Purpose Built .22

[Blayglock]

Do many of your have a purpose built .22 for foraging and what-not during a disaster. If so, what is your setup?

[SteveS]

What do you think would be required for a purpose built 22? A very interesting thought!!!

I have a TacSol X-ring factory gun (10/22 pattern) with a 3-9 Leupold.


With subsonics it makes less noise than my RWS pellet gun.

There's this for lightweight packing. It uses a Crickett .22 as a donor action. Not a bad idea to throw in a BOB, and certainly useful for getting game.

Pack rifle kit.

I have a stainless 10/22 with a folding stock and a Nikon 3-9x40. Plus, I put a Volquartsen hammer kit in which made the trigger pull a lot smoother.

This is what I would use to forage for food if times became desperate.

this would be better if they would offer the stock kit without the barrel and let it work with the factory barrel. i would imagine it could be DIY'd fairly easy.

I have 2 sons and I got a 10/22 for each when they were born. I have a stainless 10/22 with a 18" barrel with a Bushnell 2x8 and a Compact 10/22 16" barrel with a Bushnell 1x4. Great little guns. I also have several mags for each. They are good for small game and also to teach my kids how to shoot.

High Tower and I decided to build these "sister" guns a while back. They turned out great. We also used the TacSol base and rings. The folding stock is the stainless Butler Creek.
I have not coughed up the money yet for the Volquartsen but have played with HT's and it makes a huge difference on trigger pull.

Our criteria was:
-Reliability
-High Capacity if needed
-Able to conserve ammo (hence the 3-9 optic with .22LR BDC reticule)
-Light weight
-Easily packable
-Affordable

Pretty much in that order.

What are your thoughts on the TacSol rifles? I was contemplating going this route and getting the threaded barrel to mount a suppressor

EDIT: My reason for looking at these is just to buy the "upgraded" rifle already and not having to swap out a bunch of parts which is what I see a lot of people doing with the 10/22 to customize them.
