I like hunting with my Colt Woodsman and my S&W Model 41. The little Beretta Model 87 will suprize you how well it shoots and the accuracy it is cable of . I have killed a number of Coons and Possums the dogs have treeed with the little Beretta. My Model 41 is the pistol of choice when i squirrel hunt with my dogs. The Colt Woodsman is one of my carry pistols i carry when just walking in the woods or fields. I had the NP-3 Roguard finsh put on this pistol and gold bead front sight. I couldn't imagine not having a good 22 pistol around. I do love shooting them .

Those are some nice pistols you have there Bea, and I'm glad to hear that the Beretta is a good shooter. I've never owned one in 22lr, but I like Berettas.
My two most used 22 pistols for hunting have been a Colt Diamondback and a Ruger MkII Target. They've taken a lot of ground squirrels and rabbits. I've also used a S&W M63 but gave it to my stepdad long ago.
These days I also have a Ruger Single Six and a High Standard HD Military. Both were bought used almost 2 years ago. The High Standard is probably the most accurate 22 pistol I've ever had. But it's not as reliable function wise compared to the Ruger MkII.

I like the HD and have owned a number of HS pistols. The last one i own was the Victor and i sold my Diamondback to my buddy last year. I got tired of the revolvers in the 22 lr because they got dirty really quick and reguired cleaning after a couple hundred rounds. Just love the semi-auto.

Like to shoot at, or in the general vicinity of bunnies and grouse. Only rimfire .22 handgun I have is a Ruger SP-101. Nice revolver, but a bit on the heavy side. Used to have a MK-II. I liked it better. Will probably sell the 101 or trade it. Want to get another Ruger auto.

Haven't killed anything with it other than paper. This was an ammo test I did with Rem. "gold" bullets vs. CCI mini-mags. Colums 1 & 3 were the CCI mini mags and proved much more accurate.
The pistol is a Colt Trooper Marksman with a Weaver 1-4X scope. Hope to get after small game with it sometime. Maybe even turkeys - dunno. In my state rifles and pistols are legal for turkeys and a well placed headshot would do the trick.

If you can make a head shot with your pistol on the Wild Turkey you will have something to bragg about, because it never stops moving.

I also have the Woodsman and the S&W Model 41. Both are very accurate. But I would have to say the 2 most accurate rimfire pistols that I own are my Browning Medalist, and my Ruger Competition Target Model. The Ruger is as, or more accurate than most of my rimfire rifles. The S&W Model 63 is my wifes. It's also an accurate gun, but it's a little small for my hands. billt

My brother bought a Charter Arms Explorer pistol and used a Dremel Moto Tool to turn the raised ridge on the reciever into a scope mount. I saw it, bought an Explorer and did the same. Mine would hold 1/2-3/4 inch groups @ 50 yards. They carry great in an Uncle Mike's shoulder holster.

Lotsa tree-rats have fallen victim to my K22. Hard to beat it as an all-around woods-roamer.

I carry a Ruger Single-Six when I'm deer hunting and have killed my share of cottontails,as well as ratttlesnakes.I use the magnum cylinder.Unfortunately I will have to find some unleaded loads for it this year.CCI's Green Load sounds like its more of a varmint load to me and still is not available.But if it's accurate enough for head shots it should be ok.

Here is my Single Six.
I have an unscoped Mark II Target that I use as well.
The scoped single Six is a great way to practice a steady pistol hold since even slight arm/hand movement results in obvious reticle movement.
I keep telling myself I'm going to get rid of anything I can't reload, but the Rimfires keep multiplying. I've got my eyes on a Blued Bearcat and a CZ 453 in 17 HM2 so I don't see an end in sight anytime soon.

I have a S&W mod 17-4 6 inch target 22 and a Lipseys Special SS Ruger Single Six with a 4 5/8 inch barrel and 22 LR & 22 mag cylinders.They're both accurate enough to hunt with.I've carried the 17-4 on hunts it makes a good head shot grouse gun . Last edited on Mon Feb 18th, 2008 02:51 AM by sako06

BEA,
I used a 10 inch TC until I got my Merrill, which is fun to shoot. I carreied a single six while deer hunting for many years. As of late, I like to take my Browning Buckmark target gun out with me. The Buckmark is a real pleasure to shoot and is very deadly of thumper and Mr, Bushytail.

I use a Ruger Mark II Government Target Model and a 50 yr old Ruger Single Six with 9 1/2" barrel. Both do great. No scopes, haven't gotten around to put one on the Mark II.
