My favorite gopher shooting cartridge! I have been out with others using all of the other calibers you mentioned including the vaunted 22 Hornet. My good friend has a Hornet and at the end of the day his comment to was that he had totally changed his opinion of the 22 mag.
In his words, " There wasn't anything that I could do with my Hornet that you couldn't do equally as well with your 22 Mag and your not spending a bunch of time looking for brass! Gonna have to get one of those Marlins.."
My gun is a Marlin 25MN with a Sightron 3-9 scope on it and I have about 6-7 magazines that I keep topped off when in a target rich environment.
