Thread: "SHTF" Rifle?

Im buying my dad a breakdown .22 for his SHTF rifle. Im thinking the U.S Survival by Henry.

Setting aside any consideration of how realistic "SHTF" scenarios really are, a good "SHTF" rifle should be useful for self-defense as well as survival-oriented hunting. Breakdown .22s are great survival rifles but they aren't much good for self-defense. It still sounds like a good gift, though.
