I built this year's ago from a $50 pawnshop Springfield model 120 single shot. I modified the stock so I could remove the action and barrel (held in with a single, knurled screw) & reverse them in the stock. I cut the barrel down to 16" & significantly reduced the stock. It packs down to around 20" & weighs a hair over 3lb. The sights are super primitive, but minute of skwerl head at 30yds.
It's rough as a badger's arse the days as its lived in my truck toolbox for about 10years, but it's eliminated a fair few small critters & one really unlucky little pig.

Would you be kind enough to link me to these?

Would have to piece it together. The single shot action makes the rifle very compact

The savage Rascal is cheap enough, single shot, with an ejector. You could do something like robtattoo has done above, or modify the stock to use a side folding stock with a lightweight wire buttstock. I have been thinking about doing the same thing.

find an old Marlin 39a, a worthy .22. Breaks in half with one screw you can loosen with a coin

Thanks for all the help!

I'll add one to the mix...Savage 42 take down available in 22lr or 22magnum with 410 barrel underneath...combo gun that's kinda homely but would fit your needs.

Rossi pump...super fun guns.

The ar7 can be used as a one single shot if you remove the mag and manually feed. But it is a bit awkward and probably more expensive and finicky than other single shooters.

It is nice and light and packs down nice into the stock.
