Love the 22 mag, my favorite was a 512 that I really regret letting go. I bought mine primarily for skunks and coon. It was great out 150 or better on prairie dogs, a lot of helicopters but not much better than 40gr LR. On large animals. Most if not all manufacturers use the same bullet in the mag as in the LR and I believe it is just too soft for the extra velocity, expands or comes apart before decent penetration. Federal 50gr with the slower velocity may do the trick, don’t know as I no longer have a 22 mag, but a body shot on the larger animals with the 40 gr soft lead pushing two grand leaves something to be desired

Looking at a BCA upper or a Henry pump. Can’t really decide which one at the moment. I have a Remington 597 the new one will be for the boy?

I'll give you $50.00 for it.
I appreciate the offer but I’ll have to keep it
I did get a steal of a deal on it from the old timer I bought it from, but for can’t let it go for $50.
I’ve wanted one since I was a kid, almost 40yds later I finally got one.

LGS has a Browning T-Bolt in 22 mag on the rack. Not in the market for a 22mag but that is a sweet little rifle that feels good in the hands. Almost went home with it...still might.
