I like it for the 30rd mags. I love the Mosin but 5 rds at a time would suck if you really needed it for protectionAlmost every post includes an AR. But that can't possibly be because it is a firearm that is in common use...

Why do you all hate America??
Ranges? no, but there are plenty of places that you can reach past 300 yards.
Can you take me to one of these wonderful places where I can safely shoot past 300 yards?
Hmmm...
Shiloh Sharps - just have him watch Quigley Down Under and he'll understand
7.62x54r Vepr or a real Drag - the Hammer of Thor in terms of muzzle flash, but not bad recoil and mine was pretty accurate. Miss that gun.
Ruger 10/22

The Mass Pike is a great place to shoot past 300m when things get bad... Hell, go to the top of the Pru or a few other buildings and you can really reach out and touch someone. Lot of stairs though and egress may be an issue.
Congrats! you are now on-radar!
Introducing a friend to firearms, and during one chat was asked what I thought a great question to share here:
"Worst case scenario, Hitlery gets elected. What three rifles should you already have in your collection and why?" To make it more direct, let's say what three we should have that most likely will be difficult/impossible to get after the election. I figure bolt guns are safe for the time being.
What say you...and why?
(To make it even more interesting, what say we have two budget categories, 2000 for all three in the first, and 5000 for the second.)
AR-15: 'cuz the black rifle thing.
VEPR in 7.62x54R: Distributors have stock now, but were impossible for a while due to no Russian imports. And because .308 is for wimps.
Any 50 BMG: Because it scares the piss out of libtards and is already banned in CA, the utopia that all other states should follow.
Assuming bolt guns are safe, in order I would go with: light/compact AR-15 (16" carbine / aimpoint); heavier precision AR-15 (18" rifle / scoped); .308 scoped AR setup (e.g., LaRue OBR 7.62). Add more than enough normal capacity mags and piles of ammunition.
Sig Sauer 1911
Savage 11- BA .338 lapua

Sig makes a 1911 rifle? Sounds like a real game changah.

Insert the Homer Simpson drooling picture.
The 5 round magazines bothers me though, and apparently the 10 rounders have functional issues.
AR-15, AK-47 and AK-74 on the lower budget.
AR-15, AK-47 and SCAR 17s on the higher budget.
Who owns an "AR15"? Do people not have multiple uppers and lowers?
