Because hunting would be an important source of food in a hypothetical SHTF scenario, a SHTF rifle should be accurate and powerful enough to hunt and fight with. That rules out many "black guns"--.223 may lack the power for large game, especially at long distances--and assault rifles, which are not very accurate, but it includes almost any good hunting rifle. Those worried about capacity can buy aftermarket extended magazines.

Go back to /b/, nigger. Hogs and deer are easily taken with .223.
>>28063950
you don't need a fudd rifle, you need an idiot rifle for idiots like yourself.
>>28064001
This.
Buy a mosin, OP.
>>28063950
An after market extended magazine for a hunting rifle?
Can you give an example of this?
>>28063950
Go home, cancer.
>>28063950
Lurk more. But if you want something to hunt with go get a 12 gauge and use deer slug problem solved. I'm just going to go ahead and ignore the rest of the retardation in your post.
>>28063950
Shoot more and stop pretending like call of duty gives you an accurate representation of fire arms as a whole.
>>28063950
In a shtf situation you and every other asshole will hunt the game to extinction in months. Almost happened in the depression.

Or just get a M77 if you like your .308s with wood.

You seem to overestimate the distances most people hunt at. You would be hunting at a much closer range than you would be fighting, so needing a super accurate rifle isn't really neccecery, people drop large animals with an SKS all over the world.
I find 7.62x39 to be a perfect civilian SHTF round for a variety of reasons. The round performs well at realistic ranges regardless of barrel length, it is more than sufficient to kill large game, it has decent penetration by default, and recoil and ammo weight is more managable than full power rifle rounds. So a good AK, SKS or VZ makes a great SHTF survival gun, in my opinion at least.

Realistically the closest thing any of us in north America are gonna come to some sort of a collapse would be a natural disaster, in which case plan according to your locale, ie, full capacity semi automatic weapons if you are in an area where looting will break out if the cops stop patrolling for an hour, Or extreme cold weather equipment, heating equipment and non-perishables if you live in a very cold area where burst pipes after a power outage could leave you without water for a long time.

They can be taken, but not easily. Why risk losing the animal when a .308 or .270 will get the job done right every time?
>"assault rifles" aren't accurate
They're not. There's a reason snipers use bolt-action rifles (with the salient exception of the SVD). I've fired an AK before. The sight radius is far too short, and the action, although incredibly reliable, is clumsy at long ranges.

Is not a bad rifle after sporterizing.

Getting close enough to use a slug is fine for recreational hunting, but step on one dry twig, and the snap may scare the deer. Better to take them out from 100 yards
>>28064077
I know from personal experience that the joke about ARs jamming is no myth.
>>28064086
Just because it can be done doesn't make it prudent. When SHTF, being able to hunt at longer range is more than a luxury. It can mean the difference between meat and hunger. 7.62x39 is probably powerful enough, but the AK is not accurate enough beyond about 70 yards at the most.
>>28064086
I have a mini-30, you hear bad things, but I like it. I have a rail on top with a red dot, a bipod, and a barrel strut. And a leather old military sling.

It's like you want to be a law abiding citizen or something.

go back to call of duty faggot
>>28063950
7.62x39 is known to be good for deer hunting, 5.45 as well as it doesn't fragment as 5.56 does (7n6 especially). SKS's are considered decent hunting rifles as well as shtf rifles. If medium game hunting is a concern that'd be my personal recommendation, or an AK since their accuracy is actually quite similar and mounting optics is easier.
Any battle rifle would be ideal. .308 is a great round for medium to large game hunting, and the battle rifle aspects can pull the shtf duties. I wouldn't want a bolt action in an shtf scenario, despite it being lighter, cheaper, and a bit more accurate. The decreased capacity and follow up shot time doesn't quite cut it.
You're most likely to be hunting small game though, might want to consider a takedown .22 in your pack for dem rabbits n squirrels. Maybe a .22 revolver or target pistol of you can be accurate enough with it.

What do you think the S stands for?
>>28064176
>With the exception of the salient SVD
Then what are the SR-25, M21, M82A1, PSG-1, NTW-20, WA2000?
>>28064270
Not so salient exceptions. I believe the military term is "limited use weapons."

HAHA. HAHA.
Are these new American and serbshit AKs that bad? My saiga outshoots my buddies cheap AR that was actually more expensive.
>>28064176
Sight radius on an AK is literally identical to a standard length AR-15.

THIS, why wouldn't SVD be a sniper rifle?
The Dragunov sniper rifle (formal Russian: Cнaйпepcкaя Bинтoвкa cиcтeмы Дpaгyнoвa oбpaзцa 1963 гoдa Snayperskaya Vintovka sistem'y Dragunova obraz'tsa 1963 goda (SVD-63), officially "Sniper Rifle, System of Dragunov, Model of the Year 1963") is a semi-automatic sniper/designated marksman rifle chambered in 7.62×54mmR and developed in the Soviet Union.

pretty much this, if you dont have a family of ten why hunt large game in the first place?
