    I'm not a professional culler, but I sure have shot a lot of goats.
    If I was setting up a specific goat rifle for a mix of farm land and bush I'd set up a .223 Howa mini with a suppressed 16" barrel with a few 10 shot mags. Scoped with a 1.5-5 or 2-7 scope.
    If it was just bush and over dogs it'd be subsonic 44mag lever action with a red dot or tang sight (depends what you prefer).
