You've got a Glock and a shotgun, so at the minimum you need a rifle. I'm not a fan of needing lots of ammo for close-in work with a rifle (isn't that what your pistol and shotgun are for?), so I am comfortable with my bolt-action rifles. Get the SKS if that makes you happy, but make sure you don't pay too much, they're a hot commodity right now. Ammo is cheap enough that you can stockpile quite a bit.
If you will entertain the thought of owning a bolt-action rifle J&G has some affordable K98 Mausers in 8X57mm that will work just fine, I've got three myself. The design has proven faultless for over 100 years.
The Swiss K-31 Schmidt Rubin rifles in 7.5mm (use surplus or Wolf ammo) would be a good choice due to their superior metal-work.
My go-to rifle is my deer rifle (since I shoot it the most): a bolt-action Remington 700 in 30.06
A second pistol is always good, your choice depends on your needs. You can stick with something that uses the same caliber ammo as your Glock or not. If you want something smaller, a semi-auto .380 is a good choice: Kel-Tec, Ruger, Kahr, Taurus all make good guns, your pick will depend on your budget and what fits your hand comfortably. I've got an AMT Backup II in .380, but it's out of production and quite heavy. Think light weight for this caliber.
I say get a .357 revolver: they don't leave a bunch of brass lying on the ground when you use them (hint, hint). Use cheaper .38 Special ammo for range- work, save the pricier full-power ammo for carry. I just love my stainless S&W 686 with a 4" barrel, but a new one is very pricey. Taurus makes clones of the Smith & Wessons with comparable quality but at a lower price-point. Think second- hand for less money.
Others will have some good idea's in addition to mine, the ultimate decision is fitting your purchase to your needs and budget.
Remember, whatever weapon you have is better than none.
I had to stop getting everything out there and have now limited myself to a .177 one-cock, 1100fps scoped pellet rifle, less than 2hun and the ammo is beneath cheap, .22LR and .22WRM pistols and rifles, .223 a pistol and rifles, 7MM rifle, .416 Barrett,.45ACP sidearms, and a FN 5.7x28 pistol. Shotguns are 16 and 12 gauge with slugs, buckshot, and fowl and game loads.
A nice compound bow and arrow rig can be had second hand for dirt cheap. This takes a bit of practice, but is loads of fun, and is quite deadly once you become proficient.
Have fun with it.
The main objective now is to get all the ammo for all the toys.
