Why is the writing so atrocious on this blog? Honestly, I can’t make it through the first paragraph of one of their articles without throwing in the towel.
A .22 pellet rifle would be invaluable and a tin of 500 pellets is only around $9
Would not trade our Ruger 10-22.
My dad, when he was alive, used to poach deer with a .22LR to put food on our table. So, it isn’t recommended and probably not legal for anything other than small game, but in a SHTF situation, it will do.
Marlin 60
My favorite .22 is a Springfield ‘03 used for training for the .306 Springfield ‘03. My other favorite is a Winchester Model 61 pump .22.

I adopted an old (1989) Feather Industries AT-22 as my plinker and bottle killer.
It came with a heavy barrel, five 20rd magazines, and the best thing about it is that disassembly only requires unscrewing by hand the front and rear of the rifle.
The barrel easily slides out the front and the parts slide out the rear. It’s the easiest thing to clean!

And my AT-22 is much more accurate at 100 yards.
I have a model 67 Winchester that my grandfather bought to teach my mom and aunts how to shoot about 80 years ago. When the extended family goes out shooting, this is the one that everyone wants to shoot.
