The 22 Rimfire is not going to go away anytime soon. We Americans shoot a lot of it, I know I do. I average two to three bricks a month. For those of you in Rio Linda a Brick of 22's is 500 shots. I like shooting golf balls off hand. Its good training for big game hunting, since we can't go to the dump like when we were kids and shoot rats. That and Grey Squirrels keeps the eye and trigger finger in shape. Sometimes just going out with some pistol's and empty soda cans is a great way to spend a afternoon. They write about the Joy of Sex, but never the Joy of the 22RF. And now that Blaser makes a 22 RF Barrel for the 93 I am a real happy camper.
