I probably use mine for squirrel hunting more than anything else. I love to plink but don't get that much opportunity to do so. Most of my non-hunting shooting now is for sighting in (and re-sightiing in) scopes for hunting.

I just different over here in Indonesia.....Rimfire ammos cost about an half dollar per piece (whatever the brand is. Elley is the most expensive, perhaps around 0.7$ per piece now)......A good sniper match type ammo costs about one dollar/piece......A local made milsurp ammos cost at about 0.2 $ or 0.4$ per piece, depends on the types. (all rimfire ammos, and sniper match type ammos are imported stuff). I shoot mostly for target/benchrest shooting, and mostly for centerfires, so i shoot rare for the rimfire. With those conditions, i shoot the local mil ammos for practice positions shooting, and use the imported for the matches. For benchrest shooting, i used all imported ammos, both for practice and/or in the match. seb.

About 50/50 plinking and smallgame hunting. Most relaxing shooting I can do and have been doing it for almost 60 years.

There is definatly something relaxing about shooting 22's. Maybe because you take breaks to load magazines or for barrels to cool. Maybe because there's no recoil or noise.
I'd rank it right up there with muzzleloading in terms of "relaxed shooting".

I'm stuck with plinking, here in my old age - will turn 74 in a couple of weeks. It was hunting, for a long time, and I put meat on the table many, many times in the 1930's and 40's. Got my first .22, a Stevens Favorite single shot in 1937. In all the upper Big Thicket of East Texas the rabbits, squirrels, quail, dove, and ducks trembled at the sound of my name. Small game was taken with .22 Shorts that sold for 9¢ a box at the company store. The ducks were illegal with a rifle, even then, but not as illegal as the deer my adult relatives would take with a .22 but it sure beat being hungry.

Hello, This is my first post here. I voted plinking because I guess that is what I do most, just putting holes in paper targets. The smaller hole the better. I shoot a Ruger 77/22, a Marlin 17HM2, and a Winchester Model 52C. I don't hunt squirrels because I really don't care for them on the dinner table. I used to when I was younger because my parents loved them.

Mines a 22 mag 9422. So ammo's not really for plinking. I got them mag rimfire cause i shot a fox 3 times hard with dad's 22 single shot and it keep on running till the third shot with trap attached to leg. Got a bit more punch.
I got a mark II target pistol for plinking.
