I have one of the savage tactical 22s and love it. Very accurate for a budget rifle. Makes me want a suppressor to go along with it!

Another vote for the classic 10/22. A good used one and several bricks of ammo won't set you back a ton.

Appreciate all the feedback. I know its less than optimal for hogs but that is probably the most unlikely scenario I would face. May get the beretta just for kicks and pack it sometimes in the hog free areas! At least it would be a gun and caliber that all members of my family could handle.

I for one am a big fan of all things zombies, including a lot of the guns, ammo, accessories, etc. That being said, I don't foresee the walking dead banging down my front door anytime soon. As others have said, its a passtime and may very well fade as other fads have done. No need to get riled...

The hog scenario is based on one area my family hikes and camps in. Its a long shot to even see one but I would say there is always the chance of an encounter of a sow and piglets. Would say maybe a 10 % chance at best. Dogs and yotes and meth heads are a more likely concern and I think 380...

Rossi made a fine little pump 22 lr styled after the winchesters. I have a breakdown model that stays in my emergency gear in my car along with a brick of ammo. Its one accurate little booger and easy to disassemble and put into a backpack. I believe they made a full size version as well. See...

Yeah, I have a glock 17 for real defense. The 380 is just so mild recoiling I thought it might be something that all my family could easily handle. Plus I just love the look of them!

In a recent Gun Digest, they had several articles focusing on survival guns. One was a reprint from years ago featuring the Beretta 84 in 380 acp as being part of any outdoorsmans survival kit. I have always liked these guns and have been looking for an excuse to get one. Now maybe I can...

Why not charge each gangbanger with a year per shell casing found? As far as medical care goes, plug the wound and lock them up. Why should law abiding citizens pay for the damage caused by these idiots?

I liked season one before fame got a hold on them. Could really have done without all the soap-opera-worthy drama between the daughter and Kris. But at least they aren't charging a kings ransom for a field grade 870 like the putzes on American Guns.

I bought two from a dealer last year who ordered them for a customer who never picked them up. I got the pair for 300 delivered to my ffl. Neither were beauty queens but both were scary accurate with 158 gr round nose. Wound up giving one to my aunt since she lives in the middle of nowhere and...

Thanks Water-Man. I live in the Walker County area and hogs are starting to show up from the Whitfield and Gordon County areas. Like I stated above, I know the likelihood of a hog or bear attack is very rare but I take every precaution I can when it comes to my kids. I would never have thought...

Thanks for all the replies guys. They have been very helpful. I think I might purchase a compact 357 in the near future and rely on my glock until then. Probably going to keep my 12 ga shotgun in camp. I realize that the chances of an attack are very remote, but just like wearing my seatbelt or...

Hello all. My son and I have begun to camp and do a little hiking together on a mountian near where we live. I typically carry a glock 17 or my little Smith and Wesson 422 22lr pistol to deal with coyotes and wild dogs and venomous snakes if necessary. Over the last several years the feral hog...

SNS I use a titan 25 auto as my tackle box gun. 65 bucks and that included a zippered pouch and two full boxes of shells. No worries if this one falls in the pond or gets muddy. I will just rinse it off and throw a little oil on it and back in the box it goes!
