22mags are ok,but need a real good hit to kill a ground hog. I perfer the 22 hornet. Longer range and you get instant kills on groung hogs no matter where you hit them.
For a cheap rifle the handi rifle fits the bill.

| I shot hundreds, maybe several thousand of Jackrabbits back in the 50-60s. We could sell them for up to $1.25 to mink farms. They weigh about 25 lbs. Flattened most of them with Winchester Model 61 WMR, open sights. 22 Long rifle was rarely one shot kill. I paid 88 dollars for it new in the box in 1959, and got 5 silver dollars as a "rebate". Worth about 2k today.The silver dollars, 50 each.

| 25 lb jackrabbits? They must eat good where you were! I've shot hundreds in New Mexico and they might hit 4-8 lbs. I have 2 model 61s. My dad bought the magnum around 1960 to shoot sandhill cranes and "domestic" coyotes that his Rem 121 .22 just wouldn't drop. Love the 61's!

| | "....but need a real good hit..." Depends on the distance. At at 100-150 yards, the hit with a "maggie" doesn't have to be anything special. It will put them down. Stop and think about it for a minute. Yes, a .22 Hornet is probably better than a .22 Magnum but a .223 is better than a Hornet and a 22/250 is better than a .223 and a 243 is better than a 22/250.

| Yes they are. I used to use a .243 but then as the area got more built up and what not the 22 hornet is quieter by far.
