I'm a gun newbie, and I'm slowly trying to built my collection of essentials in case -CENSORED--CENSORED--CENSORED--CENSORED- hits the fan in the near future. So far, I only have a Glock 26, Mossberg 500 shotgun, S&W .357 mag, Ruger SP101 in my truck and a Taurus 85 UltraLite for my wife's truck. My question is this:
If you had to pick just one for your next major gun purchase, would it be an AR-15 or a bolt action rifle? I'm left-handed, so I'm looking at the Stag AR's as well as the Ruger Gunsite Scout in .308. Both are priced about the same at $750-$800. I understand it's an "apples to oranges" comparison, but I'm looking to spread the budget and chose which one is the best first purchase. Thanks guys, I appreciate the help.
