If semi auto firearms were not an option.

No love for the Ruger scout carbine?

Well if we’re considering factory built scouts or scout like rifles I would put the Ruger near the bottom of the heap.

Shy of an AR or other semi-auto, a .357 lever gun would meet many requirements.

Troy at one time (not sure if they still make them or not) produced pump-actions AR's, both in 5.56 and .308 and they took detachable mags.

Most of the alternatives proposed are fairly straightforward and practical, just boils down to personal preference. Some can use a shotgun with slugs and be accurate to 50-100yds...I cannot,
I would opt for a lever .357, 30/30, or the ruger scout with 10+1 capacity in .308 or 5.56, if I were to reside in a more rural area. As mentioned, it would depend on ones location, urban vs. rural. If faced with limited choices, and living in an urban environment, as I do, my choice would simply be a pocket 340pd for every day carry, shockwave shotty to keep in vehicle; and have duplicates at home. As a previous post stated, simple and easy to maintain items.

I’m sort of disappointed nobody has posted a picture of themselves with dual nylon shoulder holsters sporting a brace of Judges loaded with alternating 410 slugs and shot, another pair on each hip in uncle mike holsters loaded with 45 colt,
And a fancy sling on a circuit judge carbine with red dot, laser, light combo.

Back in 2006 or so there were AKs like that too

You mean 90gr projectiles with velocity similar to a 380 with 5 rounds in a 3lb gun?

Just head over to The High Road (thehighroad.org) and you will find plenty of said photos.

I live in VA so I already had to prepare for January. I'll admit I do enjoy these though, both are 357. Henry and S&W M&P R8
