Truck gun

I think one of these would make a great truck gun. I would leave it with the iron sights. The issue here is it isn't a legal cartridge for deer. But I wouldn't mind having it along in other states.
Would be handy to have in the truck when I am pheasant hunting in South Dakota. I bought a H&R youth single shot .243 just for that, the occasional coyote that needs picked off.

Other than that its a really nice shooting gun.
I have a buddy who has one in 7.62x39 and it is a carbine length gun. The barrel is 16 or 18" and man is it a nice little rifle.
The single set trigger is nice too.
They are well made guns. I think for a truck gun I would try to find one with a synthetic stock.
Right about 60 gr. Speer has some 70 gr that we use in 223's and 220 swifts with good results. (reloaded ammo)
Some 22 cal guns just won't group the heavier 22 cal bullet very good though.
A buddy of mine uses a Beretta semi auto shotgun, one of the extrema models, it has a camo synthetic stock, it's been used, a lot. His grand son bought one just like it. He told my buddy he had one just like his only without all the scratches and and stuff. I told him he could only hope his shotgun looked like his grandpa's someday. Took him a little while to get what I meant.
70 grain pills have to be pushed hard in most CF. 22 bores to get good accuracy. I learned that over on the ATE forum when I was asked about what to run through a .223 WSSM.
So if SHTF I'm probably good to get home, maybe not as good a shape as you, but I should make it.
You didn't hijack anything. We're talking about truck guns. I caught that yours would be more concealable, and that would be a big plus if SHTF. I'm looking at a Ruger 44 carbine right now on the auction side. Thinking if would be a decent truck gun, with the added benefit of it is a legal deer cartridge for public land here in Indiana.

That is quite and arsenal your hauling around.................
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
If I was to put one in the vehicle and when I do its a rem 1100 that is my 3 gun Shotgun.
It has a 22" barrel and a 8 shot mag tube. I can derail a train with it.
I prefer slugs and Breneke 1oz 2 3/4" is my goto.
Its highly modified and runs like a top.
I like a SG, I was the #3 man in the stack for a few years
Here's one on the auction side. I looked at it the other day and thought it would be good that.

Work pickup: Sometimes a similar AR but the permanent solution will be a suppressed 9mm AR 10.5" "pistol" in a soft bag behind the seat. That will take a year but in the interim, the 9mm AR will be on the job with a simple "muzzle extension" so I don't shoot my fingers off in a high stress scenario.
I hear ya, used to have 2 of those mounted on the roof of the Camaro
