i would say you need to play with a couple different guns, a ak, m4, maybe a m1a scout or something similar and see what your most comfortable with. i can tell you all day long that my ak is best but it may be to short for you.
but my bug out gun with be my m1a socom 11. its gas piston, dead on out to 500 meters, still small enough to clear rooms with (16 in barrel), packs a good punch and is just plain reliable. the one downside is that the gun and scope weigh about 11 pounds. to me that isn't a problem but some it may be to heavy for.
as to the other person who asked about the 22. everyone should own a couple. i have a tactical solutions 10-22 all done up with a red dot and it weights like 3lbs fully loaded and is dead on the money out to 100. the ammo weighs nothing. you can carry 2k rounds like its nothing and everyone has one so easy to find more
