RE: .22 WMR?
I have aRuger M77 WRM with a Simons 3-9x and love the gun. Handles very well and shoots nice tight groups. Personally, I think it is a grown-ups version of the .22 we played with as a kid. Little bigger pop and a little more range, but basically a big .22. I shoot ground hogs, porkies, skunks, 'possums and coyotes. I have never heard of shooting turkeys with a rifle and there is no way that I would try and kill a whitetail with the gun (although I believe that the poachers do).
Bottom line: it is a nice gun but it has its limitations when it comes to killing anything bigger than a coyote.
