Pack Rifle Survival .22/Fishing rod

[arcstarter]

The packrifle weighs under a pound made of carbon fiber and aluminum and sells for $425 in the states, also doubles as a extendable fishing rod. I wonder how well it would work and if there is anyway we can get em here in Canada.

Here is their website too ht tp://www.packrifle.com/aboutpackrifle.html

What do you guys think?

it reminds of the wildcat 22. needs trigger guard.

so do you shoot the fish and troll for grouse? i'm confused with this one....what pattern would you tie for grouse in may with a good hatch...in a survival situation of coarse ...

 

[legi0n]

just wait until a conservation or fisheries officer sees you fishing with a rifle!

 

[savagelh]

I'm sure they will sell tonnes, but to my it looks like a pathetic rifle that doubles as a poorly designed fishing rod.

Shoot the grouse then troll for fish with it, a lure I call the Funky Chicken.

I agree with the trigger guard, a large paint-ball gun style (~3 finger) would work with that "pistol grip"

$50 sure, $425, haHAHAHAHAHAHA

 

[G.Mitchell]

I actually kinda like it, solely for the weight. Actually the style kinda appeals to me a little to.

But the price! What the heck were they thinking.

$200 range I would buy one without pause, $400+ not likely!

Super light weight comes at a price.

Think camping stoves.

Guns are no different.

Exactly. The phrase "jack of all trades, but a master at none" comes to mind when I look at the pictures.

Thats FUNNY !

 

[danadog]

I like the idea of a sub 1lb rifle. This one is not pretty though. I am pretty skeptical of the fishing rod set up too.

 

[matty86suk]

Doesn't look like a good gun or fishing rod...better off with a stevens trapper and a pocket fisher...

 

[mg4201]

It is a neat concept but at 425 it is a non starter

 

[wheelin_ca]

shoot the grouse, then tie a fly.... instant trout and grouse dinner..


whats the recoil of a 22lr in a 1lb gun? what about shooting stingers

 

[07blackwater]

I had a flash in my head of a fisheries guy coming by when you're fishing with it and wanting to see if you had a barbed hook or not.....

 

[cyclone]

I'm sure you can rig-up a Cooey to do both jobs even better , for less !...

Prophet river has them for only 699.00 cdn. I just don't understand? I thought 400.00us was insane. Glad I don't want one.

If it were't for our stupid Kanadian laws we would just carry one of these little gems in .22 LR, Long, Short or CB on fishing and camping trips..........
