Interesting observation. A couple bandits accosted a couple in South America about 4 years ago. Dumb move. The guy in the car was an Olympic speed shooter. The bandits died of shots through the eye with a .22 cal pistol.
I love it! Some of the sniper site's are now saying the best sniper gun is now a .22.
My last purchase was a Rossi shotgun/22LR Matched Barrels( I think I am saying that right). It is sweet! FRIST shot my husband said you missed the whole target, we went to look, dead center.
