plans for the inevitable undead uprising

In all honesty a .22 rifle would be better as the low speed/velocity a .22 has would bounce around in a skull. while it may not have the range as a 5.56mm NATO round, it would be much better because of the lack of intacct flesh and/or softer bone. or you could use a converted M4/ AR-15 (dunno what it is) that fires 9mm.

Nodaisho:
If you are worried about ammo, get an M44, or possibly a M91/30, if it is possible to put the m44 bayonet on them, you could stab someone from almost as far away as you could shoot them. Seriously, that bayonet is twelve inches long.

Probably a 5.56 would be best for guns, as it is lighter than a .308, but you can punch through a skull with it easy. .308 would be good for longer range, though. You wouldn't want to be picky, though, get everything you can carry, and some reloading supplies, if you can. If you know guns well, when you took your pick of one, you would want one that went easy on the brass, for reloading purposes. In other words: No G3 clones.

My choice would be to go up in the mountains here in Colorado, plenty of animals for hunting, relatively empty, and if you life above the alpine line, you could see anything that came near. Cliffs would also be good, zombies aren't the most dexterous, and if you shot one that managed to be high up on the cliff, it would probably fall and land on the heads of ones beneath.

I am actually planning on moving up into the mountains eventually, so this would be pretty easy then. Especially since I would also have over a dozen guns and thousands of rounds of ammo before long.

No automatics if they are headshot zombies though, you want to conserve ammunition. A select-fire would be fine, but keep it on semi unless you have a really good reason.

edit: The advantage to iron sights is that you couldn't recognize features like you could with a large magnification scope, which would mean that you wouldn't have the "I know that guy" moment.

I suggested a shotgun mostly due to their easy maintenance and the fact that I myself will be using one extensively simply because that's one of the weapons I happen to have and personally feel most comfortable with. Plus, some zombie types appear to be able to withstand wounds to what would normally be vital organs or do not require headshots to kill, in which case you may be better off taking a higher caliber rifle or a shotgun w/ slugs that's simply capable of at least downing the suckers with a hit to center mass. A good rifle is always the top choice but sometimes you have to make due, and shotguns beat this piss out of handguns.

Patrick:
Man, you guys, fuck that .22 noise, give me a .30-06 M1 Garand. Sure, it won't bounce around in the skull, but seriously? Who needs that when the bullet RIPS THE SKULL AND IT'S CONTENTS APART because it is going THAT FAST. Seriously that shit is like 2000m/s, and the round is plenty big enough and heavy enough to keep going for a good while after it's already blasted through one zombie skull.

That said, I also want a Desert Eagle. I don't care if the thing breaks your hand every time you fire it, it will probably plow through the heads of like 80 zombies if they're lined up just right.

Alex C:
If I can make it to my grandfather's house, it's pretty much .30-06's all around. My grandfather's 86 years old, and some of his weapons are damn near as hold as he is, but they're also pristinely kept and have been killing shit since before just about anyone here was born. A few of 'em are bolt action but that'd still be fine for plinking them from a distance or for hunting for food. I mean shit, if it can kill a moose, it can kill a zombie. Although, we might be fucked if there's zombie-moose.


For what it's worth, I found an artist's rendition of what could potentially be the ideal weapon if only we could get someone to develop it (not really, but it IS awesome):
