As the title says, I have $300 to spend on a purely shtf gun. I live in the city, and need a gun to help me get to our ranch, where we have loads of weapons and ammunition. My choices are as follows:

-9mm Hi-point carbine
-Mossberg persuader in 12 guage
-Remington 870 with extended magazine and 20 inch barrel
-SKS
-Mosin Nagant
-S&W sigma in .40cal


Anything else you guys suggest?

Survey says!........ Mossberg Persuader 12 gauge. Ding, ding, ding.

i agree with ten man on the twelve gauge... but, how many rounds does the persuader hold versus the 870 with extended tube... i own both a mossy and a 870 and like them both... but deffinetly go with the twelve gauge, thats what i would do anyways... jmo.

[ArkansasHunter]

My choice would be the SKS I wished I bought one when they were cheaper.

Where you been rascal LOL...A.H

[bigandrich44]

I forgot to mention, I have an 870, just doesnt have the tube. I also keep an 1100 under the bed, once again completely stock.

Persuader 12 gauge holds 8 + 1. 18.5" barrel with breaching muzzle guard. Optional Bayonet.

Marine Corps tested!

nice thanks ten man i have the 500 mossy 8shot with 20" barrel thats my go-to gun...

[CrazyIvan]

Might be able to find a good deal on a used AK for that price. Check www.GunsAmerica.com, www.GunBroker.com and your local shops.

[TACAV]

Stay away from the Sigma, worst Smith and Wesson Trigger EVER!@!@! They are cheap and plentiful for a reason in all the gun stores... Because no one wants them lol.

Cannot beat a good ole 12ga anything

[338RUM]

no body has suggested the HIGHLY VIABLE 10/22

[jerry]

I was waiting for it

[338RUM]

but wait there's more! pair it with a HIGHLY VIABLE 410 BOLT ACTION WITH SLUGS

[Windwalker]

I like the 870 but would add the extended mag. Also, the hi point carbine is light, handy, and capable of reaching out and touching someone if necessary. If you chose it, carry several loaded spare mags.

Thanks, I'll stick with my highly viable Bow

[338RUM]

Ok rambo!!! Lol

[thrillbilly]

A 12G of some sort...just site it in for slugs, and carry buckshot for up close and slugs for range.

[bigandrich44]

I think an AK variant would do me well. Whats the cheapest variant out there? The WASR, correct?

[CrazyIvan]

Yea, the WASR is probably the most inexpensive and best performance for the price.

As I said, it may be difficult to find one for $300, but I bet if you keep your eyes open, you will.

[big boomer]

The only thing is the 870 with the extended tube screws up the balance, it is muzzle heavy and will not swing proper. I know because I tried it and ended up selling the extension.
