Jim243. I have that same stock and like it. Feels pretty solid for such a trim thing.
Looking at available 10/22 parts, the lightest stock I've seen is the Blackhawk Axiom, and the lightest barrels may be the Tactical Solutions offerings. Put Tech-Sight peep sights on and you could have an ergonomically friendly, semi-auto gun with hi-capacity at less than 4 pounds.
The stock is collapsible and the barrel is 16", so it could be pretty compact as well. Clearly not as tiny as the specialty "survivor" rifles, but it would handle like a "real gun" and if I needed to take deer-sized game or defend myself from anything, I'd feel much better with something other than a single shot.

Not disputing that it's possible at all, but the pictures don't look like they were taken in a "survival situation." It just strikes me as a little odd that one would choose that gun for a lion hunt.Quote:
Are we to believe the kid posing with his packrifle and a good sized mountain lion actually killed the animal with that gun?Why not, if you look close it was done with a head shot. I can take a deer down with a bullet through the ears and deer are larger animals. This is a survival thread no? Not saying I would go hunting with a survival rifle unless I had no other option.
