So I am in the market for a new long gun. I am wanting to kill two birds with one stone of course....
I am looking for something to dispatch small woodland creatures around the farm. For example Raccoons and horses do not mix. So a 22 LR would be nice.
However I am also thinking about some more self defense if things head south in the country. I know a rifle chambered in .223 will fire .22LR. I know that a rifle chambered in 5.56 NATO will fire .223. Will a 5.56 NATO fire .22LR? Would the magazine be able to handle all three rounds? I would not mix them in the mag, but would like the option to fire all three.
Since I live in Indiana I do not have any sill restrictions on what I can buy. I can also buy 30 rd mags if I want to
