Ah so, .22 is big enough for any youth in Asia.

Long ago an Minister of the Crown in NZ was asked what about his thoughts on euthenasia
"I think we should look after our own kiddies first"
Interesting rifle, I imagine it would be for vermin control, certainly not for use in New Zealand as I have never seen such a thing here. The .303 was standard for that
I might add I have shot plenty of cattle out in the open with a .22, it put them down just like that

that sounds like a fairly precise shot for 22LR. A friend of mine managed to take a bunny at 140 yards, but it took four rounds and a very cooperative bunny to do it.
This one is going to be problematic I can see.

PS. That really was a terrible joke

It is a precise shot
We always used solids and the spot is an X running from eye to ear, frontal with the head a little lowered so as to get right angled penetration
The great thing is if you miss (and I have) there is not much reaction and there is time for another. Mind you that is when the big guns may be needed

I guess the upside is that you get a small entry hole, and no exit. I'm told thats why Mossad use it.
I think Holt's had Karamojo Bell's .22 Savage in its last sale, and I know that was good for Buffalo. Made quite a comparison against James Sutherland's rifle in Bonhams. .577 Nitro monster.
