benjamin still makes good rifels. not "the best" but also not 2,000 lol. im sure with good shot placement a .22 can take a deer. i got this gun to try and take out a pig. nothing has gotten away yet. this lil thing is a tack driver! here are 2 10 shot groups testing different pellets. these 2 pellets that i was testing arent even the most accurate from this gun...but are alot heavier for the pig i plan to take.

 

Damn nice shot!

 

next its time to kill a pig. Youll deff have no problem if you should them right behind the ear. its aways worked for me when shooting big russian bore with .22s. This one time me an my cousin were like 8 an we wernt sappose to kill anything in the traps, well we rive up to a smaller trap an this hog had be 650lbs we walk up to the trap not thinking anything an he lifts the trap off the groud with a head steaks an all. We jump bak an open fire, i had a reminton .22 speedster hold 14-15 round i think an at point blank range emptied the entire tube on his for head an then my cousin put another 10 rounds into him it was ******* crazy. one of those must of finally went threw that thick skull cause he hit the ground. After that we always approched from the back an shot them in behind the ear
