If I had to run to the woods, I would grab my 4" 66 and my scoped Browning BL22. My primary goal, at least in the short term, would be to hide. With that in mind, a good .22 is an efficient and relatively quiet dinner getter. The 66 would just be there in case someone decided that they needed my dinner more than me.
For the rifle it would either be my SKS or my M-1. The SKS gets the nod on being handier and not needing clips to be loaded. The M-1 get the nod for power.
For the handgun it would either be my H & K USP in .45 ACP or my S & W model 27-2 6". Best advantage of the 27 is not needed a magazine to be loaded.
A nice rimfire or shotgun would round things out nicely.

Glock 17 and AKM, it might be a long time before I ever clean guns again...

If I was running from a lot of guys, an 18" FAL carbine by DSA with a 1.75x6 leupold and my Para-Ordance P-14.
Just a few guys and out for a long time, a Winchester pre-64 Model 70 featherweight in .308 and my S&W mountain gun .44 mag.
A big brown bear, a .50 Alaskan M-71 Browning and a Freedom Arms.454 Casull.
The mountain gun goes everywhere with me on a day to day basis and so it would probably get the nod.

Would probably opt for 3-4. My Beretta Xtrema 12ga, LMT .223, Sig 522 and S&W M&P 15T. If one of them had to be a handgun, my 627 8 shot.

Lets see, my Model 27 because I have so much .357 and .38 ammo. My long gun would be my Ithaca Deerslayer. I would take a third though, my 1853 Enfield Musketoon because I have alot of supplies for it and there are alot of deer nearby.
AR-15 with3x basic load and AAC suppressed Ruger Mk II. There are some things the people near you don't need to know about.

Pistol: 1911a1 .45acp
Rifle: Any .30cal, M1 M14 FAL AR10 AK etcetc.
If the stars were aligned right (and heck since aliens are here stranger things have already happened) I would see if I could appropriate a "Ma Deuce" .50 and an FN SCAR.....oh and a Westley Richards .577NE double rifle.
As far as running though, running far isn't much of an option. I'd rather die than leave my woodstove anyway.

Interesting discussion. If I didn't join'em, I'd probably grab my M1 rifle. As for a handgun, that'd be a tossup between my 1911 and my S&W Model 18, leaning towards the revolver.
these three for sure...Rock River, 686 CS-1, 870

Just 2? I'm afraid I'd grab more than that but to play along. First up would be my go to SHTF rifle, an Arsenal 107F with my chest rig and 4506 attached.

Most men go to war with one long gun. A .223 or 308/30-06 have worked for many..I can't think of a better do everything gun than a .223 with lots of ammo. I say gun and not weapon because I am thinking this is as much for survival as war.
I would keep my caliber/calibers small. I could do most everything with a .22 and 12 gauge shotgun. However, I am thinking I would go with a versital caliber like .223 , .38./.357 or .22 and .22 magnum. I always liked the idea of a 22lr/22mag combo revolver with a strong built .22 magnum carbine.
As for pistol / revolver I don't think there would be much use for one unless it was something like a .22/.22 mag or 38/357 to go with a combo carbine of the same caliber.
The idea of having a bug hideout as an ace up the sleave is very appealing.
