Well I got interested in 22mags in 1991 to hunt coyotes during the archery season for deer in Tennessee because you are limited to rimfires. My first rifle for yotes was a Marlin 25MN and I also bought a Taurus 941 so I could have a rifle/pistol combo. Although the Marlin is gone the Taurus is still working hard every fall . The Marlin was replaced by a BRNO ZKM611 auto and I have also added a Ruger Single Six convert able and a CZ452 both 22 mags. I just love having a pistol with me. What are you guys doing
