, is deadly against any deer/game/mammon you hit with it...

I humbly suggest a Remington model 700 SPS in .308 cal.

[ffusco]

Yes,2 tone, but not stainless!

I’m still looking and checking. Kinda of want a long rifle with a magazine instead of bolt action, and a nice scope on it for a sure shot long shot. Thinking about the Remington 870 as the shotgun choice.

[b4its2late]

Just got a new shotgun. Remington Model 870 Tactical Desert Recon 12 Gauge 20”, Olive Drab Powder Coat Finish, Speedfeed IV Pistol Grip Stock, Desert Camo Finish

[MileHi]

Nice!

Look at Savage rifles. Inexpensive and accurate. Best out-of-the-box rifle out there. Don’t by the “combo”, put a good scope on it. Choose .308 for availability.

[b4its2late]

I will look. That will be my next purchase I think. Thanks for the advice.

[M Kehoe]

Good morning.

Good choice. Did it come with the different chokes? My Wingmaster has served me well.

5.56mm

[b4its2late]

Ended up getting a 25-06. Ammo easier to get than a 30-06. Sorry it took me so long to reply. LOL
