"So, I want to buy a rimfire as my new primary gun.
Here's the list of animals I'll be shooting (I'll tan pelts from all of these):
--Raccoon
--Coyote
--Red Fox
--Bobcat
--Groundhog (yes I will tan these)
--Beaver
So, my question is, what caliber rifle do you guys recommend I get that can kill all of these without a long tracking job (instant drop with chest shot is ideal, but probably not gonna happen) and without tearing them up too bad?
If you guys can recommend a specific gun and a relatively cheap scope with a target knob (you range the target with a finder and then turn a dial to set the distance on the scope) too, that'd be awesome."






Good Luck.

A 17 WSM Might do all that.
