And I've known several people who bought a 22 WMR for a plinker because it was more powerful.

I think it probably was Bots, buying under hundreds of accounts, but delivering to same address.

I have a Marlin 1894 lever in .22mag. One of my favorite guns to shoot. I'd rather go plinking with a 22mag, than a .223 semi-auto. Also great for shooting racoons, skunks, possums and rabbits. The .223 just seems like overkill for them.

I like the .17 HMR too, but the good old .22LR is a great ranch gun. Over the years my old .22 single shot rifle has taken hundreds of coons, possums and skunks, plus the occasional coyote. It packs plenty of punch for small game, though I learned early to use hollow point. Ball ammo just pokes neat little holes in a critter without doing much damage.
On the subject of "silencers."

Just got in from shooting the Henry with 9 y/o daughter. And had an interesting thought, at least to me. The Henry had SO much nicer, better trigger then her CO2 Umarex. That airgun has a trigger that takes 2 fingers for a kid. No way that helps them much on learning, beyond safety, ect.
She did like having a red dot, its 100% second nature for a kid to put the dot on the bullseye, over lining up leaf sights.

Happy Easter to everybody!
Just to share.
Some time ago I've posted a video story about an SMG creation in Lithuania. It was in my language.
Since I've made it in English and posted today on YouTube, I thought maybe someone would like to watch it.
Here it is:

Savage A Magnum or Ruger 10/22 in .22WMR (.22 mag) semi auto?
Need help deciding. Really like the A22 Magnum Pro Varmit with Bull barrel except the price ($709).
Also like the A17 “heavy barrel”, perfect, but don’t see a .22 WMR variant.

Since I have a .22 mag pistol I want a rifle to go with it so I'm in a similar boat. I have a Savage .17HMR bolt action which is tempting since when available they're cheap, but the Ruger would be nice when you can find that hens tooth...
There are some Marlin WMR semi-autos out there, too.
