[QUOTE="FrogFire7, post: 2158047, member: 101482"] Well... for me it is a toss up between one of my long range guns and a more combat oriented gun. I have an 8lb fast twist .22-250 that is scary accurate. And capable of reasonable long(ish) shots. Can easily go 800 yards. So that's a thought. Realistically for the scenario given, I'd probably take my AR9 "pistol". It has a brace so accurate shooting isn't difficult. Has a vortex prism red dot scope with etched reticle (meaning it operates even if the battery is dead). It has a 5" barrel and takes glock mags, and I have a pretty healthy assortment of 31 round stick mags for it. My thinking when building it was that ballistically it's probably more effective than a 5" 223, maybe even than blackout but I honestly have not run numbers. It's short, not too heavy, high capacity, easy to single point sling. The ammo also doesn't take up much space, AND is compatible with the sig 320 that would be on my hip or strapped to my pack, and also feeds my wife's 92FS. Honorable mention (and disqualified for not following rules of the game) is the ruger charger. 22lr with folding brace. [/QUOTE]
