SHTF question....
I've been kicking around this question for a while, and can't seem to decide.
Both guns have their good and bad points.
The main goal is something for SHTF small game hunting if it actually came to that.
The 12ga...
Mossberg 930.
Pro:
It makes a great home defense weapon.
Extra barrels in longer hunting configuration are readily available.
Huge selection of various types of shells for both hunting and defense.
Cons:
Cost of shotgun.
Cost of ammo.
Weight and bulk of ammo.
Hard on my bad shoulder.
Henry Survival .22lr
Pro:
Small and light weight
Collapsible (will fit inside a backpack)
Ammo is cheap and light weight.
Price of rifle is cheap.
Con:
Not much good as a defensive weapon.
I prefer dual-purpose firearms as much as possible.
Easier to miss a small animal with if it's moving and you are shaking from being really hungry.
