well i might have had a FTE with cci mini mags, but if i did i cant remember. recently i have been using the cci stingers and they are 100% solid so far. they are a bit expensive to plink with but they are worth the money if you are going to use your gun for something important. i have also heard that the Ruger 22/45s dont break in until 1,500 rounds. i would run some stingers through there and see what you think. a new extractor sounds like a good idea too. i think for the price of the gun you shouldnt have to replace anything, but unfortunately the gun is a tad overpriced and replacing parts might be a good idea.
no matter how much you modify your gun, i do believe the gun IS ammo sensitive. my Walther P22 is the same way. unfortunately these .22 pistols require top of the line ammo to function good. i have also heard to not shoot lead down the barrel of one of these guns unless you want to lose accuracy after a few mags of ammo.
if i ever start to have problems with one of my .22s, i strip it down, wipe it bone dry with alcohol then rapid fire 100rds of cci mini mag ammo through it.

I've never had a problem with my mk2 22/45 shooting everything but Rem bulk. I stay away from all rem 22 ammo. My 10/22 the (ultimate 22 survival rifle...lol) has never had a problem with any 22 ammo. I've have had some problems with cheap banana mags. I stick to oem,TI, and I can't wait to try out rugers new 25 round banana mag

I've had my Marlin 60 for over something like 30+ years and it's a classic tack-driver (with irons). Rarely has any sort of FTE, typically run Feds thru it. Lite, nimble, no mags to lose...a real classic.
Have been thinking of adding a 10/22 for the wife, ease of operation and that granite-like Ruger operation.
Also have the defacto assassin's tool of trade mk3 22/45 bull.
Have never fired a single shorty round in any platform. Maybe worth a try?

my vote goes for the remington nylon 66. i have a '59 model & it is the boat gun & my coon hunting rifle & has been for over 30 years. we left it on the dog box one night & started home when i remembered it. when we stopped it was gone. went back to look for it & it had fallen off on the pavement & busted the stock. remington replaced it no questions asked (but i bet they had some!) my only complaint with that rifle is that it is hard to find at night when you set it against a tree while looking for the coon. i lost it for about two hrs one night. now the stock has some reflective d.o.t. tape on the butt, problem solved! push the crap outta the barrel ever so often & a little wd in the action & it's ready to go!

My Marlin Model 60 fills the bill nicely. With the plain 4X scope that Marlin will throw on, it is accurate.
Add a Speed D Loader, and you can refill that tube fast!

My SHTF rifle is an old BRNO (CZ?) 5-shot, bolt-action. Dad got it in the '50s and it's been MY rifle ever since. Dead-on accurate and will shoot all .22 rounds when fed through the port. My secondary is a Ruger 10-22 with only some polishing and fitting work done. Good shooter but not as accurate as the BRNO. Have both factory 10 rounder and Ramline 25s mags on hand.
Traveling (fishing, boating, trunk of car, etc.) .22s are a couple of Charter Arms AR-7s. Have approx. 10 extra mags for each and a couple of 25 round Ramlines. Do have reliability problems with them if using standard velocity ammo, but both seem to love CCI Stingers. Don't know why, but almost no problems using Stingers through either rifle. BTW, Charter Arms cautioned about using Stingers in the AR-7 when CCI first came out with them, but no breakages so far (1000+ each rifle). Guess my rifles didn't read the caution.
Handgun is a Browning Nomad, blued, plastic grips and a 5 inch barrel. If I do my job, the pistol will put them on target at 100 yds. Wish I could find another one!

You wrote both "survival" and "SHTF"...That's Somewhat Contradictory...but if the S hits TF...a good .22 Rifle could put a lot of meat on the table, or tree stump, as it were...
I think that the only good survival gun is the one you actually have WITH you!
So...The More Compact, the Better...The More Likely You Will Stow it Where You Need It!
With the Papoose, It can go under a seat, be tied onto an ATV,etc...
It can be more Inconspicuous than a Full-Length Gun.
If You Don't Worry About it Continuing to Float...You Can Stuff a Laser Sight, Extra Mags, 10 Boxes of Ammo, and a PB&J Sandwich in the Case if you want... 
So...Different Strokes...
Decide What is the MOST likely scenario you will really, really want/need it for...
NO Gun is All-Purpose. Period.
Good Luck in Your 'Quest'!

I feel as if I'm insulting the name Anshutz by putting a cheap Osprey scope and a Wally-World bi-pod on it.
Still puts 5 shots on a nickel at 75 yards though.

If your talking handguns then I will take my old 5 screw Smith&Wesson "K-22 master piece", It is the most accurate 22 pistol I have ever shot. I have a Buckmark, a HS Plinker, a Ruger single six and a S&W model 41 [very accurate] and none of them hold a candle to that old K-22.

For a semi auto .22 I have a Marlin 60 mariner in stainless steel. I prefer it over the 10/22 and the tubular magazine is fine with me. For a .22 bolt gun I have a Savage Mark II with an accutrigger a SSS stock and Redfield scope. It takes down rabit and squirrel out to 100 meters all day long.

A few years ago Ruger built a 22" barrel stanless steel version of their 10/22 that was exclusive to Wal-mart at the time. I bought one of those with the idea of putting a set of tech sights on it and a full size sling and using it as an M14 trainer.
I liked the sights on it so well that I haven't changed anything on it with the exception of getting a 25 rd steel lipped mag for it. The only other thing I don't like about it is the mag release, I plan on replacing it with an extended aftermarket part soon.

Ruger 10-2 or if you can find mint Remington 581. The Remington has the advantage of having the simplicity of a bolt action. The Ruger has the advantage of the proven track record, price and accessories. I would not buy the Charter Arms. IMO they are an emergency rifle - great to tuck in the truck for shot term use. I would not want to have to rely on one for a long term survival situation.

I have a Marlin Papoose, a 10-22 with heavy barrel and Overmold stock, a Springfield M6 22 hornet/410 and a old Sears or Springfield 22 bolt.
If I had to pick just one it would be a hard choice but I think I would take the Springfield M6 even though the trigger sucks. I want to get some of the adapters that you can shoot 22lr in a 22 Hornet chamber.
I have the case that Springfield sold that allows you to carry it in two pieces and has storage pockets and I think it will float in it. Mine is one of the newer ones made by CZ and has a trigger guard [the early one did not have one] I may take it off some day.
I am going to order a push button pin to replace the original pivot pin so it wont fall out and get lost. In the case it is smaller then the Marlin is in the case.
Its to bad Springfield quit making the M6 when you find used ones they sell for way to much unless I'm selling mine, [I never sell my guns, I might trade it for a M1A/M14SA receiver though]
One other thing about the M6 is you can store ammo in the stock
