Thanks, ever so much for THAT mind picture!


Another advantage of the .22 mag is the "pocketability" of the ammo, as opposed to greasy, waxy LRs. Ammo for my Hornet is pocketable as well, but if I lost one, I'd be inconsolable.


"Pocketable" is why my friend, Andy, is a die-hard Marlin 983S guy. He loads the tubular magazine and goes hunting, no magazine to lose and nothing protruding below the stock to get in the way when it is being carried in one hand. This is a guy who carries that rifle at least 300 days per year, heck, I don't think that he leaves home without it.
