You'll need unusually stupid varmints. Crows quickly learn what a long gun is and which individual human is hazardous to their lives. They'll post a sentry to squawk a warning when dangerous humans step off the porch. They're hard to get with a 12 gauge. Good luck with Henry's new turkey.
 
Probably do a number on Skunks too.

And the skunk, irritated and vengeful, will teach you how poorly 22 shot works on anything larger than a dragonfly.

Skunk will definitely win the encounter!!!
 
Smooth bore .22s have been around for a long time. This is a gun from my collection, a Remington Nylon 10 bolt action (single shot). It was manufactured in October, 1962. It's a collector's item now, as only slightly more than 2000 were ever made. Works great. Winchester and other manufacturers made smooth bore .22s going back to the early 1900s; maybe even earlier.

$450? No way. For those bucks I will shoot my 22 shot shells from a rifled barrel
There's so many more better guns I could get for $450.
 
You won't cath me buying one of those

For little annoyances, I use my Henry loaded up with Super Colibri ammunition from Aguila or now the recently introduced QUIET ammunition from CCI

Many a critter have been taken with the Super Colibri. his is also the ammunition I use for Novice handgun shooters. In my 22 Masterpiece this is still quiet and has no recoil. Just Great to alleviate the fears of a new shooter

Either is barely louder than a children's cap gun and way more effective than the dust they call "shot" that is loaded into a 22LR shotshell.

I would suggest that before spending that kind of money on a 22LR shotgun, but some of the shotshells and shoot them against a standard heavy weight target a point blank range. You will notice hat some of the so called "shot" does not even penetrate the paper
 
FWIW, not much, about 35 years ago I fooled around with reduced noise .22s. At the time the well known choices were CCI CB caps and RWS cartridges that had no loose powder if their bullets were pulled. Both RWS loads were in very short copper cases. One had 17 grain round balls and other a 17 grain hollow base with a cone nose. Both would only dent fir 1x4 boards at 50 yards. What ever charge they had was underneath a paper wad that was stuck to the bottom of the case. Both of CCI's CB caps used a 29 grain .22 short bullet. One type used short cases, the other long cases. Both would go through a fir 1x4 board at 50 yards. Both were more accurate that the RWS cartridges in my rifles. The CB caps in long cases were a little more accurate than those in short cases. However, it turned out that the most accurate low power .22s were seldom discussed cartridges that are sold for another purpose, international rapid fire pistol matches like those in the Olympics. That's logical if you think about it. Olympians after gold medals need the best low power .22 shorts.
