Buy recommendations Advice on what to buy next
It’s 4 years I have my PAL. I hunt, go to the range and I shoot clay pigeons. I currently have 3 guns
-1970 Browning BAR 30-06 Belgium
-1990’s Winchester 1300 XTR 12Gauge
-Savage 64F 22LR
I just replenished my gun fund (~2000$)and I’d like to buy a new to me firearm. I’d like a to start a collection but a lot of interesting guns are now banned. I was thinking on a Ruger 10/22 takedown because it’s cool and perfect for a SHTF situation. I have decided to come here and ask what you guys and girls think would be a good addition. Maybe I’m missing something. All suggestions are valid. Thank you in advance

You have the basic shtf, end of world set up already.
30-06 is taking any Game in North America
12 gauge can be loaded with everything from bird shot to speciality slugs
22LR also very capable and has its place.
If you had to pick only 3... 308/30-06.. 12 gauge.. And 22lr is probably the best triple play for all situations you could possibly encounter.
I think all you need is a solid intermediate cartridge like a 5.56 or 7.62x39....cheap, readily available ammo, can stop a zombie or take out a deer etc.... If I were you I'd get a mint SKS with a few boxes of ammo.
