    Springfield M6 Scout........22lr AND .410

    Most civilization is based on cowardice. It's so easy to civilize by teaching cowardice. You water down the standards which would lead to bravery. You restrain the will. You regulate the appetites. You fence in the horizons. You make a law for every movement. You deny the existence of chaos. You teach even the children to breathe slowly. You tame.

      Henry mini bolt, using stock bolt as a take down screw in Marlin Papoose case. Snake Charmer in 410 as well...that's the Jeep two gun permanent combo...survival guns to me mean different things as well...
      TURNING and turning in the widening gyre
      The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
      Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
      Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
      The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
      The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
      The best lack all conviction, while the worst
      Are full of passionate intensity.

      William Butler Yeats 1865-1939

        my 10/22 as that is my only .22lr gun.

        but even if it wasn't, it has been reliable shooting variety of ammo, and easy to clean/low maintenance.

            As far as the Neos goes, I worked at a range where we sometimes rented one. Yea, I said "sometimes". It had more than it's share of problems. I would NEVER consider it to be a reliable gun. I've never had major problems with a Ruger pre MK, MKI, II or III though.

            Disclaimer: I'm just speaking from my personal observations and experiences. YMMV.
            Let's put in a qualifier or two: My AR-7 is an AR-7 industries model, which is generally considered the best quality (main difference is barrel - all steel instead of aluminum or composite with a steel sleeve). It came to me with the chamber beveled and polished, and appears to have had some trigger work. The most common problem with any AR-7 is grabbing the magazine. They won't cycle right if the mag isn't freely dangling. Some reported barrel warping with the Charter Arms makes.

            The U22 runs like a champ if slightly picky about ammo. It doesn't like the waxy muck on fiocchi rounds (sometimes bolt will close before the next round makes its slow journey up the magazine), and shorter rounds tend to jam. Even with "incompatible" ammo it still goes bang every time. What problems did you see with the range gun?

            Let me know when you'd like to try out my samples, you're only an hour or so away. Bring your samples too!

              I would take a 10/22 youth model, its the shortest of the 10/22's. My 10/22's are so accurate and will digest anything !!!

                    Semi-auto .22LR rifles can be sometimes finicky when it comes to ammo. If I had to choose it would be a single-shot or bolt-action from this list:

                    CZ-452 Lux
                    Marlin 981TS
                    Marlin Golden 39A
                    Remington 572 BDL
                    Springfield Armory M6 Scout
                    Savage Model 24

                    Now the only reason I made an exception for the CZ was due to the accuracy of the rifle and the excellent iron sights it comes with. While it is magazine fed it can be fed single-shot should the magazine fail for any reason.
                    "People who object to weapons aren't abolishing violence, they're begging for rule by brute force, when the biggest, strongest animals among men were always automatically 'right'. Guns ended that, and social democracy is a hollow farce without an armed populace to make it work." Clarissa in The Probability Broach by L. Neil Smith.

                      my survival rim fire is a 22lr over a 20 gauge.


                      with some slugs or good buck shot, its handy to take a squirrel to a deer. in a over under configuration very reliable, and with the 20 gauge very handy. These are very popular over the pond not much in the US

                        That's too much driving in one day to really enjoy it. I'm looking to make arrangements, but if I can't drive up friday I don't think i'll make that one.

                          I think a take down 10/22 will do the job. If you take an allen wrench along and loosen the V-Block than you have two separate pieces. Cheap, reliable and functional.

                            Well if I can just have one gun it'll be my 10/22. It's jammed once... I think... in over twelve years. But if I'm carrying something heavier for large game it'd be a tricked out MKIII target for backup and small game.
