[QUOTE="IluvABbeef, post: 640052, member: 3739"] So this is a stemmation off of my other gun thread, since, like I said, I hated to interrupt what was already being discussed because it's been such an interesting read already. Now, the only uses for a gun around where I live is shooting squirrels, pigeons, and a feral cat or two. Not much worry with gun violence around here, as most of the crime with guns is left to the big cities to deal with. So why bother packing iron in the form of a handgun when a rifle will do? I was almost thinking a .22 might suffice, but a gut feeling tells me that I should go with something a bit bigger...especially when a bullet has to go through a thick cow's skull, and other predator threats that have been hanging around for long time now have been coyotes. Not so much wolves and bears and cougars (though there are reported sightings of cougars not too far from here, same with bears), but coyotes tend to know that this ol' farm is a place that they can saunter through as if they own it no problem. And with new calves.... :frowns: Now I know there was a thread started about a similar thing, but it's been a long time since it was posted on...and from what I remember my God there was a whole variety of which gun was better to the point it was mind boggling. Anyway, what are your thoughts: a little .22 or something bigger like a .30-30 or somewhere in between? P.S: BTW, the only time I've proven that I've been a good shot was in a highschool archery contest. I never actually shot a rifle, though I did practice a little when the one Dad had was empty...but I doubt if that even counts as shooting a rifle. :oops: [/QUOTE]
