Yeah, I agree with this.
My JW-15 is set up with an older 4-12x Nikko Sterling Platinum scope for rabbits. One of the Lithgows is set up with a Japanese made Hakko 4x40 with illuminated reticle + topped with an XHP50 torch for spotlighting possums. The other Lithgow I was 'once' thinking of converting to 22WMR...but maybe I'll move it on now.

I wouldn't go out and buy a 22WMR but would jump up to a light 'walk-about' .223 if I was to go up in cartridge.
I already have a heavy barrelled .22-250 in a Boyd's stock topped with 8-32x for the longer-range rabbits.
