RE: .22 LR
whats .22 mag ammo cost? .22lr? .17hmr? or whatever the hot new .17 is?
.22 are fun to plink, I hav eone sure, I think everyone does, just syaing aside from plinking, i never use it. might be good to get a kid started in shooting etc....and sure you can buy 500 rounds for 12 bucks or whatever, just saying, me, now, i have little use for a .22lr, and feel like a .22mag might actually be able to be used for hunting, aside from squirrels......
but again if it were me, now, I'd bypass the .22lr, and buy a .22-250, or hell a .223rem if you want something small, cheap ammo. there ya go!
Get a .223 rem, cheap ammo, and alot more options for plinking and hunting!
