I'm using a Hammerli that I got a the Sportsman's Warehouse for under $125 on sale. Very accurate but noisy, I'm now using Calibri .22 that are like BB caps and very quiet in a rifle.

Post by: high country on May 01, 2017, 06:30:48 PM: I worked for a company that had hundreds of them running around our equipment. I asked about hunting them and they said no.....then they ate about $20k worth of wiring harnesses and suddenly I was back to being a merchant of death.

Fun times.

Post by: Gringo31 on May 12, 2017, 11:18:30 AM: I've killed 8 or so rock chucks this year between 90-100 yards with my Airforce Talon 22 caliber. Sage rats out to 130.

Will cost you $600 or so but if you do, you'll no longer be bragging about 35 yards. Miss at 50 yards and you'll be scratching your head about what went wrong. :twocents:
