1 pound takedown 22LR pack rifle
Reading the post about Chiappa releasing their version of the M6 scout, I was reminded of an Ultra-lightweight, takedown rifle I read about recently.
It is made of aluminum/carbon fiber. It weighs just under 1 pound and breaks down to 17". Nothing much to look at. It's a single shot, so not "tacticool", but designed with specific goals in mind. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Here is an operational video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASLHjeciPOs They even have a fishing kit of sorts that converts the base rifle action. Not sure how well it works, but in a pinch I am sure it would be fine. Anyway, just thought I would share for anyone looking for an ultralight packable rifle: http://www.packrifle.com/products.asp . |

I'll gladly add a couple of pounds for a multi-shot.

I've been eyeballing this for a couple years now. Everything I've read, including the new article says quality is unbelievable. All hand made, specialty firearm.
Most don't get the weight importance, it's a backpacking thing where grams are a very important consideration. I spoke to the owner last year and was told they would make me a mount for the Burris Fast Fire. Very, very nice people.

I would prefer the Ruger 10/22 Take Down....

This product is more up the alley of a backpacker more than a gun enthusiast. I'd love one. I don't know how much back-packing you guys do but 4.5 - 5lb 10/22 vs a 1lb pack-rifle is night and day difference in terms of weight. A simple .22lr semi-auto pistol will weight right near 2lbs. A 1lb rifle is a game-changer.
I'd take one. TBD if I'd spend money on one, though. |

When I want to go as light and fast as possible, I bring my S&W 317, 12.5 oz. It's a hell of a lot easier to carry than a 10/22.
The emphasis with this rifle design is light weight. Adding a couple pounds or even several ounces isn't consistent with the use and design philosophy. Kudos to the designer for giving it a shot. I hope someone picks up where this one left off. A super ultralight rifle is possible and would be really neat. |
