   I love a .22LR, and with an accurate rifle they are great fun plinking annd hunting out to 60m and sometimes even more.
But u need a lot of space for a .22LR. Bullet travel past targets and especially richochets are things you have to really consider. U need space.. but great if u have it 👍🏻
Ive shot both .22LR and PCP’s for a long time and I enjoy both. .22LR always had the advantage of a 40gr bullet hitting harder (much harder!) the a 16gr pellet from 50m and out, but these days if you consider that you can now get a pcp that will push a .22cal 40gr slug at .22LR velocities, (sub and super sonic) and it’s quieter and more accurate then a .22LR at 100m… where does that leave the old .22LR?
I’d happily swap my Anschutz .22LR for an FX Impact in .22cal with a slug liner and never look back… 😉
