Get a 12gauge man and be done with it. You'll never need another gun...

Guys he said he went with a Savage in .223 which will be great for what he wants.Once you go to larger cals the fur starts taking a beating and he wants the fur.

Dano,

The .223 is an excellent choice !

The ammo is available everywhere and inexpensive.


Have a ton of fun and be safe.


I hope you got a shooter !

Hard to beat a .223 for a predator gun. Congratulations on your hunts!
