Thread: Lightest weight survival rifle

As for survival rifles I guess we have to ask 7mm the context of "survival rifle"
Is it just the recently coined term for ultra simple/light firearm or an actual survival tool?
You can go at least a week without food(going buy my ab(singular) I and most others could go a lot more)
If you are not injured enough to still be able to move(to pick up the wood pigeon or possum you shot) you are going to make your way out or into a recoverable position.
Survival= Water,food,shelter, warmth. excluding of course complications of injury. Food you can do without as above.
The most important survival item in NZ IMHO is the ability to light a fire.(I have been there)

Then there is a nice light compact rifle you can take when fishing or just incase, which is cool
