I love my .22 WMR. I’ve dropped quite a few coyotes with mine. It’s kind of hard on small game. It’s great for coon. Jim
Money cannot buy you happiness, but it can buy you a trapping license and that's pretty close.

.22 wsm. I have the original bmag. Haven't shot it for a while and never dialed in beyond minute-of-coon-head at 25 yards. It does kill em faster than a .22 mag.
I meant to say .17 wsm

22 mag and 5MM Rem accounted for a lot of early venison in this part of the country over the last 75 years.
I have nothing clever to put here.

I have a Ruger 10/22 mag. I've spent many days smokin' ground squirrels out to 125 yards on a golf course driving range. I own a couple others that are not yet broke-in...

That is one you should consider selling. They bring STUPID money because the receivers cracked on them and were recalled. Those aluminum receivers just couldn't stand up to the 22 mag. Retire it, sell it and buy a $1,000 bolt action with the money.

I like the Marlin tube feed ! Sold one and now have clip feed but it is cranky . Ground squirrel killer with mucho authority and gets them where the 22 LR can not reach . Get one .

I have the Marlin midget magnum in .22 WMR. Takedown model, came with a blue cloth case. I added 1” rings to the grooved receiver and put a decent 4x scope on it. That thing for such a short barrel is very accurate. Mine has two 7 round clips. I got this gun in the 1980s from a small gun shop. Traded a crappy old Remington semi auto that wouldn’t feed well and I think I traded plus like $20 for the marking midget magnum. Best gun deal I ever made. Jim

It’s a great caliber to start little ones on. Makes a good bit of noise but nothing like higher calibers with no kick. I had all four of my boys shooting it fantastic before I introduced them to a 25-06 and larger guns
