David, I very much enjoyed your video and mostly agree with you. Where I have a difference of opinion with you however is in the effective use of each firearm, number of rounds that can be fired in succession with minimal distress and ability to carry loads of ammo in a bug-out situation. As an avid gun owner of many fire arms from .22’s to AR 15’s right up to my Henry .45-70 AW I feel way too many people play down the reality of what a .22 is truly capable of doing. More importantly, what can the shooter do with the gun? I would never hand my wife my .45-70 and say go defend yourself because she would die a quick death. The kick back alone is a painful experience and the gun would do more damage to her than good. My Sig 556 would be a nice choice but the weight would get to her pretty quickly especially with the optic package I have installed. I would consider giving her one of my shotguns but only with birdshot, not the 00 buck or solid rounds I myself would use because of the excessive kickback. I would on the other hand give her my 10/22 take down because its lightweight, can be loaded with up to 25 rounds per clip and anyone charging her getting hit more than just a couple of times would know not to proceed unless they wanted to die. I guess my point here is that, from your perspective you are focusing on grains of weight both in powder and grains of weight within the round to provide resolve. My criteria for taking down a threat includes; ease of gun control with minimal exposure, rapid fire succession and the ability to hit the target numerous times while still having the ability to maintain control of your firearm. For these reasons, IMHO, nothing is better than a .22 rifle. While certainly not the most powerful at the end of the day, it’s all about hitting the target and making your point well known. Now on the other hand, if you are looking down the barrel of your .22 at a large brown bear, I would make an effort to be very quiet and do a lot of praying. In a true bug out situation however, I’m more concerned about the threat of desperate people than any threat that wildlife would present so that is why I think the .22 still makes the most sense. Your point about cheap rounds is spot on as you can keep several hundred rounds with you and that alone will provide you with both short and long term sustainability. Thanks again for a legit video.

Thank you for the video . . . I really liked your S&W 637 video as well. In short, you're coherent and to the point. Regarding the Takedown being used as a "survival" rifle, I think most people have weight as a prerequisite, i.e., this weighs 4.2 lbs (or at least mine does w/Magpul X-22 stock). Consequently, most people do NOT want to be dragging around something that weighs much more than that. Again, thank you for the video.

Nice addition to the lineup DR! They're a fun, easy to stow 22. I'v had one about 4 years now. I keep a shorty 4x scope with QDs and 3, BX25 mags in the case outer pocket. The scope does require re-zero, but that takes only a few shots and little time.I use the irons most of the time, but may start looking for a peep sight. The older eyes you know. ; (

A good gun. Another good one is the ar-7. Everything fits in the buttstock, and it floats.

Yes, the Ruger Take Down is a nice rifle, but my preference is the Marlin Papoose ( 70PSS ) but you didn't ask for my choice, did you David? These 'Take-Down' rifles have their place for sure.

LOL. SMH. Apparently when you shoved aside the Owners Manual at the 3:30 mark you should have read it, especially the section on the " Adjustment Knob and the Takedown/Reassembly Process". That would be on pages 16 & 17 of the Manual. The Adjustment Knob Tightening/ Loosening process is not for each time you takedown the rifle, as you mention at the 6:47 mark. It's for when the Rifle is new and then to properly seat the "Barrel Assembly", that would be explained in the last paragraph on page 17. Oh yeah, at the 5:10 mark, lock the bolt back each time you do a takedown and reassemble. I pity the poor Folk at Ruger Customer Service getting calls from people with improperly adjusted and fitted Barrel Assemblies.

Great video! Im in the Army, the MOLLE strap attachment loops are pronounced like the woman's name. "Molly". Not "Mole" I mean this purely as a constructive criticism, I'm not trying to be mean.

New or used? 90 dollars? Even a used one would go for twice that. Bulls*it.
