for combat and poaching NOW, and after shtf, their lw, concealment, ability to last a long time, not make you flinch-miss, not have flash at night, be used by one hand, be fixable-replaceable(along with their ammo) be cleanable in the field, even at night, in bad weather, be rustproof, have luminous sights, see thru scope mount, etc,makes this rifle the perfect choice for the survivalist. I consider it ideal for nearly all of the shooting that's done NOW, actually. How many hunt really big game,hmm? A cached Nagaint, $50, could handle that if, NEED be, ya know. Big game season is just a very small part of the year, and once you take one elk or moose, or bear, that's it for the year. Taking one deer is it for the year, in many parts of the country. For small game, the .22 unit serves just fiine and it and the 223 are perfect for matches, varmints, and plinking.

that's a common failing, fixable. Polish
the chamber with dremel and polishing point, clean the chamber good, first and after, and true the point first. Preferably, spin the chamber in a drill press or lathe. You are only looking to be "at it" for about 10 seconds, or you will over do it, make the chamber egg shaped, etc. dont go so far up into the chamber that you wear down the shoulder of the "leade", either.
The other thing you can do is measure the size of the OD of the extractor spring. get a nail the same or a bit smaller OD. Slice off about 3/32" disk of the nail. Remove the extractor, drop in the disk into the spring hole. this will cause more spring tension on the extractor. You can get the Ciener unit to at least 99% reliability, perhaps even 99.5%.

with scope, trigger job, braced firing
position, I'd not hesitate to shoot bear or elk or moose with CAR-223, to 100m, temple shots. Drop them like a rock.

REGARDLESS of where, the silencer
is a major help in protecting you and in not scaring off other animals. Also, the 223 and .22lr stay more efficient available than anything else. The CAR stays more concealable, one hand usable, etc, than anyhting else. There's far more livestock and small game animals, birds, cats, and dogs, than elk or moose or bears, and the centerfires are very much wasted on the former type of meat getting.
