Bug Out Gear

Speaking of 22.

I talked to someone about surviving the apocalypse many years ago with a so called expert and the premise was that you would want to avoid close encounters and hand-to-hand combat at all costs. Keep your distance from all and everyone is the enemy.

He suggested that the best tool to own in a worlds end scenario was the most reliable 22 rifle you could get with bags and bags of 22 ammo. Ruger 10/22.

Remember during the apocalypse a shot with a 22 to somebody’s stomach etc from 100 yards away is the end.
They may not die right away, but they are done and they will not pursue you.

In the apocalypse a wound equals infection and death.

I concur.

Since reading this I started looking at Ruger 10/22 take downs and I was wondering from those you that have this gun if you have issues with keeping zero? Seems like if you put a bipod or something on it the gun would flex? Anyone experience such issues?

The other cool thing about the 10/22...the mod list is infinite!!! You csn litetally turn one into anything you want within reason. Tons of aftermarket parts. Chassis, bbls, etc etc etc

Excellent question. I don’t have a takedown version, just an og one from many years ago. I wondered this too, if it would maintain zero after removing the barrel, then reinstalling. Presuming the lockup/fitment is pretty precise. I would think with good optics it shouldn’t be an issue, unless you are removing the optics. I would still periodically check zero as some guys report it doesn’t maintain zero and others do report it holds zero. Too many factors with rimfire ammo, qc ain’t the greatest.

Since 1959 the venerable AR-7 has been the choice of U.S. Air Force pilots who need a small-caliber rifle they can count on should they have to punch out over a remote area. Through the years the AR-7's reputation for portability, ease of operation and reliability has carried over to the...

I have two Ruger 10/22's. Both need to be zeroed in upon re assembly. Never of by much though. Three to five rounds good to go.

Just to be clear for the drunk guy in the back, are you talking about the 10/22TD or the standard 10/22 after breaking it all the way down???

Thanks to this thread I went and got both. The take down has a suppressed barrel for purchase that's in my near future.
