  FFS

  Thats a 300-500m shot. You could hit him with an off the shelf scoped .22. I’d personally go for a .270 but wonder if he’s worth the extra cost… imagine the headline, killed by one of the smallest calibers in common use.

  And why the fuck would you stick the barrel through the fence??

    I’m just saying .30/06 is a classic in both deer and Nazi hunting for a reason

      I love my 6.5, but I still really want a 30/06

    There isn’t a chance that a .22LR would even leave a bruise at 300m, if you managed to deal with the 15 or 20’ of drop at that range. You might as well throw a shoe at him.

    Cmon, let’s get these people using the right equipment for the job. Telling people that .22 is going to do the job is just making sure the job doesn’t get done.

    The best kill is overkill.

      Grand Thumb did a video on .22LR, and it definitely can still do damage at that range. Granted, you’d have to be an incredibly good shot, but could still be deadly

      Oh crap, you’re right. Effective range 140 yard.

      .270 or 30-06 it is then.

      Look, I like to shit on the 22 as much as the next guy but at 500 yards it absolutely could kill. It’s not the most effective at that range but it will do more than bruise.

      You would have to be a incredible shot but a 22 lr will still fuck you up or kill you at that range. It’s always foolish to act like a 22 is a toy round not to be taken seriously.
