Both the .223 and 7.62 are readily available and cheap enough, In a shit hits the fan situation both are still good rounds… the US military relies on the .223 for their M-16, and many ppl here in the US use the .223, the 7.62 will be more available in a world situation though… but since we are looking at varmint shooting, either would be good… you can get a pretty decent cheap SKS, or can go with a stamped AK if you aren’t looking for super reliability. ---

> [@The\_Russian](#): > > .22mag .223 is a bit strong for varmints .223 has a longer range I would take a .223 over a .22mag anyday. I doubt the gopher really cares how big his exit wounds gonna be. ---

> [@ImportMuscle](#): > > how bulk? > > theres a gun store in batavia that sells em in boxes of 100 for cheap I’m not planning on starting a war or anything, so that should be good. Been watching that show Jericho too much. Makes me want to bulk up my end of the world supplies a little. 🙂 ---
