This survival rifle can be a big help during critical times. Want to know more about this ideal weapon? You need to read on for more details. This is one survival weapon you need.
A survival rifle is typically a minimalist rifle that can be broken down and stored in a vehicle, boat, aircraft or backpack and brought to use as a “last resort” firearm for taking wild game.This is something to have when you may need it most.
The concept of a survival rifle goes back to World War II. Pilots who were shot down but survived behind enemy lines were mostly lucky to have a revolver or maybe even an M1911A1.
One of the first answers to these was the M4 Survival Rifle, made by Harrington & Richardson with a 14-inch barrel and wire collapsible stock. These were chambered in 22 Hornet and stowed under the pilot’s seat. combination.
In the 1950s, Eugene Stoner of Armalite came up with the AR-5, a takedown bolt-action rifle chambered in 22 Hornet and all the components were stored in the rifle’s butt stock. The Air Force never picked it up in an official capacity, but the research and development enabled Armalite to improve the idea and develop a semiautomatic 22 LR version for the civilian market.
By making the majority of the rifle from aluminum, Stoner was able to reduce the weight dramatically.
If you have been intrigued by these rifles and are thinking about one or two for your preps, I recommend Henry’s version, first. It was made with all the right upgrades and it is relatively inexpensive. If you’re looking at a used rifle, I would recommend Armalite or AR-7 Industries over the versions by Charter/Survival Arms.
With quality magazines and quality ammunition, these rifles work as intended. The other half of the problem may be over their use. That is, these were never meant to be taken to the range every weekend to see how fast you could burn up a brick of 22 rim fire. I like to think of them in the same way I think of the “mini spare” tire in a car.
Looks like these rifles can make a difference during an emergency. Just remember to keep safety in mind. While having a weapon is important during times of survival, being practical and level headed is key.

Not weapons, tools.
The action and barrel appears to be a rifle, not a shotgun.
So what shotgun is i the thumbnail?
Toz-106 cant get them in America unfortunately. http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2016/07/07/toz-106-survival-bolt-action-short-barreled-shotgun/
There’s plenty of bolt action shotguns, however I agree looks like a 30 carbine paratrooper
and the magazine appears 30 cal.
It’s a 22. We aren’t retarded
They haven’t been making bolt action shotguns in years as far as I know.
It is comparably important to mention that carrying a large rifle or shotgun such as this one is a bad idea in a bug out situation not only does it bring attention to you but it also makes you a huge Target a good idea for something like this is to leave at your bug-out destination or HQ and if must carry a concealed pistol or revolver

Lame AF. No mention at all about any “compact shotgun”. Only talks about AR7s. Irritating.
Was this article actually about shotguns?
They still make them occasionally,(bolt action shotguns), they’re just hard to find
Yea but the bolt action ones nowadays are single shot. No magazine
This is garbage. I can’t find anything in the article to tell me what the survival shotgun IS. All I can find is an additional link to the Henry survival rifle (which jams and is junk). What’s the shotgun in the photo?
Slug guns have a 3 round magazine, still considered a shotgun.
16 gauge mossberg holds 2 in the magazine plus one chambered.
TOZ-106 Bolt Action Shotgun 20ga made in Russia.
But you can tell by the choke on the barrel front it’s a shotgun. The one pictures in the original post has a rifle front sight.
