    this thread has been running a bit now,
    I wonder what sort of country mighty Boosh is hunting, open or tight bush, and if there are deer and pigs, in his goat hunting area's.
    My pick would be a .222 or .223 for goats, and if its open country with longer shots, and deer around a 22-250 or .243, bit more expensive but both much more capable.
    In thick bush country, 3030 or a 7.62x39 bolt action, be both cheap to run, work fine on intended game.
    deer243, timattalon and rossi.45 like this.
