They make a good truck gun. They have better range than a typical 22. If you compare animals shot with LR or Magnum. unless it is a brain shot you will notice a big difference. I have a savage bolt action that was cheap and with it's favored ammo it shoots dime sized groups at 50 yards. Better than my CZ 452 LR shoots. It will kill anything you want killed if you shoot it in the right spot. It will plant most medium sized varmints with body hits.
