I just need my 22LR for dumb rabbits, 204 for smart rabbits, 12g for fast rabbits, 308 really really big rabbits and all the rest of my guns are for sport.

In short the rifles are cheap, and so to are the rounds. It has no kick means you'll have no flinch reflex allowing you to work on those few vital skills; naturally alignment to the target, maintain a constant sight picture and following the shot through, controlled trigger work and where you chose to shoot in your breathing cycle.

You can mag dump till your blue in the face and still be able to afford a steak and cheese after.

Can also do long range shooting without needed a loooong range

The .22lr is priceless I never leave home without it.

And the headlines read, "Firearms and a large quantity of grass discovered on rural vehicle"

A newbie myself and I wouldn't skip it. About 800 rounds through mine in 4 outings (two at targets). That's a lot more practice than I'd have got if I'd gone straight to centerfire.

It's great just being able to blast away as long as you like and not even think about the cost of ammo.

One thing no-one else has mentioned is that the relatively limited range of a .22 on small game sized targets, esp if you are learning to shoot, means that you end up learning all the basics of observation, sneaking and stalking too.

Also a subsonic 22 with spotlights is a great tool to go possuming with which can get you fur (and $$ for fur) whilst doing a service to our native bush by killing pests.

The small round makes less noise and doesn't alarm as many people/ neighbours

Best things I like are you don't have to worry about loosing brass and they're handy if you can't be shagged reloading.

Read this article the other day, it's a wonder they shoot at all.
