Jonjon79 13,358 Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Personally, I like the Barrett M107 .50 cal - it's good for everything from deer to fox to insurgents to rabbits and more. It's good on the rats because it either buries them on the spot or, it leaves nothing to pick up. For squirrels that like to hide behind branches, it's a real game changer. It's a little iffy on pigeons in barns but, on the plus side, it does help to let in more light so that I can see right into the top of the rafters. On nights when the weather is bad, I don't even need to leave home - I just shoot the deer on my permission 1.5mile away from the bedroom window. I wasn't sure my FEO would grant it as a first rifle but, when I explained that I wanted 1 rifle, not loads for different jobs, he was fine 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 As stated, ask the question in the shooting section. You might get more response. A bit more detail about what sort of vermin and expected ranges and people might be able to give their opinion. As it stands your question can be answered as 177 air rifle or 308. You say you want an idea of what to "go for next." What do you have at the moment? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Adam89 0 Posted October 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 Ok, I was a bit vague I think. Small vermin is what I go after at the minute so Rabbits, Rats the littler stuff. I have Air Rifle at present I have a rotex rm8 .177 with multishot clip. But she is an old girl now showing signs of rust:( Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The one 8,482 Posted October 10, 2017 Report Share Posted October 10, 2017 A rimmy and a silencer with a fast pair of heels will account for loads of game Quote Link to post Share on other sites
