I use a bolt-action .308 most of the time for deer and bear, but I'll be damned if I am going to try to go after a hog or 'yote with a bolt gun. I don't disagree on home defense. I have a Remington 870 and a Glock 17 as my "bump in the night" gear, but I also have an AR that absolutely has its place.

I am a firm believer that if you are willing to own firearms, you should own at least five for a shit-hits-the-fan situation. These five are: a solid semi-automatic .22 LR (such as a Ruger 10/22) for practice and small game; a 12 ga. pump action shotgun (semi-auto shotguns require more maintenance if you are thinking of a SHTF setup); a polymer-frame common caliber pistol such as a Glock 17/19 (the availability of spare parts and 9mm ammunition is insane); a solid medium-to-long range bolt action rifle (many options out there in many calibers, I would go with .308 for previously mentions reasons, but that's me); and an AR platform rifle with a 16" barrel. All of these are geared towards the ability to repair them, customize them, find ammunition, etc. You can train with all five of these for relatively low costs and therefore be very comfortable with them.

But this is just my thinking when it comes to society breaking down. With those five you can protect and feed yourself and your family.

12 ga. Would work great in a zombie apocalypse too.
