Correction!
Why do you think so?
I was thinking my Robinson XCR, but then had nightmares about something falling off of it.
The rifle is super reliable in a controlled environment, but I'm not sure I'd want to take it into combat. Optics can fail, parts can come loose and run away... I don't think I'd need to worry about that with the Enfield. Better to have a ####ty rifle that works, then a fancy one that doesn't.
Long range- Sako TRG42 338 Lapua Nightforce NXS 8-32X56
Open field-SAI M1A Smith mount Leupold MK4 3.5-10X40 M3
Urban-Armalite 20" A4 Leupold MK4 1.5-5X20 MR/T M2 illuminated with Troy back up irons
close up- Beretta 1201 FP
Accompanied by Mr Colt 1911 45 auto
Of course plenty O ammo makes sense.
Guns are like motorcycles. You have to have choices. You have to evaluate your need.

Yes good choice. Greatest gun regret is selling my TRW. If I had to pick only one it would be the M1A. I don't know why everyone thinks they need such a short barrel on a battle rifle. Carbines are not my thing. I didn't like my 11" AR.

Maybe it is time to buy an AR....an AR that works! I am sure not what kind of Combat you are thinking, but if you are thinking about zombies, a shield and a gladius probably work better than a bayonet on a steel pipe!
If you thinking about beating the crap out of your rifle, maybe you should beat the crap out of a shovel instead of a firearm.

rossi 1892 lever action in 454 casull /45 colt / 45 scofield .
nothing fancy just plain open sights and a big heavy bullet that can blow through multiple zombie heads , or just remove their knee caps in one shot .

Maybe a De Lisle and then whatever I pulled off the freshly rotting corpse in front of me...
...
My Sarac plus a tripod and tripod optics
(now all i have to do is hurry up with getting some cash and buy that tripod and the optics)!I assumed ammo drums+belts would not count as accessories due to them being necessities.
I don't plan on being too mobile, will dig in and hold the fort if ever the need be

That does NOT meet my definition of "super reliable".

Ah, Old Painless. Definitely a classic.
My M14 because I can mount a bayonet and actually use the stock to beat heads with rather than those plastic rifles when I run out of ammo
Same reason I picked my Lee Enfield... Except I trust my Enfield to work(!)
Agreed. My MR223 is far from fragile....

You guys can have fun in the city with tactical webbing all over each other, aimpoints, acogs, if the world truly ended as we know it... I'm going into the bush with a hunting rifle and a shotgun. We're Canadian, there isn't a place in this country without good bush more than 100 clicks away. I know there's a good few hunters in this thread, they'd be the ones who'd get through it just fine. Urban commando-ists, not so much... self correcting problem, as they say.
