I have a question
While I am not really a prepper, I do have probably 25k rounds on hand and the components to make at least that many more on progressive and single stage presses. And I have dozens of rifles, shotguns, pistols.
So why would I want to buy a cheap rifle for a situation where I need it to save my life? Wouldn't a SHTF gun want to be top notch, reliable, accurate, and easy to tote? I mean, if I trekked off and could only take one with me, it wouldn't be the shotout MIL-SURP gun feeding similar low quality ammo.
it would be something like my custom .308 VEPR AK that has 1.5 min accuracy, eats any ammo i feed it, has a commie PK-A Venezuela red-dot ($400 just for my optic, gun was $1k) but co-witnesses in the lower 1/3 with iron sights! And the ammo would be my hand loaded 10k rounds of .308 in lake city brass.
