RE: who hunts small game with this gun?
 

I use a Winchester .22 Magnum to shoot squirrels, redders, chipmunks and keep the woodchuck numbers down on the farm. It pretty much makes mince meat out of the redders and chipmunks.

I got a 597 last year. I love it. The 10/22 can be so personalized though. However, the 597 is just absolutely indestructible.

What is a good scope to complement this gun, if anybody has one with theirs. I tried to use the scope from my air rifle, but the vibrations from that screwed up the scope (I will never spend money on a supposed vibration resistant scope again).
