Well a 22 checks most of those boxes, except the urban SHTF - they're kind of BB guns in comparison to modern military style rifles, you'd never want to be in a gunfight with a 22. Bullet drop is hilarious past like 100yds and the rounds just aren't going to do any kind of damage.
I like the mini-14 suggestion - you can buy simple kits to convert them to 22lr in under 1 minute - so you can run some cheap rounds through it regularly as practice. They make a "ranch" version that isn't all tact out - might be a good option.
Nothing wrong with a good ol fashioned shotgun. They seem kinda cheese but they're phenomenal if long distance isn't an issue. Rad too being able to select from such a wide range of shells based on whatever you need in a given day.
Rad.

I don't know about "cheese," buckshot has killed a lot of deer, a lot of coyote, and a lot of people over the past century
