Just for argument's sake, let's hear some nominations and ideally see some pics of which completely civilian rifle you would choose as a battle rifle if circumstances or legislation kept true battle rifles out of reach.
No milsurp anything, nor any civilianized military rifles like a Saiga, no folding stocks or high cap magazines, not even Mini-14s, nothing which is legislated as an evil assault weapon in the gun-unfriendly states, just the ordinary "inoffensive" hunting or plinking rifle that would be a good substitute if SHTF.
Since it's my thread I get to start, and my likely suspects are a Marlin 1894 in .357 Magnum for urban use and a Browning BAR Lightweight Stalker in .243 or .308 Winchester for the great outdoors. If I had to go with just one rifle, then a Marlin 336 in .30-30 Winchester.
Other nominees?
