Default Re: Can Someone Explain Hunting to Me?

and I had my grandfather’s pre-1900 octagonal barrel 22. Back in the day, I was quite a good shot. It was a fearsomely accurate gun that could chamber 22 long rifle loads: I once picked off a running squirrel with it at 40 paces. I preferred it when hunting squirrels over a shotgun.

I'd just like to add that the rolling-block Remmingtons built in this configuration were some of the most gloriously LOUD .22s ever made...
