'Have a friend on here that gave me a Henry in .22 mag. It's killed a few critters. Natural to the hand. I keep ear plugs in whenever I'm shooting anything above a .22 LR (in a rifle - a pistol in even .22 will do damage to your ears.)

Had a Marlin 25MN back in the day that loved CCI Maxi-mags. Wasn’t a pretty rifle, but it would stack them in there. Biggest issue I had was finding a dovetail scope mount that wouldn’t slide. A little loctite solved that.
Killed many squirrels with that rifle. Head shots at 75+ yards were pretty routine. I would like to have that rifle back and put a good optic on it to see how far it could be stretched out.

Yes, I've got a Remmy 597M in 22 mag. Pretty darn accurate and a decent short range coyote gun.
I was wrong...on anything technical. Fitz............. is right, ya know............

its not a magnum but I have a Henry Classic in .22 LR that i'm dearly in love with. It can be had in a .22 WM chambering but they did not have one in stock the day I bought it. Great little gun, a joy to carry.
Killed a hog with it today as a matter of fact.
For it is not the quarry that we truly seek, but the adventure.

Winchester 9422M Trapper, smoothest action Winchester I have ever cycled and shoots as good as it cycles. Handy little rifle with that 16 inch barrel
lf the saying "Liar, Liar your pants on fire" were true Mainstream news might be fun to watch

Here's mine... PSA lower with a LaRue trigger, mated to a Ray-Vin upper. 18" fluted stainless barrel, and a Midwest Mlok hand-guard. It has a Bushnell 2x-7x 36mm scope on top and uses Black Dog Machine's 14 round magazines. It is a very good shooter, when it has a very good operator.

I have 2 savages. One is a 93 brj. Other is the Troy Landry edition. I shoot the Landry edition more cuz it’s just so damn handy. Both are super accurate and I love the accu-triggers

My favorite.22LR ever is my kid's .22 Cricket. I put a Leupold FXI 4x28 on it and it is one hell of a combination. It is so small and light, it is really like a little handgun. Now you posted about favorite .22 mag, I might get a Cricket or Chipmunk in .22 mag and put an FX-I 4x28 on that too.
The FX-I 4x28 is a whole lot better a scope than you might think and beats the pants off any other fix 4x I have used. Including the ACOG. Probably not as tough as an ACOG but far better optically.

everyone else went the rifle route. I traded for a S&W 48 revolver in 22 mag that shoots lights out, expensive gun but worth it.

Have a marlin 25mn and henry in 22mag. I prefer the henry due to crisp trigger and the mags on the marlin are a pita to load but both had killed lots of crows, jack rabbits and turtles.

I had an older Marlin 25MN that I sold during a period of true stupidity. Gun was ridiculously accurate.

I've got a Ruger Super Single Six Convertible (.22 LR & .22 WMR cylinders) that I freaking LOVE. Also have a bolt action tube fed Marlin in .22 WMR ( Model 782T, I think). She's a tack driver.

Winchester 9422M Trapper, smoothest action Winchester I have ever cycled and shoots as good as it cycles. Handy little rifle with that 16 inch barrel We've got one we picked up at a gun show many years back, made in 1979. I agree with the action smoothness. Nice shooting rifle.

I have a Henry lever action 22 mag that is good -but- without question the best shooting 22 WMR rifle I have ever fired is my CZ 455 Varmint with heavy barrel and thumbhole stock. Put a new trigger spring in it from MCarbo. It outshoots any rifle I have seen up to 100 years. Fun!
It's not what you say, or think, that counts. It is what you DO!
