Most ruger centerfire is meme tier trash, though I've heard good things about the ruger precision rifle. If you're looking for an all around igloo gun, I'd say a free floated mlok 16" ar with adjustable gas block. If you plan on running a suppressor or just live in a suburban area, maybe an 11.5-12.5 pistol

Sounds like you've got your equipment more or less sorted away. More ammo and preserved food is always good. Might be good to start looking at fortifying your house. Feds like to toss stuff through your windows like flashbangs but they make vandal resistant windows. Stuff like installing better screws in your entry doors and other things to keep them from being bashed down. Motion detecting outdoor lights. Wireless security system like simplisafe

My house is brick on a concrete slab I'm going to replace my door sunday I always reinforce the frames and run 3 inch deck screws all around the frame did that for my gun room. Cameras with motion lights are also on my list. I've had ADT for years planning on having it moved to my new place

Watching 9 hole reviews put the type 56 sks through the service rifle course and its not doing well the Chinese AK actually shot better not surprising as tilting block rifles don't have as consistent of lockup as a rotating bolt
