    I use a single action .22 Ruger more than any other gun. Long barrel, easy to aim, instinct shots for ratshot, cheap, durable. Use hollow points for groundhogs. One of my favorite tools.

      I’m heavily in the market for a small .22 rifle soon. I’ll likely go with a Ruger 10/22 because there are so many options, but that Henry Survival Rifle looks pretty cool and I could just pack it in my bag when camping.

        I’ve got a 10/22 takedown that is my squirrel rifle. It took a lot of work to get it to group right. Don’t know if I would get the takedown again, however, I really like the 10/22 design. Would get it over the Henry Survival. The Henry is neat, but is probably a toy unless you’re flying in the artic bush or something.
