This video provides an in-depth review of the Colt King Cobra Target chambered in .22 Long Rifle. The presenter highlights its impressive 10-round cylinder capacity, comfortable Hogue-like grips, and exceptional build quality for a .22 revolver. It's presented as an ideal fun range toy, a trainer for new shooters, and a capable varmint getter.

This guide details the installation and initial setup of the Athlon 35CL-640 thermal clip-on device in conjunction with a day scope, specifically the Vortex Razor Gen III 1-10x. The expert reviewer demonstrates how to achieve a clear thermal image and assess its performance across different magnification levels, highlighting the importance of proper alignment and focus for effective target identification in low-light or no-light conditions.

This review examines the Infitac FMP13, a compact thermal sight designed for pistols or as an offset on rifles. While offering thermal imaging capabilities at a more accessible price point (around $700), it presents significant drawbacks for pistol use, including a high mounting profile, limited battery life (3-4 hours), and a dedicated thermal-only operation that precludes standard target shooting. The reviewer highlights its potential as a budget thermal for AR-15s or suppressed .22LR varmint rifles, noting its 4 oz weight did not impede pistol cycling and it held zero over 250 rounds.

This review of the Diana R22 Carbon .22 bolt-action rifle highlights its exceptionally lightweight design (4 lb 6 oz) and carbon fiber wrapped barrel. The rifle features a smooth bolt operation, a free-floated barrel, and impressive accuracy, achieving sub-MOA groups at 50 yards in adverse conditions. While its lightweight nature makes it less ideal for bench rest shooting, it excels as a field rifle for critter control and general plinking.

This review covers the Smith & Wesson M&P 22 Magnum, a new pistol chambered in .22 WMR. It highlights the firearm's lightweight polymer construction, 30+1 capacity, and the innovative Tempo barrel system designed to manage the rifle-caliber rimfire round. The review notes its ambidextrous controls, optic-ready slide, and the significant muzzle flash and report characteristic of the cartridge.

This expert-level analysis from Civilian Tactical delves into the effectiveness and reliability of 9mm snake shot. The video demonstrates that while it can be effective for varmint control at close range, cycling reliability varies significantly between handgun models. Ballistics gelatin tests reveal its penetration and spread characteristics, highlighting its potential for pest control but cautioning against its use on human targets due to the risk of serious injury, particularly to the eyes.

This video provides an expert-level review of the Aguila Super Colibrí .22 LR ammunition, testing its unique primer-only propellant system for sound, energy, and accuracy across various firearms. The host, demonstrating high authority and technical knowledge, highlights its potential for quiet varmint control while noting limitations like cycling issues in semi-automatic pistols.

Jarod, demonstrating high authority and expertise, explains that the optimal truck gun varies significantly by location and purpose. He advises 9mm or .300 Blackout for urban settings like Chicago, .45-70 for bear country in Montana, and suitable calibers for varmint control in Kansas. Durability is key, recommending stainless steel or rust-resistant finishes to withstand vehicle environments.

This video reviews ten new .22 LR ammunition loads for 2025, moving beyond bulk plinking options to specialized rounds for various applications. Expert insights cover performance data like muzzle velocity, bullet weight, and specialized features such as polymer coatings for reduced fouling and unique bullet designs for specific firearm types like revolvers and lever-action rifles. The review highlights innovations in subsonic technology and enhanced reliability for hunting and precision shooting.

This video details a custom Volquartsen ENV build based on a Ruger 10/22 platform, emphasizing its versatility and unique configuration. The build features a 6-inch barrel, Odin chassis, SP Tactical brace, and an aggressively mounted Hollison 515 laser/IR device for night vision capabilities. The presenter highlights its lightweight nature, suppressed operation for quiet use, and suitability for varmint control and potential "crap hits the fan" scenarios, while acknowledging its high cost.

This video provides an expert-level analysis of high-powered PCP air rifles, demonstrating their capabilities beyond traditional airguns. The hosts, with high authority and detailed knowledge, conduct lethality tests on a ballistic skull, comparing .22 and .30 caliber rounds at various distances. They highlight impressive accuracy, modularity akin to AR-15s, and the practical implications of their unregulated status for pest control and training.

This video explores the often-overlooked .22 Magnum caliber, highlighting its potential for varmint control and concealed carry. The speakers, demonstrating high authority, discuss specific firearms like the Kel-Tec PMR-30 and Taurus 942, detailing the caliber's characteristics: high velocity, low recoil, and a loud report. They suggest the caliber's lack of popularity stems from limited media exposure and a general dismissal of '.22' rounds.
