A mighty duo. Kel Tec PMR and CMR in .22 magnum
Ok, I know that one of my criteria for a survival gun is ammo availability. In this case, the Kel Tec PMR 30 pistol and the sister CMR 30 carbine are chambered in 22 magnum. If you have laid in a good supply of this hot 22-rim fire cartridge, it would be hard to overlook these two firearms for survival considerations.
Kel Tec has designed these guns to take the same 30-round box magazines. Both guns are lightweight and compact. The carbine has a collapsible stock that slides down flush with the back of the receiver and has a full-length Picatinny rail for an optic of your choice along with BUIS.
Pack these two guns in a covert pack like the Defcon Compact Assault Bag and you have yourself a slick bug-out package.

I like the Henry .22 survival rifle. All the parts ft in the stock. It is light and already is in my bugout box.
30-06??? How about . . . .308???
The great thing about a shot gun for survival is you have a way better chance of taking enough game to survive. Ammo is heavier, but you’ll be less likely to miss that squirrel, or quail, or rabbit, etc. ,and taking big game will be easy.
Not exactly the guns I would have selected, but they still have plenty of utility. Essentially, it’s a good .22, a powerful hunting rifle, a MSR for defense, a good reliable shotgun like an 870 or Mossberg 500, and a handgun in 9mm or larger for those last ditch moments.
I have the Henry H0001 Lever action Carbine. It will take 22 LR, 22 Long, and 22 short. It doesn’t break down but it is only about 3 feet long, so still isn’t a problem to carry.
a savage sp 24 over/under .22 mag. 20 ga. mag would be one of my choices for a single gun.
