> Grab a M6 scout rifle

That's just about the WORST choices OP could make for his situation;
shitty ergonomics, shitty trigger, single shot, slow loading firearm
designed as a low-bid, bare minimum Air Force survival gun.

> .410 shotgun rounds to deal with larger things.

The .410 cartridge is just about useless; too small a load of shot
and too underpowered to for anything larger then a rabbit (and
good luck actually hitting that rabbit in the first place!) yet heavier
and bulkier then far more useful cartridges.

Unless I missed a post, doesn't sound like OP is a gun nut nor has
any plans for hunting and is primarily looking for a self-defense rifle,
in which case an AR or AK type as mentioned would be perfect and
if he does want to try his luck on small game or have somthing for
"walk'n the property" with , a reliable, accurate and ubiquitous Ruger
10/22 can be added.
