My Springfield M6 scout survival rifle

After dropping my Henry AR7 survival rifle and snapping off one of the plastic ears that wrap around the receiver effectively rendering the rifle useless due to the inability for the stock to perform it's most basic function' i realized i needed a firearm that was a whole lot better made and that could perform flawlessly with any kind of .22 ammo (and .410 as a bonus)under any conditions.
The rifle, (while looking cool and purposeful) proved to be finicky with what ammo it would function with, and while the concept was great, the quality of most parts integral to proper function and longevity of the rifle seemed to be sacrificed in order to make the rifle light and floatable. In the end it all seemed too gimicky.
The answer came in the form of the Springfield M6; Light, stainless steal, integral ammo storage for multi caliber handiness and a breakdown feature that reduces the rifle to the same size as the AR7 in a faster time (not to mention putting the rifle together), the springfield will handle anything that presents itself in front of me to be eaten.
Whether it fly's, swims, crawls,runs or slithers.
Whether the food is tiny in size or as big as a boar or deer, with the ability to shoot any sort of .22 from low velocity, shorts, longs, ratshot, ultra high velocity to .410 shot, solid rifled slugs and flares all in a firearm that cant let me down.
I can drop it, run over it, burn it, drown it or use it as a boat paddle or walking stick. And i know that if i'm faced with something bigger than me with teeth, or happen to wander into someones drug crop, a .410 solid beats eight rounds of .22 anyday.
