    In that case back to the 223 baikal break neck / take down. Chop it, and hack the stock.

    Are you happy with open sights for this pack rifle?

    Oh, and pls tell Dougie that rifle better have some scratches on it when it gets back to Welly

    Don't know about the rifle, but Dougie had a good dose of scratches on the pins.

    Baikal for sure, cheap enough to have as a spare or back up, accurate enough to do the business.
    Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience.

    An infection that spread by fluid transfer, and caused its victims to become aggressive and unstable is entirely possible.

    I think dismissing zombie apocalypse entirely is a little short sighted, given that its not outside the realm of possibility.
    While it's theoretically possible, such an infection resulting in a widespread epidemic and a 'SHTF' scenario is ludicrously unlikely, and obsessing over shooting the victims of such an unfortunate sickness makes you look like A Fucking Nutbar, because you are.

    Agreed, "zombies" seems to be a wet dream for shooters as opposed to hunters to justify their latest tacticool gear purchase.

    There have been numerous SHTF events around the world including events like Christchurch which demonstrate how well the rest of the community, country and world come together and help out, running round with a gun just isn't required. I would be more worried about water purification and storage devices, it takes weeks to starve to death but only days to dehydrate.

    I'm a hunter and a shooter and I own lots of things that could be described as tactical and I think the zombie thing is the dumbest shit. I'd refrain from generalisations

    So what calibre could theoretically be made the lightest?

    A 223 ?

    A 22LR I guess.

    But if you wanted something small with some grunt a 22 Terminator springs to mind
    Contact me for reloading components, brass, projectiles, powder, primers, etc

    I have decided on a .223 with 55g Gamekings for this and will talk to Scott at SSRNZ.CO.NZ asap about an alloy receiver build.

    How about a Thompson Contender? Seriously small, single shot 223. Put a pistol forend on, chop barrel to minimum length, flute barrel for extra weight savings.
