The Other Survival Rifle

It's not as sexy as, say, an LM308MWSE, but if you are ever in a survival situation there is one weapon you can count on day after day to supply your small game needs, provide decent defense, and have nearly endless ammo all wrapped up in a 5lb. package. I am talking, of course, about the Ruger 1022. The rifle that many of us cut our teeth on makes an excellent survival gun. Overall length is 37", weight is a low 5lb., and the magazine holds 10 rounds. It is relatively quiet, and is not a big target for theft or harassment. In any mass survival scenarios, the big game gets dropped first, making a rifle like this one quite useful.
