Semi-auto. I’m not a prepper, but I’m looking at going nostalgic for a M1A Standard Issue. My grandfather had an M1 Carbine that I used to shoot as a kid. I fell in love with that thing.

I guess lever action isn’t on the agenda?

ImVho, the BETTER choice is a quality PUMP-rifle like the Remington Models 760 & 7600, as the slide action is about as accurate as any “factory” bolt-gun, QUICK for follow-up shots, seldom needs repair & is more reliable than a Semi-Auto.

What does Paul Harrell say? I'm sure he has a youtube video on this subject. I love that guy.

Personally, I'd go bolt. Less moving parts.

I like the article that some posted a while back advising 1 each off several weapons. If u can afford it gives you multiple tools in the tools box. If all you have is a hammer l you’re screwed.

Same question as, “What’s better - a hammer or a screwdriver?”

If you are a lousy shot, semi-auto.

Ruger PC carbine in 9mm. Uses glock magazines. Mags can be interchanged between a handgun and this short rifle.

When the zombies charge you will need rotary magazines that get the rounds out quickly. You won’t have time to work the bold.

Rifles? Pfft. I moves on to mortars, rockets and light artillery.

Consider mobility and how much work it is to carry 500 rounds.

Good 30.06 or .270 bolt action for game, semi-auto 5.56 or 7.62 for not so nice 2 legged game, good .22 semi or bolt for small stuff and a 20 or 12Ga for in the house and bagging doves, ducks etc.

‘Trapper’ lever action in .357 Magnum.
18-inch barrel is optimum for the caliber, and with non’plus p loads in either 125g or 158g, will eviscerate a coyote, or intruder, at 100 yards, iron sights.

You can load two, shoot two, and singularly load and fire both wadcutters and semi-wadcutters. No change of magazines, or stripper clips.

I’ve shot milsurp bolt actions, overseas the m16 was the tool. The lever action will do

The answer to this question is YES.

I think it’s good to have a variety.
