SEE POST 21 FOR UPDATE
A buddy of mine is not as into firearms as myself, and only has a Rem 870 as of now and a few handguns. He wants to pick up another long gun to keep it company and looking for recs. He is not a serious shooter or hunter and just wants a general HD/SHTF/Plinker for all-around use and in case it gets a lot harder to buy firearms in the future.
I have been trying to sell him on a Ruger 10/22, but he doesn't really understand the cost/utility of one and sort of laughed off the caliber. He wants more power. I still think a 10/22 would be perfect
Given the above, if you already owned an 870 and wanted to buy another long gun, what would you recommend?
.22lr Rifle
Lever Gun (in 30-30/.357/.44mag etc.)
Bolt Action Rifle w/ Scope in (.308/.30-06/270 etc.)
AR15/AK47/Mini 14 Semi Auto Rifle in .223/5.56/.762
Thanks.
