tj, just a quick utility rifle input from el dorado,
for small stuff and plinking i have a remington 597 .22LR, its been great. lots of folks love there ruger 10/22s but the remington compares really well in my book. cant go wrong w/ that gun.
for larger stuff and target practice i have a ruger 96/44. its a 44mag lever action carbine and a real treat to shoot.
