I was being sarcastic for God's sake.
Growning up as a pre teen, I had the BEST 22LR a kid could ever hope to own IMO (about 45 years now as my aunt gave it to me when her husband died). At 50 yards with decent ammo on a rest, you hit what you were aiming at if you did your part.

I just find it amazing that I was lucky enough to kill a ground hog with it within 50 yars with one shot.
Also got another ground hog within 50 yards with the .22 below

FYI, I believe people could take a groundhog with a .22 pistol, but in all honesty, I'm not good enough to try and take the shot because the animal deserves better IMO.
I've done enough shooting to know that the gun doesn't make the shooter, but a decent gun you trust can sure in heck help.
Details on the two rifles! :licking:
:laughing:
I have an early 70's Remington 580 that I bought with my father after shooting on a YMCA team for several months. I was a tiny kid and the Y rifles were just too heavy for me. On a 50 foot range it was just as accurate as the most expensive rifles the better off kids on the team had. I mean, a 10 is a 10 no matter what gun shot it. :thumbsup:
