villaman 9,982 Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) How many more times have we got to tell you , both cals will do the same job and the only difference is weight between the k and full length and more shots Edited July 25, 2015 by villaman 2 Quote Link to post

mark williams 7,568 Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Ditto to VM firstly . If it helps you any VW i much prefer carbine as i like to make and use hides as much as possible and it is much easier to handle the shorter version in cramped areas. atb 1 Quote Link to post
villaman 9,982 Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 (edited) I have shot a pigion @65 yards head shot with my .22 witnessed , i quit often shoot rabbitts at 55+ yards as well http://www.thehuntinglife.com/forums/topic/327683-22-none-believers/ Edited July 25, 2015 by villaman 1 Quote Link to post
bigmac 97kt 13,828 Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 And the full length gets you about two inch,s closer to your target than a carbine and a better shot count atvbmac :thumbs: Quote Link to post

bigmac 97kt 13,828 Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 22 bigger pellet harder hitting and for proper shooters as 177 is only used by shooters who like to think they can shoot :whistling: atvbmac :thumbs: 2 Quote Link to post
David.evans 5,323 Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Wrong on both accounts there Mac ! I'm sure VM will put you right on k/e , and 177 shooters are more than capable of matching the .22 boys lol, Atb 1 Quote Link to post
mark williams 7,568 Posted July 25, 2015 Report Share Posted July 25, 2015 Saturday morning debate by David Dimberley Evans eh ? I`m in the same boat as VM lads - i too use both and both short rifles to boot (hides). My preference as you know is .177 as it allows me to thread shots through spindle and such like. If i am shooting open areas the HW 100 ks .22 is a devastatingly accurate rifle but i do practice my milldots on a regular basis. So it`s each to their own i suppose but a nudge to .177 for night shooting especially (but that`s just me). Hope it helps any. 3 Quote Link to post
