Trying to determine whether to just get a .22lr conversion and mags for the AR or buy the Henry AR-7 pack rifle.
1. Weight reduction and convenience
2. Accuracy
The above two things I'm mainly considering. I think it's obvious that a dedicated rifle will perform better, but I'm not interested in carrying two separate rifles, nor an additional upper.
So would the .22lr conversion kit perform reasonably well, or would you go for the pack rifle.
additional thoughts....If you ran out of .223/5.56 would you continue to carry your rifle in hopes of finding more ammo for it? The conversion kit would then justify continuing to carry it since my .22 ammo would be my backup survival ammo.
The above is in relation to a SHTF scenario.
