I have $700 to spend on a gun for the end of the world .What should I get?

You can get a decent AR 15 or AK 47 for that price.

You want a rifle......

Pistols suck for killing in comparison.

Mini 14 is ok I guess. They are reliable....just make sure you use the right ammo.

Marines use the MK318 SOST....and you can buy it.

Goes great with small portable houses but watch the weather.

I would go to your local ATF office and ask for advice such as this.

"What would you buy if the US government declared martial law and you wanted to fulfill your oath to protect the Constitution?"

Is it "pinpoint" from a bench rest at a shooting range or pinpoint after running a couple hundred yards at full speed (to simulate stress under fire)?
I'd want something with more stopping power, does that $700 include ammo, or is that just for the weapon? There are quite a few handgun caliber carbines (kel tec sub 2000, hi point, Baretta,) with great stopping power, affordable ammo, and that substantially extend your range for under $400, then you can put a decent optic on it and have enough left over for a few hundred rounds of ammo. I have a kel tec sub in 40 cal S&w and it uses Glock magazines and is extremely accurate out to 100 yards with open sights. That's my 2 cents.

300.00 Shotgun
400.00 Shells, Bird through slug

$700?

I would have to suggest a rifle, an SKS.
You CAN also buy a WASR, however, I'd rather have a good SKS than an OK AK.

Get one that you would find easy to use on yourself.

A good bow and arrow.

Don't think you could go wrong with the mini 14. Durable, accurate, .223 readily available and tons of add-on/upgrades as budget allows.

Remington 870 home defense model with extended magazine tube

$350

Spend the rest on 00 buckshot

Buy used, private seller, you will be able to get more gun for less money if you shop around.

Get the Mini-14 if that is what you want. Then save up for training, you do not know how to shoot if you are asking basic questions like "what gun to get".

Guns are the tool, without training, you would be better off spending the money on food and medical supplies. What is coming is not going to be over any time soon, and getting into gun battles is not going to be a good survival plan.

Better decide fast and get the ammo first. Guns can be bought - no problem - but ammo shortgages have already occurred and the ammo will be gone after the upcoming big event.

A Mini-14 would be my choice with at least 1K rounds. It is accurate to 100-200 yards depending on the model. But it is not a deer hunting rifle of course. You don't need to worry about zombies over 100 yards away.

something in 223..battleground rounds

Any AK varient, durable and simple to use.

SKS magazines suck though. Still not as durable has the AK.

AK cost a little more though.

Literally the most insane thing I have ever read in my entire life, and most likely will ever read. I cannot get over how insane some people truly are. Especially when they write something that is as likely to happen as man eating dandelions taking over the planet. Seriously, lay off the crack because your paranoia is taking you over.

7.62 is pretty popular also.

I would think he was joking, I hope.

sarcasm is hates ugly cousin...lol

I would reccomend any firearm this is considered common. Bullets much
Easier to run across in a shtf situation. .22s, 9mm, 12guage shotguns, etc. are much mote common than other calibers. personally I have 3 shotguns, a 12 guage auto, a 12 guage single shot for accuracy, and a short bolt action 16 guage for close range. I also have a 7.62x54 bolt action rifle for shots over 100 yards as well as two pistols, an 8 shot 22 revolver and a 380 auto that can fit in my pocket. I try to keep at least a hundred rounds for each gun in stock, and plan to increase that stockpile closer to the end of this year. Whatever gun you decide on, just coose something you are comfy with and can operate easily in a tight spot.

sounds like your short on money for ammo. the bad guys will be using 223/556. so that may be the most readily available ammo. just a thought.

As people age they need optics. Pretty hard to mount them on an AK without expensive modification. But if your young, an AK might be the way to go..

There's not one army out there who uses 22lr. Should tell you something.

Bolt action is good for long range sniping but for close up your dead...

Lots to consider.....

I've heard 500 rounds per gun in case of an emergency situation but the question is are you wasting your money, if martial law comes and the law is give up your guns or your going to prison and your kids will be taken away for endangering them..will you give them up or not..because sooner or later we are headed toward that senerio

You can get a side mount for like 50 bucks for any scope.

You could probably carry thousands of .22 rounds if you have even a little muscle.

.223 and 7.62 would be the most common riffle round most likely. Then maybe .308 all speculation.

Hell, shoot for a thousands rds each.

Buy the Smith & Wesson M&P 15 Sport. At $650.00 you really can't find a better budget AR-15.

Actually I meant more like $30, just on who you get it from.

Like any AR, buy lots of cleaning supplys and have the time to spend cleaning it.

If you can then thats great.

nothin says hate
like a .308

but then at a dollar a shell how much hate can ya have
