I do not know my .22 rifles. By a 'SHTF .22', I am looking for a reasonably accurate .22 rifle for hunting small game. It would be nice if it can, in a pinch, go a little while between cleanings while still functioning. Certainly, it does not need to be life-or-death reliable, like a defense weapon. I would like the ability to mount a scope on it. The option of getting it with a synthetic stock would be nice. I do not want a single-shot.
If the rifle is small-ish, light weight, folding, or otherwise easy to carry, that's a nice bonus too. I don't have a lot to spend lately, so I'm looking for one of the "best deals" types of rifles. Maybe I can get two recommendations - a good accurate .22 and another that has the benefit of folding if sacrificing accuracy? Can it be kept under or around $300?
Thanks.
ETA: I guess people have not read my post following this one. I do not want a single-shot .22. This gun should be capable as a fun range gun too. That's a lot of the reason I want to be able to mount a scope. I do like the simplicity of a bolt action.
ETA again: Ok, can we narrow some options down? What would be a bolt action .22, capable of mounting a scope, good accuracy (~2MOA or less), with more than 5 shots (10+ would be great)???? Oh, and around/under $300? Definitely want to attach a sling and a little smaller is better (under 40" OAL would be good).
