M6 Scout

One such tool is the Air Force M6 Scout survival rifle. The M6 is a bare-bones 22 lr rifle and 410 shotgun combination that breaks down into three pieces only about 18-inches long. Such a small pack is easy to store for emergency.

The M6 Scout is an over and under with the top barrel firing a 22 long rifle rim fire cartridge while the lower barrel fires a .410 shot gun shell. The rifle butt stores plenty of additional ammo. The perfect combination to put food on the table.

If you can't get an M6 Scout then try looking for a Savage Model 42. It shares most of the same features, but is still produced today.

Henry AR7

Another great survival rifle is the semi automatic Henry AR7. This rifle breaks down and fits into the watertight stock, along with plenty of ammo. It only weighs 3.5 pounds, carries two clips. There is an iron sight on the front and an adjustable rear sight. Both rifles are quite inexpensive and a must when faced with a possible survival situation in the wilderness.
