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 like the ruger 10/22 better but remington is nice two

well,im gonna say it,my 597 can out shoot any of ur 10/22's.there i said it.next time at the range,i'lkl take pics ans video's so i got proof.can go to range though(snow)

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).

i have a barka rimfire 3-7x20mm and i like it,i wish the objective wa at least a 30mm though.found a scope at our range(gravel pit) and might put it on there.(3-9x56mm)
