It has come up a few times here already. I found this one the other day it is entirely new to me, alot of pistol. 30 rounds of .22 magnum, and a loaded weight comes in at just barely over 1 pound, 19.6oz. loaded.

I think the ultimate survival gun might not be a rifle at all.

Link to specs.
 
Neat gun, neat concept, but not what I'd look for in a firearm for a survival situation though.
 
it seems a lot of people are loving .22s right now. must be the economy. my father-in-law just bought a m&p 15-22.
 
22 caliber is underrated .
I love the 22caliber whether 22LR or 22Mag . I prefer the 22LR and I prefer it in rifle form . Neat Pistol looks like a re-invention of AMT automag in 22mag from the 80's
 
Not to get too off topic but since the .22 caliber came up already. The .22 caliber is often underrated.

I purchased a Remington 40X .22 long rifle, single shot from CMP. It's a 1958 US stamped beauty. My son and I cleaned it up, refinished the stock, glass bedded it and shoot the hell out of it. At 50 yards you're shooting a ragged hole. Round after round.

You want the best trainer? Train behind a .22 at 100 yards. It forces you to focus on all the fundamentals. Breathing, finger placement, trigger pull, etc. Best investment I ever made for training at the range.
 
Screams tacti-douche. Over on snipershide a couple months ago someone had posted an article written by a man who was living in argentina when it collapsed in the 90s. The gist of it was, semi-autos were the most sought after guns, sigs and glocks ecspecially. It was a real interesting read, Ill search and post if I can find it.
 
I had heard those were coming out, but had not seen full specs or MSRP.
I think I would prefer it in .22LR for compatibility with a rifle, but I wouldn't spit on someone who offered to give me one as is. :)
 
I like my M-6 Scout rifle for that role.

I had this image of it from when my wife needed some pics for school

It's a .22LR over a .410. The stock holds 15 rounds of 22 and 4 more of .410. I have a stock saddle that's meant for rifle cartridges that will carry 8 more .410.

Fun little gun, was my first when I was 12 and it's a blast to teach people on - has notch and peep sights, pretty accurate as well even though you can't adjust the sights. Wrapped some paracord in front of the chamber as a handle/source of cord.
 
in a survival situation a rifle is the only way to go, heres a few that I like, there light rugged and reliable, all in 22 cal except the m6 with is an under over

henry survival rifle
springfield m6 scout rifle
marlin model 60& 795
ruger 10/22

the effective range of a pistol is shit compared to a rifle in any calibre, a rifle for survival gives you alot more range when hunting game
 
I'll just add that Kel-Tec seems to be coming up with some really cool designs that are light weight and compact.
 
I do like Kel-Tec...definitely coming up with some great designs...

however, i wish M6 was still in production...it's #1 on my want list...
 
Wow. I never thought I'd see the .22 held with such high regard! How can you beat it in a 'survival' situation? If you think you're gonna need it as a defensive weapon you might be in a wee bit 'o trouble, but how can you argue with it's ability to harvest food? 50 rounds weigh nothing to take with you. And I always have a few thousand ready to go!

I've got a 10/22 and a Hunter Mark III and I have complete faith in my ability (and more importantly, theirs!) that I could put something in the pot if I had to do it.
 
I have to agree. The rifle wins this game. Though in this forum some are claiming they have sub.5 moa via pistol at 50 yards.... If that is true, take the pistol, but I call bs on that.

My favorite too! I gave my .22LR/.410 to my son and I later bought a .22 Hornet/.410 - both stainless. Always on the lookout for parkerized versions of these firearms.
 
The right pistol in the right hands can do an MOA - with iron sights. I've seen it done by a couple IHMSA guys back when I was shootin'. Granted they both used a Remington XP-100. That pistol is as accurate as my 700BDL any day, though it is a big pistol. There are at least a couple of SS 10" barrel pistols made now (mainly for IHMSA shooters) that can do it out of the box, once you find the right load combo. I might pick one of those (for max accuracy), maybe a Freedom Arms revolver in 454 Casull (sheer firepower energy versus carry weight, and will kill a griz), or a Thompson Contender (with multiple barrels for different calibers) given the choice for various "survival" conditions or circumstances. What they lose in power versus a longer barrel is made up for by lighter weight and easier carry.
 
Good luck finding one.

CDNN sales them for $300. I haven't seen one under $450.
Supply & Demand.

I like the Kel-tec SU-16. Chambered in .223, semi auto, accepts AR mags and folds in 1/2. Built in bi-pod

The ruger 10/22 is a great rifle, 22lr is a good caliber for it's intended use, shooting stuff.
I have mixed feelings about kel-tec.
I like that M-6 scout, nice rifle.
