I have been wanting a rifle. I'm probably going to get a Marlin 336 lever-action 30-30 sometime this year, but I've been thinking:
Would a shotgun be a better, or at least very adequate weapon, over a rifle even for SHTF-type scenarios?
It is possible to be accurate with slugs out to about 100 yards, right? Which is probably about max. distance you'd use an AR or other type rifle out to anyway. (IMO, if you're trying to go past several hundred yards consistently, you'd be much better served with a better tool than an AK/AR type, right?)
SO, what do you think of a shottie as a primary SHTF-type weapon? (Assuming of course that you aren't trying to snipe out several hundred yards, as mentioned above.)
