I now need a small caliber rifle for small game, what do you guys think? I am partial to lever guns. I am interested in the .17 caliber but have read some reviews that other than target shooting it is a worthless round and I am not into varmit shooting. Another thing to consider is that I will be moving to East Texas in a year or two. I value all opinions. Thanks
