Ruger 10-22. Tons of parts, many guns out there because the gun has been around for a number of years.

Are you talking about an AR7 type rifle?

i like the fact that it all folds down and holds ammo in the stock...small, packable, and simple are what your looking for.

You can pick up a Henry Repeating arms AR7 for about $180 probably need it special ordered.

Drive right down the street to Midcounty Gunshop. Mike is great to deal with and will certainly hook you up.
PM him or look up his contact info in the "Industry Partners" section.

Along same lines conssider Marlin Papoose. When stowed in the included case will float. Not quite as compact as AR 7 , but the AR 7 has a checkered reputation for reliability, the Marlin uses the same basic action as M 60, etc. While my Papoose doesn't have the milage of my 60, but it has been 100 % reliable, and decent accuracy.

Gotta throw my old chestnut out. I love my Savage 24 in .22lr over 20 gauge. A little heavier than a 10/22 or a papoose, but it breaks down easily, looks ugly as hell so nobody would think of stealing it, and is versatile.

Gun Connection may still have an AR7 in stock. It was there earlier this week.

These are great and classic weapons but in a true survival situation nobody wants to carry a 10 lb rifle through rough country. Considering that lack of food/water takes its toll very quickly. To me I think of survival as "if my plane went down somewhere in the middle of Alaska" type of situation. But they are all around more useful because of the shotgun barrel.

I think Armo lite (spelling ?) made a gun that packed into the stock. barrel and all. Very cool i had one but gone along the way.

Get the AR-7. Light, stores in stock and floats! These were made by several manafacturers, and mags not completly interchangable between them, but all 'flavors' are available.
This is a Stoner design, so it must be kept clean to be reliable, and don't bang the mags around. That said, since the gun stores in 3 pieces in the stock it is protected from dirt/abuse, and takes all of 20 seconds to assemble. If you put a light coat of auto 'dielectric grease' on the seal where the but cap fits on the stock, the parts stored inside will be water and dust proofed, you can throw it under the seat in the pickup ,john boat or your backpack. It even has a 'scope rail.

I've never seen a papoose in person. What's the build quality like? Is it better than the Henry?

Does anyone make a break down .223 or .308 for <$1000?

ETA: ok, I think I need one of these...

There's a Kel-Tec carbine that folds up rather small, SU-16 I think it is.

just saw a used papoose at the gun show for $300, had a nicesoft case, stainless gun with like 10 mags. It was hard to walk away from.
