Armadillos

if you want to use it for deer too why not jump up just a little bit to a .243? Recoil is still very manageable and the little extra power cant hurt plus the .243 is a pretty flat shooting round.
 
My grandpa's neighbor decided that his .22 wouldn't be enough to get through the shell so he decided to use his 30-30. He only did that once before he decided it was more work to clean up all the pieces than to just use the .22
 
I suspect that a gun is not necessary for killing armadillos. I have never tried it but it seems like you could run one down and kill it with a club.
 
Armadillos carry leprosy...yup leprosy. Google it and you will see.
I shoot them all the time with my .45 cowboy action gun and its a blast
 
hate these little creatures. a few times per year they show up for a week or so and "airate" my yard for me. near break my knee or ankle every time. they showed up 3 days ago. thinking about staying up tonight to do some "plinking" when they arrive. unfortunatly we have been having a big bear visiting this week to and i dont want to deal with her if need be

People either already know or soon find out that the .22 has it's uses. Not only is it a versatile cartridge, but there are some things, like killing rats, prairie dogs, and other smallish varmints, where larger hunting catridges can't be substituted.
