Survival Weapon

O yea nice gun.

[Sourdough]

Hey hopeak. Just wondering, why the rock river over the others? Like DPMS, springfield, ... Considering a 308 myself.

It is a lot lighter, 8.1 pounds for the A-4 16". My only problem with the others is the weight. The Springfield SOCOM is a wonderful firearm, but $1,695.- on sale. And it is heavy.

Because of the fuzzy's in my yard, and pretty much everywhere around here, I carry something everywhere, even to the outhouse.

Mostly I have been carrying a 6.8 SPC A-4, AR-15. I like to wander around the Chugach National Forest all day. The truth is I hate Black Guns, I like pre-1964 Model 70 Winchesters. But I also hate cleaning firearms; and the Black Guns are good about that.

Buy what you like for what ever reason you like it.

For what it is worth, I have a friend Eric J. and he and his two sons have shot 41 moose over the last 24 years. All one shot drops, with AR-15 in .223

[Sourdough]

Common happening for a person's first Moose. you gotta be real stupid to do it twice.
Worse is Brown Bears that drop into a creek 3' wide and 4' deep.

hopeak how far are you from Fairbanks. I spent a few years there early in my military career and loved it. I was stationed on ft wainwright, richardson and greely. also spend alot of r & r time in glenn allen (have a good friend there), seward and valdez. Best place on earth!

[Sourdough]

I am about 11 miles out of Hope, Ak. about 75 miles south of Los Anchorage. If you spend time in Fairbanks in the winter, you know cold, -46 below yesterday in Fairbanks.

Cracks me up, all the bug'out people that are going to go to Alaska, build a log cabin and live for free. Right now it is -73 below F. in Tok, Alaska today.

I have a friend who I shoot with that, prefers .22lr pistol Ruger mkII very good choice.
His eyesight is not so hot. I pack my Henry M-7 and have 20-20 vision. I eat more often
than him. I learned it early, if you gotta kill something use a rifle.

[Sourdough]

SAM, You know the one about the sheriff invited to some function. The host said, I see your wearing your revolver, tell me are you expecting trouble? Nope, if I was expecting trouble I would have brought my rifle.

Or as Jeff Cooper Say's, "Your pistol is what you use to fight your way back to your rifle".

You might invite you friend to consider a Extended Eye Relief scope on his Ruger MK II

[Sam]

Thanks I'll tell him.

If I die and go to Heaven that gun will be waiting for me. Saweeet.

The SOCOM II is a great little rifle in 308 also

Tony uk, When I have multiple Brown bears in camp at one time shredding everything, I dream of Mini-Guns also.

[Rick]

Let me get this straight, you put brown bears to work shredding documents? Quite noble of you, really. It's a little known fact that brown bears have a very high unemployment rate. It's a rather grizzly statistic.

I would use my 410 shotgun for a survival weapon, its the second best of my choices after my mind (says my dad and he likes to test that by asking what I would do when we're out in the woods) and then my .35 cal flintlock. I've done a lot of squirrel and rabbit hunting with my 410 and if needed I could put a slug in it for protection.

[Tony uk]

A goofy hat?

Nope, That amazeing beared

And i know you want one like it to, yeah, uh-hu, Gotcha

It's because they basically don't show up from fall til spring. Unreliable...tsk tsk. It's really unbearable from an employer's point of view.

[Sourdough]

And if they get into the blueberry pie, it is like a blueberry factory exploded in the lunchroom. And they shed all over in the spring. We have switched to poodle puppy's.
