If you are looking for a good, accurate shtf gun, you can choose between the Tavor, AR-15, SKS, Glock 19, and SIG Sauer. There are many advantages and disadvantages to each gun, so let's have a closer look to see which one suits you best. There are many options, so you will need to choose the one that suits your needs.
Tavor
The Tavor is a semiautomatic assault rifle, manufactured by Israel Weapon Industries. It was designed as a replacement to the Uzi. This gun features a bullpup layout, which puts the center of gravity further back. It allows single-handed fire. The gun is also ambidextrous and has a long-range range capability.
AR-15
An AR-15 is the best choice if you are looking for an accurate, reliable, and affordable SHTF weapon. These weapons have modular and two-piece receivers. They can fire 5.56x44mm cartridge rounds and come equipped with a 30-round mag. You can find carbine-style designs with adjustable stock, a 16" barrel, and many other accessories. While the AR-15 is no longer used by police and military forces, it's still very popular among civilians.
SKS
Although there are many upgrades that can be made to the SKS Shtf Gun, not all of them will work if you have a limited budget. While the integrated magazine is reliable, the aftermarket removable magazines don't last as long as the fixed magazine. If you have more rounds to spare, it is a good idea to practice reloading before buying an aftermarket magazine. This rifle also accepts duckbill magazine.
Glock 19
There are a lot of advantages to owning a Glock 19. The 9mm semi-automatic pistol is lightweight and easy to use. It comes with a high capacity 15-round magazine and can be easily upgraded to a bigger one. Some models have an accessory rail which lets you use flashlights or lasers. Glocks can also be upgraded or repaired with many parts.
Springfield M14 or FAL STG58 (0.308)
There are many things to consider before choosing a shtf gun. First and foremost, accuracy. FAL isn't as precise as other designs. The FAL isn’t necessarily as accurate as an AK. Other designs are better if you want to boast about the group size.
Tavor is a small, lightweight, easy to handle handgun
The IWI Tavor is a compact and lightweight, yet powerful, shtf handgun. The Tavor is compact and lightweight, but it can function in tough environments. The Tavor's long stroke piston operating system, and adjustable gas cylinder above the barrel, make it a superior choice for rough environments. The gun's weight ratio of its bolt group and barrel also allow it to achieve ruthless extraction. It is unlike other handguns in that it doesn't need special tools or maintenance.
It has a lifetime warrantee
Although a warranty of lifetime is offered by most companies, you should still ask how long it lasts. There are no set laws for the term lifetime in warranties, so companies have some latitude when drafting the terms. If a product is still under warranty after five or 10 years, it will most likely have limited coverage. A product with lifetime warranty is more durable and cheaper than one without.
It's affordable
It is a smart decision to buy a 22 LR handgun if you intend to go hunting. The handgun is capable of taking down small game, and it can be used in emergency situations for defense purposes. This gun can also be used inside your vehicle. It's lightweight and can carry 20 rounds of ammo. In case of an emergency, you can always deploy it inside your vehicle.

How To
How to build a Deer Blind
A deer blind is a type of hunting device used to hide from game animals such as deer, elk, etc. It consists of a small enclosure made of wood or canvas, usually covered with branches and leaves. The hunter hides inside the enclosure and waits for the animal to pass by. When hunting at night, a deer blind is frequently used.
You can find deer blinds in many sizes and shapes. Some are portable, while others are permanently fixed. They are made from materials such as plywood, cardboard and plastic.
The most common types of deer blinds are box blinds (also called box stands), which consist of a wooden box with a roof and walls. They are easy to construct and move.
A tree stand, another type deer blind, is also available. Tree stands can be made natural to appear natural, so people won't suspect that they are there. Most tree stands are permanently attached with trees.
Other types include ground blinds, which are similar to tree stands except they are built into the ground. Ground blinds are often camouflaged with grass, dirt, rocks, or sand. Ground blinds also sometimes go by the name "ground boxes".
There are many different ways you can hunt in a deer blind. You can wait for the animal's approach by sitting still. You could also move and try to scare it away. If you decide to use this method, be sure to keep your distance and not move too fast. This could lead to an animal believing you are a threat and running off.
You will need to locate a spot where you can use the blind. You should pick a place where the wind won't blow your scent toward the animal. Also, avoid areas where people hike frequently.
Finally, make sure you know how to properly set up the deer blind, because the last thing that you want to happen is for the animal to see you and run away.
