Ok so I’m looking at this from more of a general apocalypse scenario. So a little more geared towards getting food and doubling as a self defense tool. Zombies don’t change my choices a lot, but are a fun spin on it!
If I can only have one it’s probably an Aea semiauto. One I’ve worked on and got running properly, of course. Not the nicest but they are a solid simple gun that puts out a lot of power! I know the semi auto is finicky but if it doesn’t work you can cycle the rifle manually. Probably a compact 25 cal with a big bottle that shoots slugs good. Few rebuild gets and you’d be good for years!
If I can have multiple. I’d have a compact Sidewinder in 30 cal, big bottle. This is my defensive gun. Probably a Taipan in 177. To many choices for that gun, I could list 5 different makes and models that I imagine would do as good of a job as the Taipan. And last would be a Huben pistol in 22, because? Well in a perfect zombie apocalypse a man has to have a good sidearm!
Also a Zero Tolernce or Spyderco in my pocket. And a good kukri in a belt sheath!
Edit: Oh yeah forgot optics. The Aea would have 1-8 power Nightforce lpvo. The Sidewinder would have a solar powered red dot, probably a Holosun. The Taipan would have the 1-8 Nightforce and the Huben would be open sights or a red dot, can’t decide.
