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.

Yup , your ight , here in Maine there really are no "800 yd " shots . Actually lucky to get anything more than 100 yds of line of sight. Brush guns (such as a 30-30 ) are more in line with what would be needed here . I would also rather have a rifle/pistol combo than a rifle/rifle combo . Little harder finding a combo that shares the same rounds , but a little research and you can find them .
BTW , actual location in the "scenario" is very important as to weapon choice .
As for my choice , I would use what I already have , glock22/kel-tec sub2000 , same ammo and mags and gets me out to 100+yds as well as up close and personal .
