Best Survival Rifle?

[Averageman]

I had a nice 30-30 Savage I gave to my Mom for S/D.
I would like to find another, can anyone help me?

Well....

I picked up a new Ruger made Marlin 1894 in .357! SWEET lil' carbine!

Ruger has done Marlin name VERY well!

Sadly...I can't find any flat or soft point .357 locally so am ordering some cowboy action ammo and will provide a range report!

If any previous posters want to chime in with thoughts and tips I'd love to hear!

Thanks!

Sounds like a really nice carbine you chose. I have a JM 1894C and enjoy that thing greatly. It'll drop deer, that's for sure. The 158gr Buffalo Bore are my "go-to" rounds for serious business.

I'm sure yours will suit you quite well.

The twist rate is 1/16" in the Rossi's I believe, not optimal .

Do you reload? I ordered 2K of these for both my Henry 357 and my S&W 627 revolver. https://www.precisiondelta.com/produ...ith-cannelure/

Nope...I'm full time RV'er and not enough space or time to reload.

If I ever plant myself somewhere I'll pick it up.

Thanks for the tip.

I ADORE my .44 mag levergun. My FAVE thing about it: it's a rifle, but I still buy boxes of 50 and not 20!

The new Henry 300 blackout lever gun is worth a look. Not sure if the threaded muzzle is ok in the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia

OP already bought what he originally wanted.

These threads make me wonder why they’re even posted. Seek advice on a product, ignore opinions contrary to original desires, and buy originally desired product.
