So I'm looking for a .22 WMR

Post by rayjd2 »

And I'm looking at a Marlin 983 Stainless.
I guess if I wanted a nice, powerful .22 I could get the Ruger American Ranch in 5.56 …

What're your favorite .22 WMRs?

I have a Mossberg Chuckster .22 Mag. Although I like shooting my Weihrauch .22 Hornet better. It looks like the one in this article, without the can. http://www.sporting-rifle.com/reviews/hornets-test/
“Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.” George Orwell, English novelist, essayist, and critic, 1903-1950

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

I have one single shot bolt action .22 mag, I forget who made it, Mossberg probably.
Leave it as it is. The ages have been at work on it and man can only mar it.
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
