I’m reminded of that saying, “Beware of the man with one rifle!”  All those fancy/pancy rifles in that article in all the newest caliber rage, likely hard to find ammo and parts for, including mags, should hard times come upon us.

In my area a 300yd shot would be long.  A 100 yd shot more likely, and a 50yd and under shot very common.  There are lots of good ‘ol farm boys in my area with their Rugar, Remington, or Savage bolt-guns in common deer calibers that can shoot the eye out of a fly in the distances I cite.  Someone toting their $3K+  wonder gun wouldn’t stand a chance!

Its fun to discuss all the newest stuff, but we needn’t get run over by it.  Reliability, availability, accessibility,and dependability, should be what we look for when putting firearms into the inventory, IMHO.  I doesn’t require cleaning out the bank account to achieve all four of those attributes.
