Quiet bear I've been looking at those for a while... How's it perform???

EXCELLENT. Was pleasantly surprised with the sights and accuracy. Found the one I got in a pawn shop in mint condition.

Here is my bug out combo. Ruger 77/22 Allweather and MkII SS. Trusty Jet Rocket Hatchet and Randall #1 5 inch.

Can't show any pics right now...all my firearms are 7,200 miles away at the moment! But I like my Ruger 10/22 Compact or my old Marlin Model 39A, combined with my Ruger MkII Stainless with a 4 3/4" barrel and PSI adjustable rear sight. They'll be combined with a SAK Farmer and my Case 6344SS or Schrade 34OT in my pockets, and a Randall Model 14CDT, when it arrives next February!

What, no love for the Marlin Model 60?

I only have a few pics of it right now, got it from my father-in-law last XMAS and still haven't even fired a round through it. Hoping to remedy that in a few days though

What rifle is this and cambered in what cal? When I first saw it I thought .308 until I saw the box mag coming out the side.

Here's a few of the more popular with the newest addition being the M6 Scout:

I won't post any of the "urban survival rifles / shotguns" here

Here is one of my favourites...Puma 92 saddle ring carbine in .38/.357 mag.

I was recently thinking about something similar, the Marlin 1894 in 44 Rem. Magnum / 44 S&W Special. Could make an interesting alternative as a survival/bug-out gun to a full blown semi-auto assault rifle (maybe paired with a light-weight .44 revolver for ammo commonality?).

The stainless model just caught my eye, and if I can find one that's not too dear, I may just pick one up.

That looks nice and I've had a Puma 16" stainless .44 in my sights for a while.

Here's my .44 magnum Marlin Short Rifle (had this photo in my Photobucket account). It's an older Marlin carbine that I had my gunsmith make into the short rifle configuration. It has a 17 1/4" barrel and will hold 10 .44 Special rounds, or 9 .44 magnums. It's nice and light and very accurate!
