"My farm & 40k that I can take any N. American game animal with 2 rds of .22 Hornet

[hunter63]

That's OK..... a .22 lr will work fine, on anything on the planet....it's all about shot placement.
Just don't use a 30-30, they haven't killed anything since the interweb was invented.........

[Cast-Iron]

Guess I should look into trading my 30-30 for another 22lr...........darned interweb!

Just make sure you trade it for a 70# tacticool 10/22 with a 100 round banana clip. You may only need one round, but everyone knows that you need the weight of a 100 round banana clip to make it shoot straight.

.............But I think someone should have taken him up on the farm and $40K offer.............

I tried, albeit second person. Dang Mod sliced his throat while I went to get rid of some coffee, and then a refill.

The varmints would have at least let their poor ol' grey haired Peepaw set on what was his porch. Now the $40k; tennis shoes, Aristotle shirts, Oreos, iTune apps............. I wouldn't have seen a dime.

Hey, watch it!

When you start picking on the 10/22 you are blaspheming the sacred. And that discription resembles MY 10/22, the famed "three sighted racoon rifle".

Fact is the .22 lr is not really enough gun for good sized racoons. Lord knows I have shot enough of them to know. I just use it so I will not wake up the neighbors.

I have always considered the .22 Hornet a "reloadable .22 magnum". One of those rounds you could really enjoy as a load test platform for when you did not want to shoot a real rifle. I think they fall into the catagory the British used to call a "rook rifle".

The Air Force thought enough of them to require the chambering for their little survival combo gun, but that was before the .22 mag was invented and they wanted more punch than the .22lr.

I never owned one but always wanted too. Then you realize the .223 can be down loaded to the same specs and also has the full charge loading available....

This is making my head hurt. I need to go back and finish painting, maybe the paint fumes will help me think.

Makes you wonder why snipers ever needed a .338 Lapua doesn't it!

"When you really need to reach out and touch something", seriously......

I know that I am resurrecting an old thread but, here is what my NEF .22 Hornet got me last Sunday with one shot. I have killed many deer with it so far.

Yeah they work.......Congrats, man nice buck.

[GI Jeaux]

Thanks. One down and five to go. Our limit is six.

Nice buck, I sometimes hunt whitetail with a 22 k-hornet.

[Batch]

Darn, now I'll never know how to catch fish with a shovel.

Same way you catch them when they don't have a shovel. Just remember a fish with a shovel is a rare catch and so pics or it didn't happen!

[randyt]

there was a time we caught large amounts of sucker with a pitchfork. The pitchfork wasn't used as a spear but was used to flip the sucker out of the water onto the bank. Worked very very well.

[hunter63]

Couple of kids almost won the annual Coho-rama several years back.........biggest fish.....with a 7 iron, small creek leading into Lake Michigan.
Disqualified for unapproved tackle.

No ship........

[Rick]

Well I guess. That was clearly a place for a sand wedge.

A girl was killed here last weekend with a pellet gun accident.

I hope none of the new folks open this thread up and try to follow it.....I mean I know that I am very much a rookie but I have read a lot of the older threads, well okay some of the better ones anyway and this one is really interesting. Where do I find out about the whole chess club sub-culture?

[DSJohnson]

By the way I have two rifles in 22 Hornet and love them. I have killed one deer with that caliber after Oklahoma changed it's rules/laws on the 22 cals being legal. Would NOT be my choice for a "survival" kit but I love shooting both of them. One is an old Stevens single shot and the other is an older H&R Topper.

[Wildthang]

Darn, now I'll never know how to catch fish with a shovel. I don't think he's curled up in a fetal position, I think it's a fecal position. LOL

The best way to catch catfish is Exlax! You just crumble it up and throw it out in the water about 6' from the bank and wait.

When they crawl out of the water to take a poop, you hit them in the head with a stick

I kinda surprised it stayed on point for as long as it did.....When the OP starts out with the interweb equivalent of "Yo mama ugly" or some such silliness....generally it goes sideways pretty fast....and screams Troll, troll, troll.

Guess the OP didn't want to put his money(and farm) where his mou.....typing finger is.....Oh well....was kinda fun.

BTW are you sure the .22 Hornet is a Topper?....that name was used for the shot gun offerings, although there were combo's sold in the '50 and '60,..... like 12 ga/30-30 under the Topper name still looking for one for my small collection.
No worries, just curious......

Want to sell it?
