End of the world scenario. Zombies or otherwise doesn't really matter. You have enough high end guns for you and your closest friends. But some other people will surely come along. Pretend these other people will be loyal to your cause. Distant friends, extended family, whatever.... You have a $1,500-$2000 budget to arm these people. If you buy a rifle you will find someone to fire it. My buddy and I were debating between SKS and the AK47. Basically the debate was "would you rather have 10 people with SKS's or 5 w/ AK's?" Then we started debating prices and stuff and if a 2:1 ratio is indicative of current market prices. So now I'm here to see what the good people of THR can come up with.
Here are some price comparisons:
SKS
http://www.shooterssupplyco.com/SKS PAGE.htm
Excel.Cond PRICE $159.00 Never Issued condition Price $ 249.00
AK47
http://www.shooterssupplyco.com/AK 47 PAGE.htm
Excel.Cond PRICE $469.00 ea. Never Issued condition ????
You are not limited to this store of course. If you can find a store that sells the gun at a certain price (that's available to all THR members) then you can base your decision off of that price. The guns can even be kits and you assemble them yourself. You are simply limited on the amount of money you can spend on the rifles. The budget is $2,000. A second question is if you are limited to a $1,500 budget would that change your choice of rifle at all?
EDIT: Budget if for arms only. If you really want to discuss ammo go ahead and slap $750 on the budget for a total of $2,750 to spend as you please. You already own reloading/swagging equipment. When preparing for the apocalypse what gun owner wouldn't have reloading equipment?
