Shooting grouse with a .22 rifle

[WildBear]

I've always used my marking .22 for them birds. Few years back I shot a couple just to have them run or fly 10 or so yards into the brush and blend in quite well. After that I switched to a 20g

I enjoy using my .22 rifle for grouse. But then I've also been known to use my .38 caliber longrifle, my .54 Hawken copy or my flintlock northwest gun in .20 gauge.
Good luck to all who go out for grouse this year.
