The end of the world SHTF battle rifle?

Alright ladies!!!

Lockdown!!

Too broad. An invasion scenario would require a different weapon than a killer virus that reduces civilization to the stone age.

FYI...

Any thread mentioning "SHTF" "TEOTWAWKI" "Zombies" ETC. will not last long here.

If you want to know about battle rifles that's great. I like the M14, but that is just personal.

remington 700 (used as a sniper rifle)

The answer you're looking for is M1A.

Sorry to have one of your first threads locked up. You should read the rule threads above.

SHTF, TEOTWAWKI, etc. threads are expressly off-topic.

If you want advice on a choice of rifle, figure out what characteristics are important to you and maybe ask about those specific features. Or, perhaps do a search to see if your query has been recently discussed here.
