With my friends 77/22 we could shoot bottle caps at 100 yards all day long. Very nice rifle HD.

+ 75 on the 10/22. I just built this one up earlier this week. It seems every time I pass a Cabelas $500 jumps out of my wallet. Go figure.

Anyone have experience with the Henry Survival rifle? I like the concept of a 'packable' .22, but would not want to trade accuracy for novelty. I was looking at them a while ago and would appreciate any thoughts.

Kraz: Assassin of varmints! Nice set up, man. Love the fluted heavy barrel and thumbhole stock. Now go shoot something!


Horned, dangerous, and off my medication.

I had the original Armalite AR-7 version. It shot pretty well. It was the US Air Force survival rifle. It floats. Marlin has a Papoose takedown I like better. That is a specialty gun. James Bond used one in one of his movies. I like Henry's lever action better.

Thanks for the feedback HD. The Marlin looks like a good option as well.

I remember seeing the Henry model for around $100 a few years ago and now they are around $200. [censored].

Have you looked at Springfield's survival rifle. Would love to pick up one of these.

What do you think of the Marlin Papoose .22 for a survival rifle?

I have owned two Papooses and they were quite accurate. I was able to find 25 rd mags for them, too. They are good little rifles.

A friend of mine has a Papoose that is threaded for a suppressor. Neat and accurate little rifle. I held one of the AR-7 survival rifles today, and did not warm up to it at all.
