I googled that rifle and at first glance it looks like a reliable and accurate rifle, but my only concern in a future bad/non existent world is that the caliber bullet would have you looking for another rifle after 200 rounds.
If I were to pick a caliber it would probably be the .308 or a 30/30. With my preference being the .308, but where I live 30/30s are the common rifle that everyone has. I will be able to re-stock at pretty much anyone's home. I wouldn't underestimate the .22 rifle, either. A well placed shot that is relatively quiet in the world of firearms can kill food or enemies without notifying the 'neighbors' that you are in the neighborhood. A Ruger 10/22 with a 25 round clip is accurate and reliable and has plenty of on-hand capacity in case that well placed shot needs another insurance shot.
Unless I am totally misconstruing this survival list, I think for the long term the common caliber is a must have item.
