break down .22

I also have the 10/22 with Butler folding stock, quick release 4x scope as an accessory in it's carry case.

I don't think the Butler Creek stock is junk, it's more than acceptable for light work which this type of setup would get.

They are reliable and accurate. Squirels to 70 yds are not a problem.

A very nice set up, but a little more money and bigger than the papoose when both are made as small they can be.

I would suggest an M6 over any of the other rifles mentioned. They are all fine rifles, but the M6 is a true survival rifle and MUCH more reliable than any repeater. They have a very simple, robust action that will easily withstand decades of use. You also have the .410 barrel for larger game; .410 slugs (especially the Rotweil Brenneke style) are much more effective than most people believe.

I would stay away from the older Springfiled Armory-made guns, though, as they generally aren't nearly as accurate with the .22 barrel, and the .410 barrel on the SA guns is choked Cylinder Bore. The newer CZ-made M6's are exceptionally accurate (I've never heard of an inaccurate CZ M6) and are choked Full. You can also carry extra ammo (both .22 and .410) in the gun's stock. Lastly, if you wish a more powerful round, the M6 can be had in .22 Hornet, although I would reccomend the .22lr.

I wrote an article on the M6 over at:

http://oldjimbo.com/survival/

that covers some minor modifications that make the M6 an even better gun for survival use. I recently put a scope on my M6, and once the weather clears I'm going to finish sighting it in. But as accurate as it is with the peep sight, I expect it will be a real tackdriver with the scope.
