Which Ruger .22 is better overall for survival applications, and why?

Depends on the situation. Prefer the rifle. But, hiking, boating, whatever. My not want to be seen with a long gun. Pistol fits in the pack rather nicely and will be on hand should you get "lost"...

Unfortunately, this would classify it as a "short rifle," and thus would run me into all sorts of bureaucratic red tape.

I wish you could get the Charger with sights.

My 10/22 presently has the Ram-Line folding stock and an 18" barrel. I reckon I would eventually like to get as short a barrel as I can get away with having (16 1/8")

if you get a charger, you can always put a reciever rear site on it and have a gunsmith install a front site.
The other plus for the 10-22 and charger...... 50 round magazines!!!!

I have a 16" barrel 10/22 with a Choate folding stock, with XS iron sights, it's my go to plinker/backpacker/camp gun.

I got the shorter barrel by buying the "youth" model (shorter barrel and stock than the regular 10/22) and swapping stocks.

Most of the after market barrels are in the 16 inch range. My carbon fiber THM barrel (from Volquartsen) is 16.5 but is light as a feather, .92 inches in diameter and as rigid as any bull barrel.
