I have a Savage 22 mag with a bull barrel I bought over 25 years ago for $179. Best and most reliable gun I own. Sighted it in one time and still shoots 1" groups at 75 yards. Never been cleaned. It will kill just about anything I need it to from squirrel head shots to hog earshots. Just need a good rest.

Give the Rem 5mm mag a try!

I am a fan of the 22 mag. I own several A Ruger 96 lever,a chiappa 22mag over 410,and a CZ 512 semi. Killed lots of stuff with all of them. The CZ is wicked accurate.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Does it make a difference who zeros the rifle? I have a Mossberg 22 Mag. I zeroed it, but when my wife shot it, it still shot a nice group, but not the same area I shot my group. I shoot left handed. She shoots right handed. Would that make a difference?
Funny how drinking 8 cups of water a day seems like a lot, but 8 beers in 3 hours goes down like a fat kid on a see-saw.

She shoots right handed. Would that make a difference? yes it absolutely can your heads are different heights off the stock and you hold the gun differently. it is probably close as in near the target but not quite the same spot. optic or irons ?
America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

I hardly leave home without my 22 mag. I have 2 marlins with the 13 shot tube, a 597 semi, and a henry octagon barrel pump. I feel much safer with a 22 mag rather than a 22lr when crossing bear tracks when im hunting small game. Taken a lot of small game, wolverine, wolves and caribou with the 22mag. Mostly I shoot FMJ but i like the 30 grain v max too. The vmax makes rabbits cartwheel.

Bought a Winchester pump 22 mag when I was 15. It still shoots well as long as one holds the magazine tube not the forearm. Second firearm for me. Traded a mossberp 22 and some bean picking money for it. My mom signed for it as my dad wouldn't. Likes 40gr ammo best. I am 74. Think the year I bought it was a new cartridge.
