Nice setup you have there! Its gonna suck to carry all 4 and then ammo for all 4 though...

Is it wise to show your jewels with the meetings going on in Washington, remember,
"Do not give (or show) what is holy to the dogs; nor cast your pearls (or jewels) before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn and tear you in pieces."

Nice but I agree, heavy and 4 different types of ammo. I'd probably go with AR with .22 conversion. Or something like a Glock G17, paired with a Sub2k that share same mags and ammo.

Get a .22 pellet conversion for your AR. It takes up less weight and room than a .22 conversion and will still take a squirrel at close range pretty quietly. Add 20 rounds of birdshot pistol rounds and some snare wire and your set. The pistol and AR can cover the rolls of the shotgun if needed. Of course this is figuring that you are going it alone. I prefer lighter, quieter moving. Rucking several days of food, water, equipment, ammo, pistol and a rifle can get heavy when having to cover a lot of ground quickly..

Good input right there, never really thought about .22 for the AR. Might have to invest after all this surge buying ends

Full size 9mm with 2 mags (35 rounds Gold-Dot +P)
AR-15 with 4 mags of Federal Fusion
10 rounds of birdshot for 9mm which does decent groups at 15 feet but I don't know how lethal it is for small game.

Plus 3 days food, 4 liters of water, water purification, tarp, bivy cover/patrol bag, FLC, med kits, light, etc. Etc.
