It\u2019s great for varmints and critters like prairie dogs, woodchucks, foxes, skunks, possums, and even coyotes. Unlike the .22LR and .22 Magnum it\u2019s a <em>centerfire<\/em> round, and considerably more powerful than those other .22 rounds, although it\u2019s still a good ways behind the .223 Remington in power.<\/p>\n<p>Bullet weights commonly run from 30gr to 45gr and they\u2019re available in a variety of jacketed hollow and soft point loads. Muzzle velocity with a 30gr bullet can run around 3100fps, which is 900fps more than a .22 Magnum with the same bullet weight. Muzzle energy tends to be be in the 700 to 800 foot pound range compared to the low 300\u2019s for the .22 Magnum so the difference is significant.<\/p>\n<p>While those numbers are out of 24-inch test barrels and will drop substantially in the Super Redhawk\u2019s 9.5-inch barrel, proportionally it will still remain <em>well<\/em> ahead of the .22 Magnum, let alone the .22LR.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-543583 size-full\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/5.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/5-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/5-700x335.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/5-768x367.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/5-150x72.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/5-696x333.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/5-1068x511.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/5-879x420.jpg 879w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/5-560x268.jpg 560w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/5.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-543583 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/5.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/5.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/5-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/5-700x335.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/5-768x367.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/5-150x72.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/5-696x333.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/5-1068x511.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/5-879x420.jpg 879w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/5-560x268.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p>While capacity on a varmint gun probably isn\u2019t generally a big deal, the new Super Redhawk holds an impressive eight rounds. Good if you need to take out a whole prairie dig town, or are about to be overrun by a heard of skunks. Recoil should be negligible, particularly with the revolver\u2019s Hogue Tamer grip and the whopping 66 ounces the pistol weighs.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/ruger.com\/products\/superRedhawkStandard\/specSheets\/5526.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">new Super Redhawk<\/a> comes with a Hi Viz fiber optic front sight and adjustable rear sight, and can readily accept a scope or other optic as well. Construction is of stainless steel, which is nice for a gun designed for the outdoors.<\/p>\n<p>While a .22 Hornet revolver may not be for everyone, it\u2019s a handy gun that should find favor with handgun hunters and fans of the .22 Hornet alike. It may not be the most common round you see anymore, but it still fills a niche between the rimfire .22\u2019s and the bigger centerfire rounds as a pleasant, capable mid-range varmint and pest buster.<\/p>\n<p>I like seeing companies like Ruger take a chance and bringing out unique, but functional designs that aren\u2019t just a rehash of what everyone else in the industry is doing. The only missed opportunity I saw with this release was Ruger not naming it the Super Hornet, like the Boeing F\/A-18E and F fighter planes.<\/p>\n<p>Check out the Ruger release and specs for more on the <a href=\"https:\/\/ruger.com\/products\/superRedhawkStandard\/specSheets\/5526.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">.22 Hornet Super Redhawk<\/a> . . .<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-543582 size-full\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4-700x335.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4-768x367.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4-150x72.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4-696x333.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4-1068x511.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4-879x420.jpg 879w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4-560x268.jpg 560w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<p><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-543582 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1500\" height=\"717\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4-300x143.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4-700x335.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4-768x367.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4-150x72.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4-696x333.jpg 696w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4-1068x511.jpg 1068w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4-879x420.jpg 879w, https:\/\/www.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/12\/4-560x268.jpg 560w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\"\/><\/noscript><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><em>Ruger is excited to announce that the Super Redhawk line of revolvers is now available in .22 Hornet.
