I've often thought about grabbing my swift out of the safe to take to the deer woods and have also thought about getting a .223 for deer, I come to my senses as always when I have to dig around my 30's, 270, 6.5's, 25's, and 6mm cals. There are far too many mild recoiling cals to concider before I choose a 22. I'm sure their adequate for deer but I cringe thinking about drawing down on a 200+ lbs 170 in. class whitetail with a 22. Just me and it may never happen but if it does I plan to be holding a .243 or larger tube in my hands.
