After much study I’m convinced the role survival rifle is best filled by modern medium to large bore air rifles.
Energy on target rivals that of the .22. They are legal to suppress without government interference. The ammunition weights only a fraction of rifle cartridges. And finally, accessories, as well as the rifles themselves, are usually MUCH more economical.
I love air rifles.. But it seems something about them is always in need of repair..
In a survival situation, I don't know....

What would you recommend?
10-22 with an assortment of ammo is ideal, in my opinion. From Velocitors, to souped up lightweight bullets like Stingers or Quik-Shoks, to frangible rounds as silent as an air rifle, but much more powerful, and detachable magazines that make changing fast and easy.
