If you are planning on being symbolic on it, put some extra bucks in the bucket and go all the way.  The ones you noted are basic hunting rifles that are not scary looking.  Go scary across the board.

Make it a Barrett in 50 BMG cal.

This was my point. I'm a prepper. I don't need to line up for overpriced scary rifles. As far as symbolism, a Crickett 22 = 50 BMG on the NICS rolls.

I WANT a 50 BMG because duh, but when it comes to plunking down 5-12K for something I can't really take advantage of in my locale, I just can't do it.

Another one I've added to the list is a 338 LM precision rifle for closer to $1200. I'll never stretch its legs either, but a lot closer to responsible budgeting.

The 50 excels at anti material of course, but my only foreseeable anti material role is defending the road into my property, in which case I'll have to hope a 338 to the windshield is as effective as a 50 to the block. God, please let me never find out.

I love this guy! How many of these first timers do you think will try to return their guns when they don't use them. Maybe there will be a flood of discount guns when this is all over.

I'm almost positive firearms can't be returned - possibly a law.

I don't think they can either but I bet that there will be people out there that will try. "Look I didn't even take it out of the box."

Oh they'll TRY.

Hopefully the vast majority will hit the range and start training up.

Clear disclaimer on a receipt/invoice for a rifle bought in December 2019 says the firearm in NOT returnable under any circumstances by law.

Huh. Twitter must be playing its games again. It's a rant similar to the gun store owner one, but possibly better.

Wow. Twitter does NOT want people seeing that tweet. It's from Forward Observer.
