What about the reliability of the 10/22? Does it have a reputation for FTFs or FTEs? Accuracy?
they are as reliable as much as any semi-auto, as long as you feed them ammo they like and use the best quality mags you can afford the 10/22 is a workhorse. But a single shot, either bolt or break open A) as long as the primer ignites B)has enough powder to push the bullet out the bore will shoot any .22RF

Henry Repeating Arms has tooled up to manufacture a new and improved version of the famous U.S. Air Force AR-7, now known as the Henry U.S. Survival rifle. This compact and lightweight sportsman’s rifle is ideal for all outdoorsmen, including campers, backpackers, hunters, fishermen, boat owners and target shooters. And it can still serve its original purpose as a survival rifle for pilots.
The Henry U.S. Survival rifle is ultra-lightweight, weighing in at a scant 2.5 pounds. The unique design allows the rifle to break down easily into three pieces in seconds. This enables the barrel, action and two 8-round magazines to fit comfortably into the tough ABS synthetic waterproof stock. No tools are needed to assemble or disassemble. Once disassembled and stowed, it is only an incredible 16 inches long. Carry it in your backpack with room to spare.
To assemble, simply attach the receiver to the stock, insert the barrel, screw on the barrel nut and you’re ready to fire. In seconds, you’ll have the security of a semi-automatic rifle without the bulk and weight of a full size firearm.
The Henry U.S. Survival rifle features a steel barrel that is covered in a tough ABS plastic and then coated in Teflon. This unique barrel design allows the gun to balance properly and remain lightweight, yet withstand tens of thousands of rounds. The entire receiver is also coated in Teflon, making the Henry U.S. Survival rifle the most weather-resistant of any AR-7 ever made. As an added feature, the receiver rib is now grooved for easy installation of a scope.
The rifle is capable of feeding both standard and high velocity .22 Long Rifle ammunition. Available in black, silver or camouflage finishes.

I've got a Marlin 25N for a .22 rifle and a Ruger Single-Six for a pistol. Both are excellent entry-level firearms. _________________ Vanish Fear and Panic!

the .22 rimfire mag has all the "power" of a 380. Whoopee, right? Then you want to take 3-4x as long for each shot, by having a single action revolver instead of the feeble 380 autoloader? I don't think so, dude.
The best .22 for survival is available for $150 and weighs only 3/4 of a pound. Check it out at CienerFirearms.com. It is called a ".22 conversion unit'" and can be had for the AK-47, the AR-15, or the Ruger Mini-14. You swap out the 223 bolt, recoil spring and mag for the .22lr conversion unit parts. This takes a mere 20 seconds. the .22 unit groups into 2" or less on a target at 50 yds, so it is plenty accurate enough for foraging.
So you dont have to settle for having just a centerfire or just a rimfire, you can have either/both, at quite a reasonable price,. Practice with your 1022 won't really help you be good with your Mini-14, because the sights, trigger pull, bolt release, safety, magazine release, and "feel" are so different. But practicing with the .22 unit lets you use the exact same controls, sights and trigger pull as the 223 has. With the right softpoint hunting bullets, the 223 will take deer every bit as well as the 30-30 ever did. The bullet is Nosler's Partition, in 60 gr weight. So you don't have to waste a .30 ak round on a frog or bird, you can use the very quiet .22 CB Cap in the conversion unit, or the fairly quiet subsonic .22lr and have rapidfire, from a 30 rd magazine. The CB cap won't cycle the bolt, so you have to manuallly operate the action when using the CB Cap ammo. The CB's are so quiet that I used to use them to shoot squirrels in our small town, right out of our garage.

survival makes rapidfire necessary, dudes. You can lose a crippled animal, or get killed by a rapid coon or a dog pack, or people, just because you were too ignorant/cheap to have an autoloading firearm. You can find Marlin M60 glenfield, tubular magazine rifles used for $75, often with a scope already mounted on it.
The AR 7 is a pc of junk, in many, many ways. Don't waste your money on it or on the .22-410 Spld, either.
