Although I'm an avowed pistolero, even I recognize that one .22 rifle is not enough. For plinking, I have my grandfather's old Remington Sportsman 341. It's an oldie, but a goody, easily ridding the world of English Sparrows at 50 yards with regularity. Next, for more serious work is my father's Winchester Model 75. Another oldie, complete with a 10x Unertl scope, it very accurate and has accounted for scores of the little plastic green army men at 100 yards. My tack driver (literally) is my Savage/Anschutz Match 64, with which I can shoot the staples or tacks holding the targets off at 50 yards. I believe with the proper person behind the trigger (not me, I'm a pistolero remember), I believe it would put every shot in the X ring at 50 yards with the proper ammo, no problem.

Now if you ever want to talk about hand guns, I'm currently at 11, including the .22 barrel for either of my TC Contenders.
