    IMO a SHTF scenario requires either a 556 or 308 rifle. There is far more ammo for those two calibers than any other options, how many people do you know buying 1000rd cases of 30-06?

    .45-70, because it's the only "government" I'd ever trust.
    It'll take bush chickens with .457 round balls over 8 grains of Trail Boss, all the way up to head shotting a T-Rex via its arse with 500+ grain hard cast suppositories.

You may want to think this through a little more.
    Your reply isn't helpful at all. I didn't hear any mention of a good gun/calibre to get.

    All you did was make yourself sound like a total dink.
