Pinging you for your area of interest.
Seems silly to think that in a survival situation a gun capable of firing various ammo is needed in case the user runs across random ammo.
Solution looking for a problem.
That, and why do gun companies think a beard and a serious look is necessary to fire a 22 rifle??
Seems like a good catch-all gun....apparently the cylinders are rifled barrels and what you’d normally think is the barrel is a hollowed tub that contains the slug when it’s shot. I’m guessing it’s necessarily large enough diameter to accommodate the largest caliber bullet that gets shot out of its rifled cylinder slot (7 inches). A total 6 shot capacity, but looks like it’s been split up with different sized cylinder positions so you couldn’t, for instance, load up 6 rounds of 22 LR. Still a neat idea, though.

I am not sure if the Scavenger is a gimmick or not. but I do know, having only 1 Long gun and one handgun saves on weight and will be easier to carry.
What I want in a survival rifle is one chambered in a handgun caliber and has the capability to bring down a buck at a 100 yards. 38 Spec./357 Mag. has maybe the best ballistics, but the 45/410 gives the option of fowl occasionally. decisions, decisions, decisions.

How about a sling shot? It can shoot any size object I pick up.
Isn’t this a short barreled rifle subject to BATF restrictions?
Another option is to carry your own reloading kit with you:
Lee Breech Lock Hand Press

You can salvage powder and primers and mold new bullets to meet your need in the field. Even lead for the bullets can be salvaged.
Tim’s X-Caliber was the most inaccurate
and worthless rifles I’ve ever owned
Please describe one scenario in a life-threatening situation where this weapon will be advantageous over traditional alternatives.......
No way, Jose’......I’ll keep the little collection that I have......
TC contender and extra barrels
Bump for reference
One of my deceased uncle landed at Omaha on D-day. He dumped his pack, rifle and web belt in the landing craft and went over the side. He then swam to an obstruction on the beach and collected all the ammo he could carry and a another rifle. In the following days he had all the weapons, ammo, water and food he wanted. At one point he was using a Mauser. Virtually every man on the landing craft was killed at the ramp by withering German fire.
The early days of the SHTF scenario will be the same. Weapons and ammo literally lying around. Take your pick
You just have to carry 23 separate barrels.
I will gladly take 23 guns over 1 subpar gun any day of the week.
Eh. It shoots 21/23/24 different calibers (depends on how you split the different ones) if you swap out the barrel-cylinders, which themselves hold only 6 different rounds each.
So, for any given caliber, you have a single-shot rifle that likely isn’t very accurate. And, depending on the barrel, it can be difficult to tell which hole you need to reload into for your second shot.
If it does everything okay, it will do nothing well.
