The AR-7 has served U.S. Air Force pilots since 1959, and has developed a reputation for portability, ease of operation and reliability. Henry Repeating Arms now produces the AR-7 for the civilian world, and the well-recognized takedown .22 is the latest AmericanRifleman.org Gun of the Week.

Much like the original survival rifle, Henry's take on the AR-7 is lightweight and highly portable. When stowed, it measures just 16½" and makes for an easy fit in any backpack. Its .22LR chambering allows you to carry large quantities of ammunition without adding much weight.

Review: Bushmaster V-Radicator

The business of dispatching unwanted critters requires a platform capable of a high degree of accuracy. Nuisance animals such as prairie dogs are both small and skittish in nature, meaning that they tend to keep their distance and scurry away upon the arrival of incoming fire.
