Fishpole it won't take mags that is why I did not mention them , yes it is a levergun. It Will also fire the Little squib rounds that have no powder although care should be taken with them to make sure they actually go down range.

I AM HURT BUT NOT SLAIN, I WILL LIE DOWN AND BLEED A WHILE THEN I WILL RISE UP AND FIGHT AGAIN.
Well, I usually venture into the woods with a 22 WMR revolver with a 4.5" barrel and a hundred or so rounds.
For around here, it'll take care of business. But, I wonder how a 22WMR would do on a mountain lion? Seems we have them migrating in from somewhere. Gent just killed one on the Ga. / Alabama border.
That throws a stick in the spokes.
Not much on carrying rifles if I don't have to. Rather take a fishing pole.
Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he's too old
to fight... he'll just kill you.
some fella confronted me the other day and asked "What's your problem?" So I told him, "I don't have a problem I am a problem"
To your point, Coot. More and more folks are acquiring exotic animals only to turn them loose once they realize they can't take care of them or the "new" wears off. You really never know what you might run into out the woods any more. If someone says they saw a black panther. Who knows? Maybe they did.

if you must know, i have other firearms but me and that little 22. have something special. My SKS , i could not hit the side of a barn with but my Savage at 50 yards i don't even think about it, i just look at what i want to hit and its done. at a 100 yards it just takes extra takes a second. O.K. driving a
tack is just an expression, The rifle is capable of doing this but i am not. At least not every time. I know this may sound weird but the the first time i walked into that gun store and touched that rifle i knew we belonged toghter
I am so clever that sometimes I don't understand a single word of what I am saying.

Rifle...I don't know. What I really would want for a fire-arm out in the woods would be my Winchester 870 12 gauge. I mean what's better than a shotgun in the woods. You can get fowl and Mammals! A shotgun is the perfect survival gun.

i think a 22 hornet or 223 is the best. you can carry alot of both. the 410 also seems pretty good if you think of it more of a rifle than a shotgun when your shooting birds because theres so little bbs in a 410 that you need to be smart with your shots. much easier to carry than a 12 but not as nice as a 22.
Question: when I think survival rifle, and all meat comes from the land. I think in terms of forever more, and atlest 10 years. You guys must think in terms of 10 hours or 10 days.
I don't see the survival rifle as the firearm I like. I like my .375 Holland & Holland, but for survival I want just barely enough power, and 10,000 rounds of ammo. As Sarge pointed out, once the ammo is gone, it is good for a jack handle.
i have a rossi ss in .22 with a .410 change barrel. this one takes .45 LC also.
that combo does the trick.
The 22 is king, Its cheap, Its everywhere, You can feed yourself, Keep away the bad guys, Ruger 10.22 Nuff said!
