For "under 1000" -get three - a Ruger 10/22, a 98 Mauser, and an SKS.
Well it's looking like part of that budget will now be occupied by a revolver for my wife. She got a new job in an area shes not comfortable in and her Purple People Eater .22lr isn't something for her to carry.
She likes the LCR so I will probably get one of those and something for me. Still thinking 10/22 but I do have my eyes on a few AK's.

Glock anything or Ruger 10/22
Buy the wife a pretty gun (make her happy) Then go buy a HK 45 you can never go wrong
You need an auto-loading shotgun.
Ruger Mini-14 or Mini-30 + Ruger 77/22 (Check the trigger first. Some are good, and some are not.)
A simple bolt .22, if the stuff really does hit the fan, will be a real conserver of ammo. Mine is extremely accurate since I spent $30 on a new aftermarket sear and sear spring. I can hit a dime at 50 yards if I have something to rest the gun on. Otherwise, I can hit a dump truck at 50 yards. Never been this old before . . .
Or, a Glock in whatever caliber blows your skirt up and the 77/22.

I say Ruger Gp100 for the wifey and a savage short action 308. The wife will love the gp100. Its a revolver, easy to load and shoot. The weight will soak up some of the recoil and making for better shots. You can run 38 special if recoil sensitive (like shooting a .22), or you can run 357 mag (my favorite).
A savage short action bolt in .308. It is a good round, and has a lot of aftermarket parts. Including an easy barrel swap to change calibers.
