Well, one of the old tenents of saving weight is to try to make gear do double duty.
Like making your trekking poles also as a rifle mono pod or cross sticks and as shelter poles and vice versa. Or making your poncho do double duty as a shelter tarp.
Yeah ,I do all those things.:)
The fishing rod conversion looked a little wonky to me because it only saves the weight of the handle/reel seat of the rod.
As to packing a 22 rifle into the high country , in a group camp scenario a 15oz rifle and a box of fifty 22LR cartridges probably is about as weight/permance efficient as reduced smal game loads for a centerfire. Especially if the weight is amortized over a group.
So, I can see the utility in the rifle.
Its also kind of cool in that it sort if looks like the takedown rifle the hitman villan used in the "Day of the Condor"...
But I digress..
