22s are great. People don’t realize how much ammo it takes to harness their skills. It’s cheap to buy to own and to shoot

Pistol calibers aren’t really that much more impressive to me. Yeah magnums are punchy but like, .22 has recoil and smoke too .. .22 is so underrated I just find it super fun

Man I love my 457. Fun to shoot cheap to shoot. I do all kinds of fun stuff with it. Shooting shotgun shells at 50 yards. Plinking at 100. Shoot all afternoon and it costs less than a case of beer.

100 cci sv set you back about 16 bucks. If you are not doing spray and pray kinda fun, it’s enough for a 2 hours session. How much is 100 cheap Chinese 7.62? 50 bucks on a good deal sometimes 60 or more.

The math is simple.

The variety of guns styles & shapes available for that range platform, is also good.

But the lack of recoil oomph, is maybe what keeps swaying owners away from acquiring more of them.

If they were the best for a specific type of hunting, I'm sure they'd have received more popular votes as a suggestion to buy.

I understand some people like the kicking power. I like shooting tight group, practice breathing and holding still.

It’s almost like martial arts for me tbh.

You can imagine grown men in Canada debating which .22 gun they can buy, meanwhile American teenagers are taking M240B, .50Cals, & Stacattos to the range like it's just another Friday.
