Having hunted with and killed all kinds of different game with a 22 for over 5 decades.
The 22rf is under appreciated under rated by many
I’d rather have a .22 with long rifle hollow point rounds than bear spray any day.
The ol’ double tap.
Biden says shoot for the legs, or paws in this case.
If the truth were told, the 22 rd has killed more deer than any other round; legal and not legal kills.
I’d always planned to shoot at the eyes, should that situation ever happen to me.
The thing about shooting a .22rf is that it requires the shooter to actually know how to shoot, accuracy wise that is. Down through the years I too have killed a lot small game up to and including deer with my .22rf riffles. My latest addition is the Chiappa Little Badger single shot w/folding wire frame stock for easy transport. 2.9# total weight. Have either a scope or a laser affixed with a noise suppressor. Just can’t beat it. Love it. It makes me a much better marksman in the process.
If all you have is a .22, it can absolutely save your life from a grizzly attack.
Just one carefully placed shot at your companion’s knee is all it takes.
The Israelis use scoped suppressed 10-22’s for crowd control. 40 grains in the leg will change a man’s plans for the day.
