a buddy of mine and i were talking about this subject not too long ago and came up with the perfect survival weapon to be a .22lr rifle, he has a 10/22 and i have a Remy tube fed semi and a Marlin synthetic tube fed bolt action model 25 T i believe,

there cheap to buy cheap to get ammo for and light weight and in a survival application can put down deer size game with proper shot placement ....

get a 22 rifle a brick of ammo and hide that thing ina wall or something for just in case..

If I havent eaten in 6days, and I see a deer i want a helluva lot more gun than a 22 to take him down. could it? yes but more than likley the deer is gonna run off(not gonna be a blod trail to follow there) or laugh at u and walk away. Not to mention having to defend yourself with one. 22's are fun,but not exactly what i'd put my life in the hands of for any situation

I liked this one. LOL

I first had/have the marlin 60. love the rifle but was not practical to hunt with (NY State). When ever crossing fense lines or a creek (on icy log which i had to do everytime i went out), it was a pain to unload and reload. so i got the 1022. love that gun too.

for survival think i might go with an m1 carbine. about same size of the 1022 and more powerful cartridge.

LOVE the M1 ccarbine. Light, small, accurate out to about 100yds, higher velocity at 100 yards than than a .357 at its muzzle, and its got the circle and post sights, too! The only issue with that compared to the 10/22 is the cost of ammo and availability of ammo. I seem to recall something about .22LR being the most popular caliber of firearm in the world.

yes the ammo thing is the major drawback there.

dont get me wrong fellahs, i dont mean to say that it should be used for deer sized animals, but in a survival aspect you can kill game rabbits birds squirells , its a light easy to manage weapon and same with the ammo, remember we are talking survival.
i have seen a deer taken with a .22 when i was a young boy it was within 30 yards and no it didnt just drop but it didnt go far, a well placed head shot did the dead..
dont get me wrong, i would have my pistol with me and preferably a sawed off shotgun and a good .30 cal rifle also ...
