your favorite survival rifle?

Just print this and hang it over the computer. If you get to feeling low just glance at it.

RULE 2: IF IN DOUBT, REFER TO RULE 1.

You have to admit. That's darn near a Cootism.

Looks like I'm going to be eating a big old bowl of humble pie through the course of the day. I called the 1-888 number and asked, he said nope. No hesitation, nothing, in fact he sounded like I woke him from a sound sleep... I went on to mention the wording of it and was met with uninterested silence... so I said thanks and got a unenthusiastic "yep." So... unless you folks find out otherwise I'm going to have to eat all my words, go back and appologize to everybody and worst of all send out some silver... *sigh* how humiliating! I'm still holding out hope of talking to the game warden though and being redeamed... looks like a long shot at this point but... Either way I will be having an interesting conversation with him when I see him. Now I'm off to go call the main teacher of the hunter's safety class and tell him-

Cannonman - there is absolutely nothing wrong with having to admit you were wrong. I had to do it once.....well twice.....ok maybe three times.....oh nevermind.

What I like about humble pie is that it has lots of fiber, so it will pass quickly. Which comes in handy when you have an outhouse with no door, at -23*F

...and if you have to pass the immigration quiz, that's also the entire legal code for Free Traxistan

[Rick]

I will freely admit that there are a large number of things I have never experienced in this life. There is a bit shorter list of things I never want to experience. Using an outhouse at -23F (with or without door) is very high on both lists!

[trax]

It does discourage lingering....

*Cannonman offers his humble pie to the others... here, you want some? They say it's good for you from time to time... I think it tastes like.... well, you know*

I didn't have any luck getting a hold of the instructor for the safety class... he must have had the day off. I don't suppose I will see the warden any time soon either since this week is deer season... Okay, I don't need to talk to them anyway to conceed defeat, send me your address so I can get the silver out to you and I can put this fiasco behind me!

I have an AR-7 and a Keltec SU-16, I like them both but for dependability My first choice would be one of my Ruger 10-22s. I presently have one in .22 LR and the other is in .17 Mach2. I installed Volquartsen trigger groups in both of them as well as carbon fiber barrels. This makes them both light and accurate. I am presently working on making a P-90 stock to drop one of these barreled recievers into which will greatly reduce the over-all length of the rifle. If you decide on the SU-16 , go for the CA model.

[SARKY]

As far as ammo goes, a box of Federal 550 rounds of .22LR is around $10.00 at Walmart and the box is about 2inches by 3inches by 3inches so it doesn't take up much room. I probably have 10,000 rounds on hand at any time. I am also a certified pistol instructor so I burn through a lot of this stuff eaching.

[Rick]

Just curious how you store 10,000 rounds of rim fire? I had some .22LR that was about 20 years old and about half was click with no bang!

...a Twinkie? If so, Rick might be interested.

I figure one oz. of silver at spot is $10.30 but in some denomination or one oz. round worth about $15.95 to $16.50 add in shipping. I figure you buy your son a brick of .22 Long Rifle ammo at wall mart for $17.50 on sale, and we call it all squared up.

What, you instruct pistols? To do what, shoot their mouth off? Thought you'd get a "bang" out of that one. "Sit down & listen up ya little "son-of-a-gun!"

Best 50 bucks I've spent. Except for the grips, some kind of monkey wood, will be making a new set soon.


My theory on nana booboos running over the hill, when they get to where I was, I was.

[Rick]

That's what make the Ruger Single Six so sweet. Best of both worlds.

[Pal334]

Chuckling, a lively discussion. Mmm to throw a bit of gas at the rifle question, my choice is a simple double barrel shotgun (coach gun) http://www.stoegerindustries.com/fir...coach_guns.php
simple, light, multi use. That is my nickels worth

[crashdive123]

buuuuuuuuuuut --- if you were out for a long time and had to lug around all of your ammo, would you still want the 12 ga or prefer a 22?

[tsitenha]

A .22lr please, ooohh my aching back from all those shotshells.

[Pal334]

Well,, I carried a 12 guage pump off and on for 30 years, in SEA and most recently in the sand box and numerous points in between. The coach gun is much lighter. I agree it does get " heavy", but have always liked the versatility that a 12 guage offers. Simple to use, easy to keep clean and ammunition is fairly easy to get. And it does deliver a rather satisfying Boom.

[crashdive123]

I wasn't so much thinking of the weight of the weapon, but rather the weight of - say - 5,000 rounds.
