The .22LR standalone will not be available at this time. Keep reading to learn about the .22LR we saw at SHOT Show and click here for our full review of the .410. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When we reviewed Midland\u2019s .410 Backpacker in June of 2018, the company was already talking about releasing rimfire and centerfire barrels that could be easily swapped for a scattergun bore. Now, nearly two years later, Midland has announced the release of the first component of that system: the Backpacker .22LR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Backpacker is a single-shot, break-action firearm capable\nof being folded into a compact configuration small enough to fit into most\nmid-sized backpacks. The barrel can also be entirely removed with a single Allen\nwrench and replaced with a barrel chambered in a different caliber\/gauge. There\u2019s\nno need to change anything about the receiver\u2014just swap barrels and you\u2019re good\nto go. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The versatility and advantage of this design are obvious. Rather than carry two separate firearms into the outback to target different game species, users can carry a 12GA barrel and a .22 LR barrel and swap them in the field. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such a design would also appeal to the survivalists among\nus. Securing food in a SHTF scenario might require both a rimfire and a\nscattergun, and the Backpacker lets users have both in their bugout bag without\ntaking up too much space or costing too much money. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Cost separates the Backpacker from much of its competition. With Midland&#8217;s traditional MSRP&#8217;s, you can afford to purchase two firearms and throw one in the bugout bag and one in the camper\/truck\/canoe. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But you shouldn\u2019t worry about sacrificing dependability. The\nmanufacturing quality of the .22LR Backpacker seems to be consistent with\nMidland\u2019s other offerings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cMaking guns using these materials and finishes are what ensures Midlands can be handed down from generation to generation,\u201d as Midland President and CEO Val Forgett&nbsp;told us. \u201cThat is what I want to see in this line.&nbsp;I still have my old single-shot from when I was a kid and want to make sure that 100 years from now, today\u2019s Midlands are still being shot.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"596\" title=\"Go-To SHTF Gun: Midland Releases Backpacker in .22LR  \u2013 SHOT Show 2020\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/midland-4-1024x596.jpg\" alt=\"Go-To SHTF Gun: Midland Releases Backpacker in .22LR  \u2013 SHOT Show 2020\" class=\"wp-image-122717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/midland-4-1024x596.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/midland-4-400x233.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/midland-4-150x87.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/midland-4-768x447.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/midland-4.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"661\" title=\"Go-To SHTF Gun: Midland Releases Backpacker in .22LR  \u2013 SHOT Show 2020\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/midland-2-1024x661.jpg\" alt=\"Go-To SHTF Gun: Midland Releases Backpacker in .22LR  \u2013 SHOT Show 2020\" class=\"wp-image-122718\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/midland-2-1024x661.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/midland-2-400x258.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/midland-2-150x97.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/midland-2-768x496.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/midland-2.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"728\" title=\"Go-To SHTF Gun: Midland Releases Backpacker in .22LR  \u2013 SHOT Show 2020\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/midland-3-1024x728.jpg\" alt=\"Go-To SHTF Gun: Midland Releases Backpacker in .22LR  \u2013 SHOT Show 2020\" class=\"wp-image-122719\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/midland-3-1024x728.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/midland-3-400x284.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/midland-3-150x107.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/midland-3-768x546.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/midland-3.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"761\" title=\"Go-To SHTF Gun: Midland Releases Backpacker in .22LR  \u2013 SHOT Show 2020\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/midland-5-1024x761.jpg\" alt=\"Go-To SHTF Gun: Midland Releases Backpacker in .22LR  \u2013 SHOT Show 2020\" class=\"wp-image-122720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/midland-5-1024x761.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/midland-5-400x297.jpg 400w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/midland-5-150x112.jpg 150w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/midland-5-768x571.jpg 768w, https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/midland-5.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/midland-backpack-full-review\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"midland-backpacker-22lr-shot-show-2020\" title=\"Go-To SHTF Gun: Midland Releases Backpacker in .22LR  \u2013 SHOT Show 2020\">Tough, Versatile, and Budget-Friendly, Midland\u2019s Backpack Shotgun Might be Your Best Hiking Companion<\/a> <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A full review will provide more information, but it looks like Midland has produced another great product at an extremely accessible price point. The 16.5-inch .22 LR barrel is eminently maneuverable, and the included rail can mount a variety of magnified scopes and red dots. The trigger is heavy, but otherwise the firearm appears to be easy to operate. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For those hoping for a centerfire version, the wait isn\u2019t quite over yet. Company reps told us they\u2019re still working on those, but they couldn&#8217;t provide a planned release date. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are, however, working on a combo .410\/22LR firearm that they plan to release this year. Details are sketchy (no images or specs), but it\u2019s something to look out for. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The .22LR Backpacker isn&#8217;t currently listed on Midland&#8217;s website, but company reps tell us it will be shipping to retailers soon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shootmidland.com\/collections\/firearms\" campaign=\"SHOTShow2020_Midland\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">HERE<\/a> to learn more about Midland.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\"> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_SHOT2020\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!
