Goat culling in my teenage years was hard on .22 rimfires, usually the extractor failure preceded the accuracy decline but the result was always the same, into the offal hole it went.
For some strange reason I had a run of lakefields and sterlings, and only one AR-7 which was on loan from my father, it has a plastic hollow stock that the action and barrel fitted into. Apparently it floated.
I progressed to modified Remington Targetmasters to remove all the weight, and made alloy skeleton stocks for them. The single shot platforms were reliable, but had the Marlin "Papoose" been around that would have been the bizzo.
I used my model 7's (saum's) for rafting and motorbike riding, they easily fit in a pack and are small.
Has anyone here any pics or ideas for a lightest weight "survival" type rifle, .22 or otherwise ?
