I don't have one of those 222/20's yet still looking for one at my price range, but have several others. The 222/20 was built and marketed as a turkey gun. It would not be my choice as a deer cartridge but has killed many over the years. Last year a deer was killed with a 22 hornet and entered into the youth hunt here in Fla. I am looking for one as a small game hybrid as where I hunt in Fla, I can hunt deer and hogs while squirrel hunting. best of luck, check out Savage 24.com for more info on the guns, I am waiting patiently to acquire soon.
