For many years while living in Michigan, a rimfire rifle was all the DNR allowed for night hunting varmints....they all assumed anyone with a centerfire would just poach deer! While they have since changed the law, and centerfires are used at night, I used a .22 Mag for said purposes. The most accurate was a Marlin 883S tube fed gun and it was a true MOA rifle with most brands of ammunition! I used to practice by shooting Egg's at 100 yards off the bench at my gun club.
