Best single gun for shtf

[MacTavish]

Marlin 336 35 rem. That 200 gr boolit will knock a meth head out of his shoes and bring down any animal you want to eat.

I agree, love those Marlins

Here's interesting video from WWII B-17 co-pilot from Ringgold Ga.
Tale of his last mission, bailout, capture, POW, and return home.
Does mention surrendering his EDC, I'd say bailing out in enemy
territory counts as SHTF. Least we forget.....

I really enjoyed listening to his story. Thanks for sharing that!

If I could only have one rifle it would be my 16" AeroPrecision "modern sporting rifle";-) in .223 Wylde, built it 3 years ago. If I could include a pistol as well it would be my Gen4 Glock 20.

I am thinking 12ga... If you can only have one firearm... Covers bird shot for hunting small game, buckshot for self defense, and slugs for when you want to hunt big stuff, punch big holes in things or reach out to 100 yards or so... Simple to operate, easy to clean...

If I could have a two gun combo... Probably a 10.5" AR braced pistol and either a Glock 17 or a Sig P226...
