As this thread has developed, I am wondering what we respectively believe the task is for the "Survival Rifle" we are considering. It occurred to me that my choice was made by considerations not expressed in my post.

Let me now state some of the considerations that informed my choice. Hopefully others will do the same to help each of us make optimal choices for our specific needs.

I am a private pilot with a lapsed medical planning on renewing my medical and resuming flying. I recently attended a seminar sponsored by the FAA on survival. It turns out that many of us silk scarf types land and survive on other than paved runways. Many who survive the landing do not survive until rescue because of lack of survival skills and lack of knowledge to inform their decisions.

When flying in a small private plane, weight and form factor are critical. A survival rifle is primarily needed for food although self defense is not to be unappreciated.

Thus my choice of the Henry AR-7. Other's view would be appreciated.
