Ruger MK II -.22lr ($250) I have had the one my dad went halves with me on for 27 yrs. I would get a Marlin mod 60 ($150)for a matching combo to bring us up to the $400 mark Then use the remaining $600 on a really good shotgun or CMP Garand.
Used Glock 17 - $400
Walmart special Savage 10 .243 with cheap Bushnell scope - $375
That leaves $225 for belt, holster, sling, and cleaning supplies, but don't forget to factor in ammo and a better scope and rings down the line.
My choice would be a Stainless Steel Ruger GP100 with a 4" barrel. Durable, relaible, and flexible.
To keep the price tag under $1000, my choice for a rifle would actually be a shot gun. Shot guns are about a versatile of a gun as you can ask for. Under $400, I would go with a Remington 870 or an 887. Durable, reliable, and flexible.
M1 Garand with McCann gas nuts ~$650 total with rifle from CMP and nuts from Brownells
S&W Model 10 or 64 ~$290 shipped and with ffl transfer from J&G Sales in AZ

.357 Magnum Revolver with a 4" barrel (probably the Taurus Tracker I currently own) and a Marlin 1894C .357 Magnum levergun. Although I never expect a true SHTF situation, having the same ammo requirements for both guns would be an advantage.
+1 35Rem . . . but I would suggest Marlin 336 in .30-30 and a S&W Model 66. . . I've got many more and generally carry a P239 Sig, but for all around utility/hunting/shooting you are hard pressed to beat a .38 revolver and a 30-30 rifle.
yeah about 60% of the posts are wwwwwaaaayyyyy over 1000 bucks for a pair of guns more often than not it wouldnt even take care of one of the guns. dont know what he is into but id pick a glock 19 or 23 and a ak variant (5.45 would be good as he could practice with it more often or 7.62x39 variants for those who want the POOOWWWEEERRR).
My Glock 21 which I paid around $485 for, then it'd have to be my SLR-95 which I paid $389 for back in 2000. Now it'd be much more expensive. But this'd be under the $1,000 mark.
If I had to buy new today for under $1,000, it'd still be a Glock 21, but for a rifle I'd look hard at a Remington 7600 carbine in .30-06 which run around $550, it'd be close to the $1,000 mark if not slightly over. A runner up for the pistol would be a Glock 23 and the rifle would be an SKS.
Try for a Norinco SKS, btw. The Yugos weigh a ton and don't have the Norinco's chrome bore. One thing, though, a .22 keeps one from starving. Small game is a way more more reliable food source than larger game.
