[QUOTE="Running Arrow Bill, post: 278397, member: 9"] When needed I pack a Baretta 96 .40 cal and/or Remington 870 pump 20 ga. Even a 20 ga with buckshot can do a lot of damage at 50 to 100 feet! I'm amazed at all the people that actually have and use those .17 cal and .22 cal rifles! They're ok if you hit dead center at a critical organ and the animal isn't very large (small varmits). I'd think one would want a .223 or .243 at the minimal for varmit shooting. Something larger is even better. You need 1st shot stopping power regardless of where the animal was hit...if you miss a critical organ, then it slows the animal down enough to finish it off with a 2nd shot. [/QUOTE]
