If you are talking about being a real survivor in any type of shooting situation, then why would you want what Andy referred to as a defensive weapon (or in his other words "a real fighting gun")? I would much prefer my weapon to be offensive rather than purely defensive. I would also prefer not to have to get into a gunfight. Avoiding the gunfight is the way to insure survival. Now if I had to shoot someone, wouldn't it behoove me to be able to do so without that person engaging me in a gun battle? I would think so. Therefor the best gun to have in any kind of a shooting situation would be one with which you can reach out and touch someone because long distance is not the next best thing, it is the best thing! A range of at least 200 to 400 or 500 yards, and one shot kill with the proper equipment would be the most effective solution to keep you alive.
Of course this is practical only in certain situations, but that is the kind of rifle I want to carry not one that shoots like <font color=red>*</font><font color=red>*</font><font color=red>*</font><font color=red>*</font> at those longer ranges and then does not have the power to do the job.
