I find that a pump .22 is best as a field gun. None of my other .22s are as nice to take a walk around the farm with. They're not something I target shoot with, or go out to dump a bunch of ammo with, but if I'm going to use it from practical purposes, pumps are hard to beat.

Also, my pumps can shoot anything from shorts to LR, which is not something many of my others can do.

I may be a bit biased as well...

My Remington 552 will shoot 22 short through long rifle. I’ve never seen 22 long to try.

The Savage 29 my grandfather bought from Sears. I tried to date it, best I could find was that the octagonal barrel puts it sometime before WW2. It will feed and chamber anything other than 22magnums, and it will fire upon breach lock-up if you hold the trigger...just say’n....🤪
To answer the original question, HELL YES!!!
