I have 14 rifles chambered in 22 Magnum, plus a couple of Savage 24 combination guns and 6 revolvers. I like the round and think that it is a more effective killer on animals over 10 lbs. than the 17 HM2, 17 HMR, and 22 S/L/LR.
My 3 most used 22 Magnum rifles are a Marlin 882 SSV, a Marlin 982 S, and a Remington 597. The Remington 597 is my favorite rifle to use when calling varmint in tight cover, 'cause those instantaneous follow up shoots can come in handy when there is a pissed off bobcat just a couple of yards away from you. I prefer stainless/synthetic for rifles that are likely to get knocked around a bit, but the RAR have a good reputation for being reliable and accurate.
