15.5 oz .22

[Camomutt]

Does anyone have experience with the .22 pack-rifle? Its 15.5 oz and looks like it would be handy for grouse on 1-3 day trips. Thoughts?

S&W 317 is lighter. Think its 11oz.

I don't think our brothers in Canada can hunt with the "evil" handguns!!

Thats right BRobertson. If you own a handgun it can only be at your house or at the range or transporting in between those points. And you have to let the cops know when your taking it to the range.

That's not true, you just need the correct permit and you can take it to the range whenever you want.
Cool looking rifle though

No experience but now I want one - Thanks?

 

[Camomutt]

Haha Ohio... I'm thinking of selling my 10-22 for this.

Are you talking about the Ruta Locura pack rifle? I have one if so I can tell a little about.

Just picked up a 10/22 takedown with a carbon volquartsen barrel but now I need this. Fml

Pretty cool looking gun,
especially for folks that are limited by the types of weapons that are permitted for hunting. Would make a good ptarmigan getter.
Although a sling shot works good for that!!

I have one. It’s nice and light. It is picky about ammo when it comes to accuracy.....but it shoots blazer pretty straight. The trigger is pretty crude, but it gets the job done. It’s a single shot rifle so you have to make every shot count.
I carry this little rifle with a box of blazer pretty much everywhere. It lives in my pack...and I hardly ever notice it. I took it to Adak and killed a bunch of ptarmigan with it. I’ve taken hooters around Southeast, AK with it.
I like it.

Todd, that's exactly what I was looking for. I used a slingshor on my sheep hunt, and 4 out of 4 grouse got away.

I killed a lot of ptarmigan and quite a few grouse( spruce hens) in my well spent youth with a wrist rocket and marbles!! maybe it was the
marbles that did the trick!!??

But can it accept a suppressor??

I just use the subsonic low velocity .22 rounds. They are less noisy than my kids pellet guy.

 

[mik0027]

How many rounds does the pack rifle hold?

 

[Rs3003]

This is what I carry for the casual small game sighting while big game hunting. It’s 9oz. 22lr/22m https://northamericanarms.com/shop/firearms/naa-1860-6c/

 

[sbsyncro]

Apparently it also converts to a fishing rod! Haha. It’s almost worth it just for that!
