Question for the brain trust re: rifle decision

Would be used for recreational target shooting and SHTF situation.

The obvious choice here is an AR variant, due to relatively low cost of entry, availability of ammo, interchangeability and upgradability. However they carry the stigma of being Scary Black Guns.

An option I've known about is the Ruger Mini-14. Same ammo, but less common/upgradable. Higher initial investment (cursory research on this). Doesn't look "scary" in Ranch guise. Reviews highlight some ergonomic issues with reloads. Buy new production, not used.

At what point does it make sense to NOT buy the AR? Prices on ARs vary wildly so forming an apples to apples comparison can be difficult.
