'Have a friend on here that gave me a Henry in .22 mag. It's killed a few critters. Natural to the hand. up 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.

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.

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

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. laugh

Had a tube fed marlin 22mag that grew legs many years ago.
Have a cheap revolver now for trapped pigs. Love the caliber!

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. up

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!
