I know the ak-47 is 1 of the best millitary rifle in history, but in survival situations you don't make war and for survival in the wilderness you need water and food. For hunting different size animals a shotgun with the appropriate ammo offers more versatility ex:#7½ for rabbit, squirrel and small bird,#4and#2 for small and big duck, buck shot and slug for deer, bear, moose or personal protection.
some gunmakers offer combo rifle and that's a good thing because you have two firearms. One ex:22/410 22mag/20 308/12 and many more,you choose depend of your needs.
The marlin papoose is a good choice for some one who makes a week-end expedition.
