Glad to see some fellow country boys country boys having some fun. Love a .22 mag and a .17, but damn at ten yards even off handed y’all should be able to do a little better than that. I usually try to cut a half inch circle at 50 yards with my .22 before I’ll even go squirrel huntin. Either way keep doin what you’re doin and just have some fun.

My Marlin 22LR with a wood stock and standard barrel was my first gun I got as a kid and it never got any less enjoyable over the years despite having fired many types of weapons.

At 10 yards, should have just done, iron sights, straight up, no scopes. Both are accurate up to 100 yards, so 10 yards. Depending on gun, shooter etc. This is all comments before challenge, follow up to see what happens. Fun to watch. I've shot 22 WMRs, want to get a 17Hmr just for fun target plinking. Been going back and forth for like a year on which I want. If I was a rich man, I'd have both, and a .338 lapua, whole bunch I want. I really want that lever action Marlin 45-70. Have a bunch of dream gun lists. Thanks for the video.

[@pjb9425]

Personally I think the Savage A .17 HMR 17 grain is the best bunny gun on the market right now, shoots straight and over double the velocity of the .22 LR. The .22 Magnum say...30 grain is a little slower than the .17 HMR 17gr (2550 FPS) but carries more weight and has a more curved trajectory. It's all personal preference I guess.

[@223savvage]

I think my daisy BB gun is the best rabbit gun on the market right now!!

[@markthe2nd741]

I think the Marlin with the bull barrel has a tad better close range accuracy, especially if it has the micro groove rifling. Out at 75 to a hundred yards or more I think the 22 mag would out do the 17 hmr. I'd love to see a longer range competition between the two.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Good idea

[@johnathanstorm6939]

I like most of your videos especially the ones we’re you and Paul are goofing off like this video 👍

[@rimrock53]

Tack driver. Start at 25 yards. Then 50 and 100 yards. Drive a roofing nail in the center of a paper plate. When you knock the plate down, move to next distance. See how many shots it takes to drop the three plates. Fewest shots wins. Caliber of your choice. Not timed, but fewest shots. (Safe). Use same gun or personal favorite. 22 LR can be a good choice. Change it up and use a different gun at each distance.

[@johnferguson185]

Both of those calibers are on my wants list

[@bradleyweiss1089]

Try a Magnum Research in 22 mag. Takes Ruger 10 round rotary mags. Or the Kel Tech CMR. It is actually the most accurate of these three. Or the Savage Troy Landry gator skinned stock 22 mag. Very accurate bolt. Put good glass on it and you won’t be disappointed.

[@bradleyweiss1089]

Oh. And all shot best with Federal 50 gr. Good luck.

[@shawndubay4050]

That was a cool challenge between calibers. Got me wanting to try this with my Airforce Condor SS .25 vs Hatsan bullboss .22. Both are high powered air rifles and are match stick accurate. Should be pretty fun to try this.

This was peep sights back then too, from the prone unsupported position. We both went 3 for 3 but his 3 were tighter grouped. My last shot was on the rim of the coin, all three of his were inside the rim. To this day he's one of the best shots I've ever known. He thinks I'm a great shot but I know he's better

Great vid... my first gun was a 17hmr. Remington 597 semi auto. They had a recall but it was a ripoff and I kept mine because I don't have any problems with it..... we were at an outside dnr range and with my father-in-law we got it sighted in. We were hitting dime size groups at a 100 yards... Later went out with the wife. We used clothes pins to hold up our paper targets. As we left I had the bright idea to shoot the part of the clothes pin that you squeeze to open it, thinking the paper would fall.... they didn't thought I was missing. I walked up to the target. I had broke the the tops of the pins off that I was aiming at.

I was thinking at 10 yards the sighting on the rifles would be too far off for being so close. 20 or more would have probably been a better choice. I really enjoy my ruger precision in .22 WMR, 50 or more yards it works really well on. Fun video, it's what shooting with friends is about, just some fun.

Went shooting a while back..had a 9mm, 40sw, 2.23 and a 2shot 22mag. The 22mag was louder than everything.

[@evansmith2279]

The mechanical offset between the height of the scope over the bore is pretty great at that close of a range. It requires you to aim nearly as high over the target as the center of the scope is over the bore.

[@steves3760]

Not to mention that both rifles are probably sighted in at 50 or 100 yards.
