[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1691528, member: 6291"] Naw that's about right. It's more than good enough to shoot pigeons and stuff. We were probably about that 75yd range also. I'm just saying that 22 mag would walk a golf ball size circle or so vs the 17 keeping them inside a quarter. My dad had never shot a deer with a center fire rifle prior to meeting my mom. My dad showed up to family hunt with a 22 and my grandfather, moms dad, lent him an extra .222 to keep things on the up and up. 😄 We grew up like wild indians running through the pastures with 22s and always at least one 22mag. It was our buffalo gun for big game.😂 I haven't seen 22mag ammo around here in a good while though. [/QUOTE]
