I have the Ruger convertible single-six as well. I have used it to take many armadillos, squirrels,and other vermin. I enjoy using it very much.

how accurate are the single sixes swiching from 22lr to 22 mag dose the 22 mag ammo shoot accuratly

because this will mainly be a hunting handgun i would like to use 22 mag.

i use the 22 buck mark for target

i was also looking at the new s&w in the new 17 hornady magnum rimfire.

I've owned a couple of the Ruger convertibles and they both were noticeably more accurate with the 22 mags as compared to 22LR.

Just goes to show every gun is a law unto itself. I have found just the opposite to be the case with my single-six. The accuracy was okay with the mags, but better with the lr cartridges. There are times I'd like to have the mag, but usually just keep the lr cylinder in it now.

very interesting i will have to get together with a few of my friends and see what i like or go to a local gun shop and try one of there used guns if the modle i wish to buy

i always buy brand new i havent bought a used gun in 2 years now

A friend of mine has one that, according to him, also prefers the LR.

I was always skeptical of his claim, but prehaps I was unfair in my judgement.

Oops

I also own a Ruger Single Six, in fact have had several over the years. My current model I do not use the 22mag cylinder, but I have used it with the others. Accuracy in the other two I've owned has been good in both calibers but 22mag was always slightly better.
