On a similar but side note....
I picked up a Savage 24 in 22 mag over 20 gauge (full). I wanted a 22 lr for squirrels but I learned that Winchester makes a sub-sonic 22 mag load. I tried them and they shoot really well and don't destroy squirrels like the 22 mag. They also shoot to same impact as 22 mags out to almost 40 yards. As far as I can shoot squirrels with the peep sight on the gun. And I still have the option of the 22 mag if turkeys present themselves.
