If you had to pick one of these? Ruger1022,Savage Stevens .308, or Maverick88 12ga??
Need some help deciding on my first rifle purchase. I think of shtf scenerios, home defense, and hunting. Currently working with about $400 and have done lots of reasearch on what I want and these are the three options I am looking at.
.308 option: Savage-Stevens 200 .308 around $320
.22lr option: Ruger 10/22 Talo tactical rifle around $300
12 ga option: Maverick 88 8shot around $200
I want something that will be affordable, reliable and useful in any situation. Even though I really want the stevens .308 for big game right now I am leaning towards the ruger 10/22 since its lighter and would be able to take down most game I would encounter in the urban environment I currently reside. Plus the .22 is semiauto and has a high capacity mag where the .308 at MY current price range is bolt action and 4 round mag.
Then there is the 12 ga that is simple and $100 less.
I already own a .40 s&w as my side arm.
Also if there is another reccomendation in my price range that would suite me better Im open to suggestions.
Any insight would be greatly apprecaited.
