I had a model 24 Savage that had a 22 mag as the top barrel that rode around in my farm truck for 20 years. On chucks, feral cats, barn rats, squirrels and other like size vermin it was DRT out to 100 yards plus with 40 gr hollow points. Killed a good many fox with it as well mostly under 50 yards. Shot at 2 Pa coyotes with it. One at about 50 yards and it folded when the gun cracked. Another at about 150 yards, let out a yipe and never saw him again. Didn't try all that hard to find the filthy bugger to be honest but am confident he wound up dead.

It always amazed me how much better the 22 Mag kills better than the 22 LR
