Hi all....first post! I've found this website to be extremely helpful ever since I got my first firearm a few years ago...so thanks to you all!
My situation: I've been preparing for SHTF for a couple years now and feel like we are getting close to that time for various reasons. I currently have a .40acp, 9mm, 12ga pump, and .22 long rifle with 30 round mags. I figure I'm pretty well rounded for a variety of scenarios, but think I need to add a high-powered rifle to be complete.
So, what would you purchase? AR, AK, or hunting rifle with option for high capacity mag? Considering ammo and rifles are becoming more expensive and less available because of the Comrade, which round would you think best?
I was at Dick's yesterday and they were completely out of 9mm and .22 long nose brass was $20/525 rounds! I went to my dealer up the road and he was completely out of 7.62 and he said people were driving from 2 hours away to buy .380 from him (I'm not sure why that round was so unavailable though). I had been hearing things like this online, but never saw it with my own eyes.
I really wanted the Sig 556, but he said there is over a year wait on production! Prices are going up up up too on all AR's. People are taking a ban seriously and the threat of civil unrest is quite plausible.
At any rate, what say you? What would you buy in my situation?
Thanks fellow patriots!
