May keep costs reasonable lol..... In all seriousness just bought it so it can ride in the backpack full time without ever being noticed, I have stumbled into enough fool hen coveys while deer hunting to talk myself into it. Little awkward to shoulder properly in the beginning but after 25-30 rounds the shoot, eject, reload & shoot routine got a lot slicker. Accuracy was pleasantly decent to boot....
Didn't know about these. Very interesting

Interesting, might have to pick one up down the road
$425 MSRP.....pass
Pretty cool.
A “pack” rifle would be a PITA for me. Easier to carry a .22 pistol in a holster....but I am a decent pistol shot. And no way I am shooting a bird while deer hunting anyway.
I have no use for a “survival” rifle. Too old and crippled up for that game.
Neat concept but useless in practical terms.

Indispensable for an Alaskan bush pilot. For me, maybe not so much. I do though admire the ingenuity.

I use an antique Stevens tip up as my survival 22lr. It weighs 10oz, about 9" long and fits about anywhere. It's fairly accurate and I have shot several grouse with it. Cost me $175.
No way I’d want one.
It's different, I will give it that. Agree with comment at that price point. The Henry survival is probably slightly more than half that cost. Good luckOriginally Posted by godzilla
Reminds me of the Bronco .22 rife that came out I think in the 60`s I Have one , it shoots good . I got it for free from a good friend . But my way of thinking is a good .22 handgun would be easy to carry. Hope it sells well for the company .
Reminds me of the Hamilton and Quackenbush toy rifles from the bad old days, no matter how well made.

Me too, $425 buys a lot of gun. If I needed something like that I believe I could make my own by cutting down and remodeling some single shot.
I should preface that the rifle is for when I'm on the north side of the border, on the Canuck side my pistols are range only toys and can't be free in the bush so this was the compromise. It certainly is a firearm that elicits only two kinds of opinions lol. The mrsp is just that, doesn't mean one paid it..... I'm happy to have something that can just stay in the day pack full time without a thought and it accounted for two Blues, a few Ruffies and a rabbit this season. YMMV but that is what makes the firearms world go round......
It's ugly, neat, has storage and has already fed you- that's what counts. We have a Rossi Matched pair with short .22 and .410 barrels and a Marlin Papoose if that need strikes but they weigh a bit more.

No packing for me, I’m going to shelter in place. Any of my friends can join me as long as they bring something to the table. Besides I’ve never quite understood the logic of a pack rifle. A takedown sure, to fit in your plane or vehicle but a rifle that is apart and wrapped up in my pack is useless. I learned years ago that if you’re going to where you plan on hunting you’re already hunting so your rifle had best be in hand and you alert because an opportunity to fill a tag or put something in your vest can appear at any time. I’ve seen bucks cross the road while everyone is jawing and eating their lunch. Critters ain’t stupid.
What would the pack rifle do that my revolver will not?
or
I paid $250 for each of those,, (but, I have had them a while,,)
I would bet the value of these pistols will go up more than the Pack Rifle,,
and, like I said, there is not much that I can not do with these pistols, that the Pack Rifle could do,,
The best thing I've found is a chamber insert for my .30/06 that allows use of .32ACP ammo. If I'm hunting with the '06 I always have it along. I have shot many ruff and Blue grouse with it. Makes less noise than .22, more like a pellet rifle. Weighs less than ANY firearm. Cost less than $20 many years ago. Wins in every category for me.
As the poster said, the pack rifle will keep him out of jail, while a pistol will not. Canadian rules.
My Dad never carried a handgun when hunting, nor did I, but those I knew who did carried a small .32, for administering the coup de grace to downed deer. One guy I knew even took a doe with his .32. Straight down from his tree stand, range about 12 feet.
Obviously the pack rifle doesn't fit that bill. It would be for small game when on extended trips in the woods. Not many men can shoot even a .22 handgun as accurately at 50 yards as they can a shoulder weapon, however rudimentary. Personally I'd still be of a mind to pack a rebarreled Favorite, though. Nostalgia.
