.22LR => some information please
i want to buy a .22LR to eliminate some moorhens,pigeons,rabbits,jackdaws,magpies and some jays. is this the right choice? the distance is about 50meters or in feet 150ft. does this rilfe makes al lot of noise? => if not i could shoot several in a row...
and what other animals could i shoot then? what brand should i choose (remington? Luger? winchester?....)
thanks

Ruger makes the best .22....Any type of gun is going to be loud but rabbits, at least that i noticed, have a tendecy to run away but stop. If you have an good scope or good at open sights (assuming the shot is safe) then you would be able to take a shot. The only flaw of an .22 is its not that great at longer shots but then again all guns are unless its an high powered one.

.22's make next to no noise. And they are as accurate and will kill a some animal as far has you can hit it good.I would recomend a Marlind bolt. But you'll have to look around to see what gun you want and how much you want to pay.

As for type of ammo, the regular lead-tipped ones aren't very good because they did to jam easily and you'll spend more time fixing then shooting.
