When I lived in WA state, I burned thru 1000s of .22 LRs shooting at the local ground squirrels with my ancient Win Model 72 and its just as ancient Weaver 4X scope. Taking down the little rats at 100 yards became so easy I switched to .22 Shorts to keep it competitive. Even then, if the wind wasn't whipping, they didn't stand much of a chance.

While the rifle was made for Shorts thru LRs, the Shorts often jammed and quick teardowns were needed to clear it. I never have figured out what the problem is.
