Suggestions for a good bug out rifle. What have you chosen and why?

Where are you getting that from?

"Colt M4A1 SOPMOD Special operations forces can personalize their fully automatic M4A1s with a broad range of SOPMOD accessories.

Few weapons provide today's special "operators" with the tactical flexibility offered by the M16/M4 series' Special Operations Peculiar Modification (SOPMOD) hardware. Under the coordination of the SOPMOD Program Management Office at the Naval Surface Warfare Center in Crane, Ind., the SOPMOD is a kit concept designed to provide standardized, versatile weapons accessories to meet needs across special operations mission scenarios. Individual accessories are selected for the SOPMOD kit based on their contribution toward increasing operator survivability and lethality by enhanced weapon performance, target acquisition, signature suppression and fire control.The SOPMOD concept is based around the M4A1, the special operations variant of the Colt 5.56 x 45mm M4 Carbine, a versatile weapons system with a sliding buttstock and 14.5-in. barrel (the special operations A1 version is capable of fully automatic fire). When equipped with multiple accessory-mounting surfaces, the M4A1 SOPMOD allows the special operator to tailor his weapon to specific mission requirements."

There are a couple of HKs, but the vast majority are M4, SCAR and M14 variants. So yeah, I'll bet my life on it.
Those are Glorious!!!!!!!!!! By the way I've never owned a glock (hope to one day,just cause) and personally shoot up as much 762x39 ammo as i do 556 just not thru an AK , haven't found the right one at the right time yet. PEACE Brethren

Why even consider the 7.62x39 now that there is 300 BK?
 
That's what I covered in the opener to the thread. A get me there, not once I'm there.
Sorry, missed that. So then ammo weight becomes paramount. What happens when the highway is clogged with cars and you need to go on foot? Or you need to abandon your vehicle for some other reason. How much ammo can you realistically carry on your person to get to where you're going?

You are really down to 22 caliber then. 22LR or 223. Possibly 300BO.
How far do you need to go? Can you stay off the main roads where other people maybe? If you need to use your bug-out rifle how important will your acoustic signature be to you? If that last question is important than suppressed 22 or 300 will be the way to go.

Once you figure that stuff out it will be much easier to pick out the rifle.
 
pump action 22. one cci sleeve each: quiet, standard velocity, high velocity. threaded barrel (in case you happen into a can). 9 shot revolver in 22. can always be used to get another weapon.
I gave my H&R 9 shot to my father for his birthday (he admired it a lot) Haven't run across another in good condition yet.
