One of my favorite hunting rifles was a Remington 22 long rifle. Wasn't anything I couldn't kill with it.

I keep a short Ruger 10/22 in my CRV. It’s my truck gun. Plastic stock, nothing pretty. Have a decent scope on it. I know it’s not legal but we cull out hawks around here. Ever since a hawk tried to kill my cat, I’ve been on the warpath. Right now I’ve been stalking a great big barred owl. It’s killed several of my cousins chickens so far.
Armadillos are on the cull list too. Those invasive bastards need to stay down weedhoppers way.

Sweet rifle. I wish they'd come out with it in .22 Hornet. Save your brass. You can reload rimfires. I've got the kit. You can even use the kit to re-prime regular primers and smoke pole caps.My father gave me this rifle a few years ago for my birthday. It’s a Czech made .17 caliber rifle. I am very impressed with the quality and accuracy. I’ve hit targets the size of a hawk as far out as 385 yards with it. It’s absolutely lethal to small varmints and up to raccoon size animals. It takes a beaver out too. 17 grain bullet, so small looking. Looks like a mini 30.06 round.
I knew a guy that used to shoot deer with one. But I never wanted to run the risk of a bad shot like that. He would shoot them in the ear. Head shots are tricky. Slightly off target and you wounded a deer, and that’s not right.
For the price, it’s one of the best rifles I’ve ever seen. When I can buy a plastic stock Ruger bolt action for $550, this CZ was about 650. Beautiful wood stock. I can’t find any fit or finish flaw anywhere.
I remember reading that it’s a necked down 22 mag casing.

I had a hawk using my flock for an all you can eat buffet one winter. In five days, he'd taken out four chickens. It would have been five for five, but I ran out and socker kicked him off of a hen. The sixth day, he got lead poisoning.
I tried to warn him.

Good afternoon, Misfits. Chiefs do not play today (since they played on Christmas), so they will be able to rest up until January 5 when they play the Denver Broncos.
Lets play ball!!

Buncha damned perverts........
Just slipped into the garage to smoke part of a cig, after eating three bowls of homemade chicken and dumplings that my baby's friend fixed. Talk about yummy!

If I had a nickel for every time my finger got prop bit by one of those, I'd have a pocketful of nickels.
You read my mind
Dang rimfire is the only brass I toss.
Once that bird knows where an easy meal is, it will never leave.
By the time you pay tax, and the going rate of $50 for the FFL you wind up right about $560. It wasn’t quite $650, but if I have to pay $60 more to support my local gun store I’ll be glad to.
