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.

F**k China!
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.

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
