I wasn't sure if you would get much good meat. What about chops and ribs would the be any good or all fatty?

Quite possible with a lucky shot. A grizzly was shot with a 22

That wasn't a lucky shot GW...it was a fairly close, broadside, head shot. Good shot, with good results.

More deer and moose have been killed with a 22LR and other rimfire cartridges than many care to believe.
The 25 Stevens Long rimfire that I received when my grandpa passed away was used for sustenance hunting, it is just a boys rifle too.
Has anyone heard of any of these hogs being seen let alone shot?
