What is your "Go-to" rifle? The one just come to "first in your mind" in like survival situation, not second guessing/overthinking. And of course, no powder burner.
1st: RWS Diana 48 in .22 simple, affordable than AA, HW and no need for support equipment: pump, compressor, tank, scope, etc. Just rifle and some tins of pellets.

Hatsan 135 .30 spring. Not hard to work on. Good for small to medium game.

Any quality spring gun would work, if you are limiting yourself to an air rifle, which seems kind of odd. It seems to me, a good .22 RF and a brick of ammo would be a far better choice, lighter, more power, and reliable forever.

Definitely would be my first choice. 22 LR

Beeman R9 in .20 cal. Superb accuracy, with fine knockdown energry at 20 to 40 yards. Medium weight to carry. Durable.

Since "survival" in this context means only hunting small game to eat , I would go with the Crosman 362 in .22

Revere and hand pump. Plenty of shots in 22 and enough power to keep me fed

If my life is dependent on an airgun for survival? I would chose any one of my guns that’s powerful enough to kill my self with It.

not cool, general rules number 3-Self-defense, illegal use, or unsafe operation/handling with an airgun is prohibited.

Lighten up and have a sense of humor.

Some people seem to have forgotten what humor is. Especially humor that deviates from the mainstream...

Actually I've been looking at big bores for another option to quietly take game should the need arise. It could be a useful tool and less conspicuous than a powder burner.

Do enlighten us where you indicated anywhere in your comment about killing yourself with one that you were joking? There was no smiley face, lol etc., Nothing. Do realize sarcasm and tone of voice cant be conveyed via text.

Weihrauch HW 90 in .22.

 

[HPP-Mechanic]

Dragonfly2 in .22. Thats the gun I always seem to grab when I spot a pest. With the Buckrail moderator & scope, its silent & accurate. I hit a pest at 55yards @ 9 pumps last time.

 

[fuznut]

What Vermix said actually is far and away the most reasonable response in this thread. If your survival was dependent on a airgun your existence would be beyond miserable very quickly. If you don't realize that your chances of surviving are nonexistent.

 

[Jasonmc]

In a gab and go situation (air rifle only) to never look back. I would ditch the PCP and it's life support system to make it function and grab my R9 in 177.

From the looks of this thread looks like everyone is choosing a springer or pumper..

 

[JDR]

FWB 124D. Quiet, accurate and low maintenance and good for small game. Would need something else for larger game like a 22 rimfire with regular and subsonic ammo for headshots.

You’re right. But I only consider that when I’m texting my girlfriend. I will try to consider the ladies feelings on this forum from now on. This whole topic is ridiculous. It will never ever happen. But it’s fun to talk about when the interesting topics are lacking. Ridiculous questions can get ridiculous answers. If you only like people that answer questions the way you want or have thoughts that align with yours, keep your finger on your little thumbs down button while your on this forum.
