Does anypne pack 2 rifles? opinions?

[bacon_overlord]

I was thinking of taking a second rifle for small game next fall, as well as my 7mm plas-tikka. I don't want to be an arsenal and look like I'm in Call of Duty, so was considering something like the chiappa badger. Can fold or break down and fit in a day pack, moderately accurate, and light.
I have a cooey 60 w scope, which is a bit clunky to pack along, expecially without a sling on it.
I don't really want to use a shotgun for large game, mainly cause I don't have one set up for it and, have already invested time and money in getting good with a rifle.

What do others on here do?
Thoughts on backup. 22s?
Thanks alot!

I do pack one if I am exploring on my quad. But if I am walking I use a slingshot and marbles

Always have a .22 in the truck when I go out tho

I keep a 22 in the truck or on the SXS but I only carry the 300 WinMag when in the bush. When I used to hunt bears with a bow, I would carry a gun when tracking the bear after the bow shot.

To much extra weight, also would make getting around in thick bush more difficult.

From a truck, ya, to pack, no. If I want to grouse hunt concurrently with big game while on foot, a sling shot and marbles/steel bearings is what I'd want.

We carry a Savage Rascal .22 on one of our packs. Less than three pounds. Have shot many a grouse with it.

When Son and I go out he packs his single shot 17HMR along with his 270 Win while I pack a Badger with my 30-06.
Depends on when, where, whatever.
We always have a rimfire or two sitting it the truck.

Packing a light 22 would be great if we were allowed to use a suppressor. Shooting a few big blues while out hunting for big game would be great.

Wife and I always have a little Rascal in the truck or on the ATV. You can get subsonic ammunition or Cee bee. They make very little noise and work wonderful on grouse. Hummm...grouse.
