When the chips are down and without a moments notice what bug out guns, pocket rifles or survival rifles do you have? These rifles fits the SHTF scenario where you need a compact rifle that can be broken down and stored in your day pack, truck or even in your hidden cache.

Just so you know, these survival rifles we’re talking about is not a personal defense gun like the AK’s or fully equipped M4 (AR-15). Our main goal is about taking this out to the field when needed during a dire situation to hunt small game for survival.

There are many rifles on the market that are perfect for survival purposes, but we decided to narrow it down to these for SHTF.

Savage Arms Model 24 Combination Gun
The beauty of this rifle is its ability to shoot in single-shot or as a shotgun. There are different models available, look into a Model 24C (Camper) which you can store your ammo in the stock. To switch from rifle to shotgun is just a barrel change. Some models can shoot .22 S/L/LR, 22 WMR, .30-30, .357 even .223. Shotgun tubes included are .410, 20-gauge and even a 12-gauge.

Henry Arms U.S. Survival AR-7 Rifle
this 22LR can be used for self-defense and its a boss at hunting small game as well. This semi-automatic rifle can be broken down to main components and housed inside the stock. This all around survival rifle is reliable and durable that can last a long time.

Ruger 10/22 Takedown Silent SR Suppressed Rifle
Another great manufacturer that understands what their customers want, that is suppressed. This suppressed 10/22 rifle can be broken down and store in your bug out bag or truck. You can hunt small game with this rifle without the loud bang. Read the rest of this Survival Rifles.

And the added bonus of the detachable butt stock being a machete

That does seem pretty nice, of course, if its a shape that actually works. So many things don’t actually do anything once theyre designed to do everything. Still, I think Id like to try an Americanized version.

How fast is a follow-up shot with your setup?

Okay, now you're just trying to save face. I've already said firepower is the airgun's weak point.

Why you would care about that, only needing one head shot and all, I've yet to figure out. But hey, party on with your bad self!

Will do.

Frangibles in a deer's cranium scramble their brains pretty good.

Why you'd give up follow-up speed and availability of ammo varieties is beyond me, but it's your choice.

The SU16 is a crap rifle the ones I shot would not group under 6 inches at a 100 yards.

Kel tec comes up with some great ideas but the execution of them is lacking.

That may be YOUR experience, but MANY reviews of them on YouTube.com are experiencing groups of 1-and-a-half MOA and less.
