All were at night and with a light. 22 mag is very versatile. One caliber under 50 yards, 22 mag. ------------------------------------- DJT & MTG in 2024!

In rifle parlance that's a light patrol type all purpose as opposed to either an ultralight/short CQB carbine or longer heavier DMR. CQB close quarters battle a door kickers carbine DMR designated marksman rifle a squad level sharpshooter not a dedicated sniper

You can find a bullet in a couch cushion, under your pickup seat, down in the bottom of your tool box, behind the dresser etc. if you run out. You can kill anything you need to. Shoot a mule deer buck in the heart, a steer between the eyes, shoot the head off quail before they fly and a catfish in shallow water. Danny said it better than I could. I have nothing clever to put here.
