Thread: Pest rifle recommendations

Morning all

I've got myself covered with the bigger calibre bang sticks....but i'm wanting something to take care of the smaller stuff like goats
and other nuisances such as magpies, hares out to a distance etc. We have property on the West Coast so mostly paddocks and riverbeds etc.

I've got a couple of .22LR's but have been thinking about a .17HMR, .22 Hornet, 22-250 or maybe just get a .223.
All very accurate in the right hands and it would possibly come down to the varied availability of cartridges for each calibre.

Can I get your input please?.
