I don't shoot rifle much and am not a good rifleman .. but
the Ruger American .22 Magnum makes me look good!
I traded into a new Ruger American a few years ago. Nice rifle. I stuck a scope on it and whacked the barrel off to 16.5" since the .22 Magnum gets most of its velocity in about 12 inches.

On the Range it was surprising right from the get-go.
