i dont disagree, honestly even the 22 centerfire is really optional, truth is my observations are something along the lines of its little so use a 22, or its fairly big and or the bears are awake so a big riffle is totally appropriate, fact my favorite combo is rifle for whatever is primary and pistol for secondary, ie 375 and a 22 pistol, or a 22 wmr rifle with the ole 500 smith on my chest. really like the 22 wmr with fmj,s center punched many a spruce hen with no real meat damage.
