    What gun would you want if the SHTF?

    Even a moderated 223 is very hard to pinpoint. Muzzle blast is about zero, only the sonic crack is left as the signature, which makes the sound seem to come from the wrong direction, not to mention the echoes from trees in winter etc. Moderated 22lr is the closest thing to the movie magic...

    Do you prefer a hunting rifle with a detachable mag?

    Only 90 rds?? Great post and perspective roaddog! I really like the convenience, especially when my fingers are wet/cold. Bad weather follows me around every season. Easier to manipulate a mag than individual rounds. I'm still serious about the zombies, however.........

    What gun would you want if the SHTF?

    270 Gun Choice (Brand)

    I have fired friends' Tikka T3s extensively in 223, 6.5x55, and 308. They are all sub moa with decent ammo. Another friend has won a practical match with an A-bolt in 6.5. We test them at 300 yards mostly, prone, with harris "s" bipods. Hard to beat such accurate practical rifles for such little...
