    I am a just recreational hunter, however I work with a lot of professional pest control contractors. All have a selection of tools including PCP, 22lr (all run subs), 17hmr, AR based 223 (because, professionals) and 12ga. They use the right tools for the job in front of them, which could range from shooting pigeons on a construction site to aerial control of goats. However none of this is relevant to the orginal question.

    Given you have a PCP, which is accurate and very cheap to run, get the .17hmr, I can assure it will be brilliant fun. Put a surpressor on it.
