Hey all;

Need some guidance on what type and brand of rifle that would serve me well on a 44 acre farm.

I would like something:

More on the quiet side as I'm surrounded by acreages

Something that could take care of beavers and muskrats

Something fun to shoot, ideally semi automatic

I was told 17 Mach 2 is the gun that best fits this description, but I have no idea what make is reliable and what price I should consider investing.

Thanks in advance for your opinions...
