There are those who say that a rifle in .22 LR is the ideal survival firearm. You can kill small game with it, it can be effective against people within limits,easy to shoot, it's accurate and many of the guns are light and dependable. Aslo you can have a fair amount of ammo on your person and not be weighted down like say a couple hundred .22 rounds vs 200 .30-06 rounds.
My feeling is whatever gun you have with you in a survival situation (we'll assume you have ammo as well) is better than nothing at all. But I've never been in The Grey so I don't know.
