Just picked up 4 more boxes , they are going for 12.99 here . Not sure why i never owned a .22 mag before ?? Seems to be a very good little round . I have a 3-9x50 Simmons Blazer on mine . Nothing fancy but it will do for now . I shot 4 coyotes with my .17 and it did the job , all one shot kills BUT i like the idea of a 35-40 grain bullets better and don't want to pay the $$$ for a center fire ammo , don't own any center fire guns anymore . Never hunt any big game during the general seasons anymore ( since 1975) TOOO darn crazy for me . I do hunt with a .50 cal Encore muzzle loader during the muzzy hunts but that's it , ''But'' may not after 2011 if our UDWR has its way ,and they screw everything up as they are planning . They want to combine the elk and deer season and only give us 8 days , right now it 8 days for each . The place i hunt deer has no elk, and the place i hunt elk has no or very little deer, and only 8 days in the field compared to 16-20 is a joke . Depending on what they do in 2011 i just may stick to small game/birds and coyotes .
