Hi, I recently decided as to a series of observations and consideration that I should most likely stock up on ammunition, food and weapons. So I began my search for a personal weapon that would meet the need for my above criteria. I am not worried anything will happen just want to be prepared; I go by that little sentence (Better safe than sorry). So after research upon research I have found that my best bet is actually a Ruger 10/22 with Buttler Creek folding stock and a stock pile of steel lips 25 round magazines. I plan on buying a lot of them , all for me to put in a big safe and not touch unless something big happens. I want to see people opinions on the 10/22 I am have three already and know a lot about them but want to see them related to military type applications. My own observations would show that they are quite, very low to no recoil at all, ammo being cheap and abundant, accuracy, high ammo capacity, large availability in the United States and very deadly. I have shot more than one coyote with one and they have in some cases lost whole limbs, the 22 cal bullet is no matter to joke with, it may not kill on point of contact but can kill especially with hollow point ammo. SO what do you think about a 10/22 as a (SHTF) rifle?
