    .22 or .223 suitable for tall bugger

    So, in recent times it's become apparent that I need either a .22 or a .223 for pest control and knocking over goats (.223). I have a Rossi .22 10/SA which has the dimensions (for my tall lanky frame) of a childs toy, which makes it less than ideal to use, it needs the butt extending to improve LoP and that'll probably bugger up the eye relief so I'll possibly need to re-scope or remount the existing scope so I'm thinking reserving that for possums.....soooo my question is what .22 or .223 will be a closer fit out the box, anyone with any recommendations? For reference I'm 6'2" with arms like an Orangutan

    the howa mini will suit you they are long stocks Im 6.2 aswell but like a shorter stock so went the ranch rifle way instead maybe an inch shorter not as smooth action though .

    Bruno #2 .22lr are built for full size. Fitting a big recoil pad helps too.
