Backpack rifle

[IkemanTX]

I have been thinking for a while about adding a compact rifle to my scouting setup. I would mainly use it for short range shots on small game or juvenile pigs. About the only way I will actually take it with me is if it ends up as part of my pack, so I would want something compact enough to fit in a scabbard on my 5.11 Rush 12. I am kind of leaning towards a 10/22 with a short stock, and wanting to avoid a break down gun. Too many pig encounters would be missed trying to put a gun together. Anyone do anything similar or have any rifle/stock recommendations to get a compact overall rifle?

It's a break down but it's my go-to rifle.
Handi Rifle SBR in 300BLK suppressed with red-dot and flip-up magnifier.

Maybe one of those 10/22 pistols with the long barrel? Would be pretty accurate, and very compact.

I just looked it up online, it's too bad these don't come in 22Mag.

maybe an AR pistol with a 10" barrel?

Correction. That's the Contender that I was thinking about.

Now that there is a dang good option.... I wonder what kind of holster or scabbard would fit that?

I would go with a Ruger 10/22 with 16" barrel and put an Underfold stock on it.

Another awesome option.
I had not stumbled across these before. That makes them ultra packable.
