I'd imagine there are lots of .22 shooters here. I
just posted my own experience with a new gun over the weekend.
To a lot of folks the .22 is not cool. That's too bad for them I guess. They will never allow themselves the simple joy of the platform. One obviously experienced Operator at the range looked over at my MK IV and said "that bullet will never stop anyone." I asked him if he'd volunteer to be shot with it and he shut up.
I guess the folks recommending RFC to you have not read over there. I only started reading yesterday and I recognize your handle.
