Check out their web-site for more info,(www.henryrepeating.com) and don't be afraid to e-mail the Co. with any questions you might have. I e-mailed over a year ago and the very next morning I had a response from the department head himself!;)Quote:

notice I don't call them clips. That just bugs me to no end when otherwise knowledgeable people call them that. Too long in the military I guess.
A single shot .22lr bolt, or to buy a new one a Savage mod 24 in .22lr/20ga
The problem is that Savage isn't making an "affordable" Model 24 now, just the expensive version, between $550 to $800!:eek:Quote:

As far as assualt rifles I took basic with an M-14 and it is a fine battle rifle and the .308 is a great round and I concider any simi- auto in this caliber to be a wise choice after being checked for function and acuracy.
I have one of the AR-7's and it is a decent rifle but it does jam on a regular basis. There is nothing else comparable on the market to replace it with. What I use now is a Ruger 10-22 with a folding stock, 3 30 rd,. magazines, and 200 rds. of ammo. I had the factory sights replaced with the new fiber optic sights and added swivels and a sling. It will place 5 shots in an inch at 25 yards. That's as good as I can do even from a rest. I keep this in a rifle case with pouches on the outside that also hold a Leatherman Wave tool, a 3 watt LED flashlight with an extra set of batteries, a compass, space blanket,
plastic poncho, and a butane pipe lighter.
I've had a few rifles jam during target practice when I'm putting a lot through them, never had one jam on a kill shot when it's the only shot I'm getting. Those chambers will tend to get a tad warm
ruger 10/22 and markIII stainless (parkerised to charcoal dull gray)5 clips for both , will feed and protect me a long time
I just found this site and Begin reading this thread a bit ago. I am very interested in survival under any and all conditions.
As for the rifle issue it is really a matter of personal preference and ones pocket book.
For my BOB I have a Springfield M-6 Scout .22 LR / 410 stainless, I also keep a .22 convertible single six .22 LR/.22 MAG in it along with collapsible fishing gear, water purification equipment, woodsmans pal Jr machete, folding shovel, cooking gear, space blankets, para cord, med kit and survival rations, plus some other stuff I can't remember.
I also have an M-6 in .22 Hornet / 410 and a Henry US Survival rifle. I have an AK-47 and Ruger Mini-14 in a Bullpup stock if the going gets really rough.
To clear up the M-6 issue, CZ made them for Springfield for the last several years and they got into some kind of argument. That is why Springfield stopped suppling them and why I bought the Hornet while I could get one. There are still some to be had but they are a bit pricey.
I am looking forward to exchanging ideas with y'all.

Exactly right about the "Kill Shot". A survival rifle is just that, a way to, hopefully, procure game. The M6 scouter along with the Savage Over & Under, are great examples of the "Survival weapon." They are both "Single Shots." Just because the AR-7 has an 8 rd. mag. doesn't mean that you empty the whole clip as fast as you can at the 1st little bunny you spot. You're not Elmer Fudd! The idea is "one shot, one kill", even though you may pack more ammo in the mag. If you want to fire a bunch of rds. quickly, the Ruger 10/22 is a good bet for that. In a true survival situation you would take your time lining up your shot, getting as close as you dare without scaring your intended dinner off.:cool:Quote:

I normaly carried a .22lr single shot rifle but in the last few years the encouters with feral dogs and the added encounters with bears has me wondering wether a lever in .44 mag such as the Henry would be a better choice?
Ahh, ya'll can carry those little pea shooters, sticking with the 308. Just feel a little more cozy with something that can take down large game. Something that makes a teeny tiny hole going in, and a BIG OL HOLE going out.
There is something to be said about "reaching out and touching" something.

lt is a good rifle...
...and killed the bear that killed me.
Anyway, l am dead.
Maybe your Black powder guns could be used here in Illinois, but only BP, bow hunting, and shotguns are allowed to hunt big game in Abe Lincoln land!:rolleyes:Quote:

You nailed him clean.
We got us an elk to skin!
I own a 30-06, 30-30, 10-22 w/ bull barrell for targeting, sks, and two .50 cal rifles. I would love to own the .50 cal sniper rifle that the army uses!
I also own 2 blackpowder rifles, and 2 D Eagles. I would like to own a glock 18, 23, and 17 special edition.
I like FVRs chioces, but I'll take my longbow, whatcha gonna do when the bullets run out! I can make arrows :D
One shot
One Kill
Swift Silent & Deadly
I can make a bow, arrows, and arrowheads from rocks and wood in my backyard.
One shot, one kill, no exceptions :D
Although I will grant the Marine Corp Scout Sniper is the best sniper.
Damn Jarheads are good for something :D
Aw Jeez, now I'm going to have to give you 25.
I like my old .300 savage, a great forest rifle and perhaps the best ever made for mountainous and forested area I live.
Great caliber in a great rifle RR:D
I'll take my British Army (First Model) Long Land Pattern Brown Bess Flintlock Musket has a 46 inch .75 calibre barrel is made of tempered seamless high carbon steel with a threaded breech plug. The lock is made with strong durable springs and has a case-hardened frizzen (hammer) that throws good sparks. The musket's total length is 63 inches and weighs 11 pounds.
Anyone here got a 17th Century type Doglock Musket, been thinking of getting one.
Beo,
For that, i use a SKS, 7.62x39, with a Synthetic Folding Stock
Light, short, easy to transport.
:)
my weapon of choice is my trusty 870, slug to 9 shot is quite adequate for protection as well as procureing food also have a 22 and an rws pellet rifle as backup
I use a throwing stick :D and a club :D
You can hunt with a good battle rifle and kick commie butt also.
But IMHO for daily foraging you have to concider the noise factor which will without adoute bring unwanted attention to your self not to mention spooking game Hunting with a bow is a good way to perfect you creep in case you gotta stalk some zombies.

Wait! Wait! Wait!
Survival from what?? Out in the wilds or from the dang fool wanting to come take my choco-chip cookies and the TP?
In the field I have a 22 cal AR-7. In the wilds of Suburbia I have a 7.62mm M-21. I have been thinking about getting back into black powder flintlocks again. I can make my own powder. The 47 lbs of gold in my closet (I wish) can be melted down for bullets.
If you can find it! The army book, Improvised Munitions is a good read. I can make my own clawmores and pipe bombs from scratch. (I will not admitting to making them)!!
So lets be honest? What would you rather do? Get close enough to shoot OR wait to hear the big bang, from the comfort of your camp and coffee, and know you got them??

I have a .22 caliber ruger and I love it! I have an infared 3-21 adjustable scope on it. Its SSOOOOOOO much fub hunting rabbits at night, they're everywhere. and to top it off the scope doesn't need batteries. any survivalist can hunt unlimited game with a scope like this.the only thing is though that i cost me 2000 bucks. I have one for my savage .243 center fire and you wouldn't believe how much esier hunting deer is with one of these. again $2000. but if you even go out in your backyard for half an hour, i bet you will see a couple rabbits.
Survivorman? are you actually les stroud?
if you want improvised munitions , chemical bombs , incineration bombs , or any other such illegal explosive go to anarchistcookbook.com its actually what got me started on forums, i have a profile there with the same name.
I used to get paid to blow up things, marcraft...we didn't go to war with someone and I missed it did we? You keep me posted of such things partner.
