yes the rifle is way above the pistol when chambered in 22 mag for hunting
I realize that it performs above the pistol. I should have clairified. Does it perform a lot better than the LR in a rifle platform?
Far exceeds the LR
tzone in a revolver a .22 mag performs pretty much like a .22lr does in a rifle. In a rifle, it is a definite improvement in performance.
You know I like my .223 with reduced loads...but you have an itch to scratch!!
I dunno who makes a good .22 mag rifle now....
