Comparing the common .22 LR to the 12 gauge shotgun. I have been thinking long and hard about this whole thing. If I could find a over-under 12 gauge/22 combo that has a tube mag for the 12 gauge and a magazine for the .22 shells... it would be the best gun out there. However, I have not heard of such a wondrous gun, but if you have LET ME KNOW.
If I had to choose, the 12 gauge wins it for me, because of the variety of things you can kill with it. I am not worried about adding a little more weight with the shells and the gun itself. The only problem is the bulk of them together.
