I would not take a bolt gun, anything I need to shoot will be within range of my M1A with the range finder good to 800 yds., flip two levers on the Arms #19, it's an iron sighted battle rifle good to 400 realistically on humanoid threats.

Take off the range finder and throw two more levers and I've got an ANPVS4 N/V capable rifle thats good to 300 yds or a little further. This rifle is set up for just this type of scenario. 400rds limit? Thats okay, 308 means 300 fall to it. Thats a lot of people down and out with one rifle, day or night.

The other rifle would be my Marlin 39AS in .22. It's a dead on killer at 100 yds on anything that moves, and could also easily be used by the wife to defend with out to that distance. Head shots are a breeze when you can bust sub 3 inch diameter cans all day with it with the open sights at 100yds. It will take game, and 400 rds is no weight to carry.

The other choice for "take out for two" right now would be my slicked up Rossi stainless 357 20" levergun and the model 65 4 inch 357 S+W. 400 rds for each and I can still do everything I'll need to do with them, though the distances will be severely limited per the requirements of this thread. Both of these need little to no cleaning so maintenance would not be an issue really.
