Any gun will do if you can do the job with that gun.
Better and nicer guns are better and nicer. This presupposes that the lesser gun can do the job with more difficulty but can do it none the less. What makes a gun "better or nicer" is having something to compare it to after all.
A desperate situation is usually going to be overcome by a cool head, not better tools. If you have the training, and the correct mindset the day is won by the man, not the gun.
I would feel very well armed with a Mosin Nagant.
It would not be my 1st choice, but don't believe for a second it's not worthy of your time or effort to carry. It's a solid rifle and can be made to work well enough to fight 2 world wars with.
If your "survival situation" is more difficult or longer lasting then WW1 or WW2 you may have a reason to believe the M/N is "no good".
