Jim, agree if you're talking about real hunting but hereabouts we use hardware .22 rifles, in my case the accurate Rem and the so-so Browning and for the distances we're shooting Black Arrow hasn't let us down. I've never seen the exotic super-accurate .22s in these parts because, my guess, is that they're not needed on 50-yard-max rabbits, squirrels and crows. My experience is they're usually too close to call it sport.
