The fact it doesn't need a lever to be cycled/loaded would be great for hunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I owned a bolt action .22 for years and hardly used it more than 3-4 times a year despite it being super accurate because it was boring, now own a semi auto Remington and use it much more.

Fisheruk Posted December 23, 2017 Report Share Posted December 23, 2017 I have a Browning 11 shot .22lr semi auto. I agree with you about fun to shoot, but apart from occasional ratting my BA sees most action. Still my new single shot Little Badger in .22lr seems to be very promising and had its first blood last week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 27, 2017 Report Share Posted December 27, 2017 Semi auto does not reconcile with good shooting practice. Blatting targets for fun only. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
