Pack/Survival Rifle

Who carries a lightweight 22 like the Henry Survival or Chiappa Little Badger for small game while out?

I picked up a little badger in 22WMR thinking that it would be awesome, but that little bastard is heavy! I will continue to carry a Ruger 22 pistol for that type of work.

 

[Rich M]

Some folks carry a .22 handgun.

 

[FLAK]

I been wanting a Lil Badger 22 mag.

Ruger 22/45 lite with suppressor for me.

Ruger 22/45 lite with suppressor for me.

This is the answer. A micro red dot sight and an after market trigger would help.

scoped mk 111,
sure am eyeing one of the new lites. they feel awesome.

 

[Oldffemt]

I’ve reworked the trigger, eliminated the mag disconnect and a few other little mods. Haven’t gotten a micro red dot yet. Too many projects!

i would rather have a small long gun but the ruger does well enough. it would be awesomer if it was legal with an added stock!

I'm the same.

The KelTec CMR30 would make a great survival rifle and if you wanted to go with a pistol instead the KelTec PRM30 is great. I've had my PMR30 for quite awhile and it's not only very accurate but it's a lot of fun to shoot. A couple of spare mags along with one in the gun and you've damn neat got 100rnds of fire power at your fingertips.

If you wanted more compact you could SBR the CMR30 and shorten the barrel. With them having a collapsible stock they already shrink down to 22 inches and if you cut a few inches off the barrel and made it an SBR they'd really be compact.

Ruger charger with a pistol brace adapter would fit that bill fairly well.

I've got the ruger 22/45 lite and a thunderbeast on the way for it. the little badger looks like a neat idea though.

Anyone tried to reduce the weight of them? If so, how light were you able to get it?

 

[MattB]

My daughter's Cricket rifle seems like it would fit the bill, very light weight but only a single shot.

 

[Runningwater]

I've been using the Ruger 22/45 lite without a suppressor for several years. Also have an old Ruger single six with some good blue grouse karma but the 22/45 is lighter if backpacking.

These things are pretty legit at under a pound.

 

[goat2244]

Those are pretty cool. I’d like to find one in stock

even cooler if they came with a threaded barrel, but that doesn't appear to be the case.
