Lots of variables and could evolve into a lengthy discussion. My vote for a survival type rifle would have to be one that will not let me down no matter what, i'll vote for the Ak-47 . 

[Pygmy]

Any well functioning .22 LR and a BIG bag full of ammo for it...I'd pick a Ruger 10/22....

Well if you going to go that route I like the Russian sks.  since are great state says we cant have anything with pistol grip and detachable magazine because it's too scary:)

I think there is no contest, just look at the sales of AK-47 all over the world, cheap and reliable... can't beat that. Personally, I like our AR-15 platform, not too shabby either and then close behind any bolt action 30-06, just my personal opinion.

Here is the one I'm trying to get my hands on and start importing (tons of paper work). AK driven, made by Polish company "Lucznik-Radom" http://fabrykabroni.pl

Blunderbuss - depends on what you are trying to survive.   Not technically a rifle I guess.

12 gauge all day long

And a 2 liter pop bottle for noise containment

It's really a simple answer to the question and by some strange coincidence that perfect survival rifle is available right here, right now..........PM me for details.

6.5x55 Swedish Mauser

Savage 24 20ga/30-30. Kill everything I would ever want to in a survival situation. Ammo is available everywhere and a bullet proof design.

Your all wrong.  It's the one you have the most confidence in, and you shoot the best.  

But if I "had" to pick one, it would be... Ok  I can't choose.  

[DirtTime]

We talking zombies or real people?

Zombies, $200 Katana with a blade folded 200 times.

People........

Anything in an AR platform. If you don't like the specs of the box rifles, build your own. Possibilities are endless!

I would also suggest a sling-shot. Shoot'em in the eye, stab'em .............NM. Probably to graphic........

Not exactly what I had in mind was thinking Shipwrecked on a desert island or plan crash in the middle of nowhere kinda of scenario . 

If your talking having to kill zombie apocalypse  or end of civilization.  I say ak or AR 

Or a sub machine gun like the Beretta m12 or a mp5  because there more compact

The Ruger mini 14.  There is one in the for sale section, that has me on the edge of my seat. Lots of add on's and things you can do with it.

I like the combo idea myself.

During WW 2 around 1942, the German Luftwaffe issued 12 x 12 x 9.3x74r drillings to pilots as a survival rifle.

Hermann Goring (head of Luftwaffe) was an avid shooter/hunter and was responsible for having Sauer build around 2600 of them; and they came in a nifty breakdown case with ammo and supplies.

I won an auction some years ago for a complete unit with unopened ammo and all the kit; but never took possession as the auction house messed up and a blind buyer's bid wasn't entered. They asked me if I would sell to him at a tidy profit and I jumped at the chance.

Just the guns and the kits still come up for sale from time to time.

I like the mini thirty a little better I would think hard about buying that if it was .

[Will_C]

I would probably pick a 12 gauge pump gun, but other strong contenders would be a .22, or my .357 lever action with my revolver on my hip and a collection of .357 heavy loaded and .38 specials loaded light for small game.

[Hunter007]

Interisting nobody here picked one of the survival guns market as only a survival gun like the AR7 or m6 .

 

 

[stubborn1VT]

I would go with a .22.  Nothing like being able to carry thousands of rounds.  Not much you can't kill with one in a survival situation.  I would opt for a bolt action over a semi for reliability, but would probably settle for a 10/22 or a nylon 66 for capacity.  

People probably don't care for the idea, but the Athabaskans and other northern people hunt have hunted everything (including moose) with a .22 caliber.

Why not it beats a spear or arrow at close range 

I here  farmers sometimes  use them to put down sick  horses , cows pretty much any farm animal you can think of.  From close range with good shot placement there is not much you couldn't kill with one.
