This one is my favorite grab and go gun. Springfield M6 Scout Survival Rifle. While it's only single shot it folds to fit in a backpack, it has a .22lr and a .410 over/under setup that weighs almost nothin. Small enough for the kids to love it, useful enough for me to love it. It holds 4 shotgun rounds and 15 .22 rounds in the stock, so I need nothing else if I want to bugout (or stow it in the airplane for survival). I've got a red-dot on mine, one of these days I'm going to try and fabricate a 3 or 4 power detachable zoom for it.
A bit more info on the scout HERE:






These two are my Marlin 880SS. 3x9x?? Scope is kinda cheap but a very accurate gun. Sorry for quality of these.




Finally, my newest toy. A Smith and Wesson 22A. Forgive the target pic, just a little proud of my wifes' 2nd target from the first time she's ever fired a gun, using the 22A. She managed it with little trembling hands. (of course after a little coaching from yours truly)

JD, I have that same exact rifle in .17HMR. Mine is topped with a Tasco 6-24x40 Varmint scope. Very accurate. Will be taking it out in January to West Tx to help my friends clear jackrabbits on their ranch.

Ha, well good point about defense there - but I wouldn't ever feel "well armed" with a .22, regardless of my skill with it - I'd be afraid of perforating the attacking BG with lots of little holes, and not stopping the threat.

I've been tempted to try some mags designed for different weapons, many look like they'd fit. You can find actual Hi-Standard magazines on auctionarms, etc.. but they cost a pretty penny.

Thanks :) I once got it appraised at a little over $1,500 but that was a couple years back. I couldn't part with it for anything under 10 times that, because of the story behind it, and how attached to it I am. ... Well OK, maybe 5 times that :)

However, since it's such a nice piece and I intend to hang onto it for a long damn time, I should invest a few bucks in it and have it professionally re-blued, a ramp job, some new mags, etc... Does anyone know a qualified smith to work on an antique target piece? Thanks.

Peace,
Pete Zaria.

I wish the cycling was a little more smooth, and the mags were held in place a little tighter, but other than that I love this thing.

Have fun out on the ranch, my usual targets for the .17 are clay pigeons on edge at 100-150 yards, each pigeon will take about 3 or 4 hits before they bust. I actually bought mine to help a co-worker with a ground hog problem, never got to solve that one though.

Have fun with them wrascally wabbits!

Chris, I've lost count and memory of your collection! That's a very well rounded out collection of rimfires.

If you ever decide to let that single six go, give me a holler.

I also wished the cycling was a little smoother and the trigger a little lighter, but I have less than 50 rnds thru it. I figure it will smoothen out with more use. I bought mine after I tried my friend's at the ranch, I took out 2 jackrabbits with headshots at 70+ yds, they fell rite there. That was my first experience shooting the .17HMR also, very eye opening.

Will do John but - tho I shoot it rarely it is a nice piece, very traditional, fun with the .22 mag cylinder too - only downside (lazy-butt talkin) - as with any SA and loading gate - slow to load and unload.

utarch00 ..... The 22/45 is fitted with the Bushnell Trophy red dot - it has four reticles, small dot, large dot, cross and dot in circle. It has a 30mm tube and this is good for the So-Low mounts which I like.

The Muzzle brake deal is a Volquartsen add-on .... does add a smidgeon of weight but not a lot.

The other main change I made was fitting a Volquartsen extractor - it is sharper cut and makes for better reliability - this gun likes Fed Champion ammo best.

I got no pics of my gear, but I can at least brag...
NEF .17HM2 w/ bull barrel and 4x18x50 airgun scope.
Ruger 10/22 with a rebuilt 2.5 lb trigger, moly coated inside the receiver. a green mountain fluted bull barrel with quik disconnects for the BSA red dot scope and airgun scope.
stubby bull barrelled Ruger 45/22 that is too accurate for me to shoot.

I don't have a very good picture of this gun (need to rectify that) but this is the pre runner of many of the "survival guns". The Stevens 22-410. Forefather of the Savage Model 24 and the M6 scout. And is 22 LR over .410 shot gun with early Tenite stock. Circa 1940 or so. The first of these mixed breeds.
