I had a bolt action ruger in 22 mag that was stainless with a synthetic stock, before I lost it in the boating accident. Used almost daily to hunt all manner of varmints. You can easily and cheaply get ammo to match your prey; solid, hollow point, or shot shell. To be honest I cant ever remember cleaning it and it probably still works at the bottom of whatever body of water I lost it in.
I hadn't considered 22 mag...food for thought. I wonder about ammo availability..
pretty affordable compared to any rifle cartridge, and easy to carry 20 rounds in your pocket
I mean, can I find it in stores?
