I like his idea of a small caliber rifle backed by a large bore handgun, or a large bore rifle backed by a small caliber handgun. In survival you may not find a deer to kill, but you may have a better chance of finding a rabbit or squirrel.

I like the idea of a compact .22 rifle that can be easily stowed in a backpack. The classic of this type is the AR-7 Survival Rifle, made by various manufacturers in its history but now made by Henry. The Chiappa Little Badger is another of this type.

I have to agree with Paul on the judge. That is a gun in search of a use.
I have several 22 pistols as well as other things. Any 22 would be a good choice for a survival gun.
If you want to sneak around being under armed is a good way to be.

@PaulB, You’re right, lots of things have been killed with a 22… Just saying.

The old Savage 24, with a .22 and a 20 gauge, is pretty hard to beat.

Paul B: Am quite satisfied with the Judge here. My former neighbor had several negro angus bulls polluting my calf crop which are the red persuasion. A little communication of the 410 variety in their leetle beehinds from a safe distance at a full south 40 direction culminated in an understanding that climbing the fence was an unproductive activity. EVERY weapon has a niche.
