In an end of the world situation, I really would not mind having Dads ruger .44 Carbine and matching .44mag blackhawk. While it is not great at a long distance like you specify, I live in Maine where the only place you can see over 200 Yards is on a shoreline of a big body of water or a powerline! The carbine is a great brush gun, so the daily deer hunt would go ok going thru the thick Maine woods. Having only one type of ammo for both the food getter and the BG stopper is appealing. (do they make a 30-06 pistol?)

I Love to shoot my old 30-30 winchester 94, but EOW (End Of World) I really don't know what I would want. I suppose in a different location where long distance is really needed, a decient 30-06 or .308 would be nice.
