I guess I might if I have ran out of bullets. I have shot several on the ground when the dog couldn't finish them. Just don't understand why you would use a gun as a club. More unloaded guns kill people than loaded ones. As far as using a bolt action, you must not have pine trees where you hunt. Hard to cut a hole deep into a pine where all you can see is flicker of an eye deep behind a bunch of limbs.

Best .22 ever made. I've got one thats over 30 years old. It looks pretty bad, its been left in the woods for 6 months before i remembered where I left it. It was leaned against a tree and had fell over and covered by leaves. I pick it up fired it and its never jammed, mis-fired and hardly ever gets cleaned. I've also got a Ruger .270 deer rifle that I would'nt trade for any other gun.

My stainless 10/22 with the solid made composite stock has been tossed around like a rag doll, horse kicked, left in the woods, ran over, dropped in the river, head butted the mules and its not failed to shoot accurate. I honestly dont know how the old Weaver scope (older than I am) has withstood the punishment. The gun is a little heavy, but I like it. I bought a lever action Browning one year and put it in the gun case, decided it was to pretty to use.

I had a 10/22 once.Didn't keep it long.Worst shooting 22 I've ever bought and the worst trigger on any gun I've ever shot.

I broke the stock on mine one night breaking up a dog fight, had it in hand and seemed like the thing to do at the time. New camo stock and it's still working and even looks a little prettier. Back in the day of M1's and M14's those Drill Instructer's had a lot faith in a good butt stroke.

I got a stainless synthetic that's about fifteen years old. Shot a pile of coon and been through the mill and still looks like new. I carry it with the mag full and the chamber empty and when the dogs hear me rack the slide they get real quiet. The mag fits flush so you don't catch it on brush and it's easy to unload and move to a new spot. If you have issues with the mag just go on rimfire central and they will show you how to tune it so it works flawlessly. A 10/22 full of stingers is big medicine on big coon.
