[QUOTE="Eaglet, post: 377081, member: 3756"] I grew up around single shots 22LR. Not everyone could afford one. In Nicaragua was legal to hunt deer at night, using spot light on your head and iron sights. I figure 40 years ago 22LR ammo was not as good as is today, yet we killed anything from rats to deer. Remember Nicaragua deer is not even close to be as big as a mule deer or white tail; still you had to hit them right, and ammo was so expensive you could not afford to miss. I remember the local gun shops would break open a box of 50 and would let us buy them by units. If my memory serves me right, a box of 50 round ran at about 9.80 Cordobas per box; back then 9.80/7=$1.40 per box (Dollars) and of course buying less than a box (by units) would be more expensive. My first kill ever was a large cotton tail about 12 yards away, shot him on the head because that's all I could see and my dad was so proud. He had only given me one round and said: "Young man, that's all you have!". 22LR brings lots of memories, laughs, stories... just a great little cartridge. Sorry for making it so long! [/QUOTE]
