I agree with 44Man that the pacing method of ranging is especially crude when you consider difficult terrain. Keith's measurement may have been more of an educated ( and very well educated at that)...
I like the 22A or 22S Smith. I had one and traded it some years ago. I now have a MKIII Hunter and it's a good shootin piece too. Just mounted a scope on it and plan to reduce the population of bushy...
