I have two .22 Winchester Magnums, one is a stainless steel model 88338 with a laminate stock and a tube that holds the rounds.

The other is a plain old wood stock, blued barrel with a clip 25mn.

I think I paid $159 + tax, transfer, call in fee for the one.

I believe that the other one was closer to $225 + all the fee's.

My longest shot to date with eiter of them was a bird, sitting on a branch some 300 yards away. I shot it with plain old Hollow Point CCI shells.

A scope is a must for anything over 50 yards.

A good scope is a must for anything over 150 yards.

I have a Simmons on the Stainless Steel Model and a Bushnell on the model 25 mn.

Both will hit a dime at 200 yards!

Anyone that under estimates the power of a .22 Magnum, should look at the last two groundhogs that I shot. Both had a large exit wound on the other side of their heads. \ I shot a skunk the other night in the head at 50 yards.
The one side of its head looked like as if I only grazed it. The other side of it's head was blown clear off.

I'm sorry for the person that attacked this post and said something about not being legal to shoot a deer with a .22 Magnum.

You never said anything about wanting to shoot a deer with a .22 Magnum, nor did you ask about buying a conversion gun.

All you really wanted was some advice as to a good all around .22 Magnum that you could buy that would stand up to years of abuse and still perform reliable.

Either of the guns that I mentioned would suit your needs.
