Thanks again everyone. I guess a semi auto pistol and pump action it
is. My revised list-

Pump Action 12 guage
Semi auto pistol (1911 or glock)
Bolt action 30-06
.22 semi auto



Id still go with a 308


So just to clarify, the main drawback of a semi auto is it doesn't fire
handloads as reliably?


No..it shoots good reloads quite reliably

Actually for the price you can't beat a M-1 Garand sold though DCM for
around $500. I've seen metal clips at $.50 each. The M-1 will reliably
fire 8 rounds as fast as you can pull the trigger. Even though it is
hard to mount a telescopic sight on, the iron sights are probably the
best around and a reasonable marksman should be able to hit a man sized
target at 250 meters.


I suggest 308..as military surplus is very easy to find, cheaply..and
frankly after the ballon goes up.;...308 from miltary stores will be
far easier to aquire than 3006
