RE: air rifle or .22?
ORIGINAL: Redneck Bowhunter Well it depends on your preference. I personally like the pump actions offered from henry. They also have a youth bolt model that you could use if your younger and they also have octagon barrel options if you like that. The 10/22 from ruger are excellent guns and the semi - automatic style you may like better. It's really up to you as they are all accurate for small game hunting. |
RE: air rifle or .22?
ORIGINAL: Brod_Man i know the msrp of a 10/22 is like $ 275 or something. i kinda like the looks of savages but im nota big gun nut so i wouldnt know much. also i asked my dad about it and he said that he wouldnt let me hunt squirrels with a .22 rifle becauseare neighbors on one side are kinda close but icould use my 20 gauge for that. ;)but also do you think you could coyote hunt with a .22 win. mag? |

RE: air rifle or .22?
if you are going to get a 22 get a semi auto...

RE: air rifle or .22?
the difference between a 17 and a 17 mach 2 is a 17 is a necked down 22 mag case and a 17 mach 2 is a necked down version of the 22lr. i have a 17 but it is expensive to shoot when a box of 50 costs $11. I would go with a 17 mach 2 if you are going for small game within 100 yards but DONT try to shoot a coyote with a mach 2. i have shot foxes with my 17 that have run for 100 yards when hit behind the shoulder. as a plus the 17 mach 2 shells are only $5-6 bucks a box of 50.
