Answer 2

There are many 22's. Starting with the 22 rimfire up past the 22-250. I'll "assume" you mean the 22 rimfire. =)

Add to the above lists; raccoon and coyote. With game animals, be sure to use a hollow point .22. Pass on any shots that will not dispatch the animal quickly & humanely and be sure of what lies beyond your target. Only take shots you are confident in.
