When it comes to survival firearms, we're big fans of .22 LR. This caliber is very inexpensive, easy to find at most sporting goods retailers, easy to shoot accurately, produces low recoil, and it's perfect for taking down small game in survival scenarios. Also, many of these rimfire weapons can be suppressed to produce an extremely soft muzzle report, which means you won't alert everyone in your vicinity if you're out hunting varmints or shooting targets.
