I carry a cricket 22 rifle. Its a youth gun and very light. I like it. Went with some guys the other night that had never been coon hunting. Went on their land so I didn't carry my gun. We got to the tree and one guy wanted to know if he could shoot the coon. I told him that was fine with me, but I left my rifle in the truck. He whipped out a snub nose 22 auto an informed me that he could shoot it with his new pistol. 100 rounds later, he finally knocked that coon out. Posted or not, I don't like waking people up at 2 in the morning. New rule for me, don't shoot at a coon with a snub nose 22!!!

i ve been carrying a tauraus trakker for 2 season s , i added a pro point red dot, the tauraus shoots bout as good as most rifles i have or have had, real nice tite groups, handles all 22 ammo to, makes a nice coon huntin rig with the uncle mikes shoulder holster, made for scoped handguns.

i'm looking to get the mossberg .22. what do you use when hunting? do you shoot to kill or shoot to knock out of the tree and dog kill?

i usually use my old marlin .22 rifle. and it depend on wheather i shoot to kill or not. if you got a young dog you wanna definitely knock it out, but for example if its real bushy, ill aim right for the eye if its the only thing i can see.

Crickett 22 bolt action
