Ruger 10/22 Takedown

A Versatile and Concealable Firearm for When SHTF

Recently on our Facebook page, we asked what your go-to SHTF gun is, and many of you said a 22-caliber rifle. We’ve always liked the Ruger 10/22 for its simplicity and versatility, but if you want to take it one step further, the 10/22 takedown model is a great choice for a survival weapon. It can easily be broken down and concealed, or transported in your bug-out bag.

YouTube user hickok45 posted the following video of the Ruger 10/22 takedown model, and the intro to the video really proves our point on concealment. The 10/22 fits effortlessly into his belt, and within seconds, it’s assembled and ready to fire.

If you haven’t decided on a dedicated survival weapon, try out the 10/22 takedown. Or, if you’ve already chosen something else, let us know in the comments below!
