[QUOTE="bpatterson, post: 334531, member: 18554"] These firearms are nice, but it suprises me that there is not more mention of a .22 rifle, or several. In a SHTF situation, practicality is everything. This isnt to say a good battle rifle and defensive pistol arent necessary. BUT.... .22 suppressed or unsuppressed is a quiet rifle. I dont want to attract attention, and a big boom stick is going to flag me as having goodies and a fresh kill. Ammo is small and easy to carry. .22 is also a hell of a meat getter. Nothing within 100 yds is safe, even beyond if you do your homework, but headshots are critical on anything larger than a dog. I have shot plenty of hogs in the head, with a hog on the ground instantly afterward, it is undeniably a meat getter. The rifles are light. The ammo is cheap, which makes it very easy to stock up on. The .22 should not be overlooked. [/QUOTE]
