Guys,

Now that I moved back to the country, I realize I need a varmint rifle. The area is full of yotes and I also want to be able to scare my feathered neighbors away from the pond as well. I am looking for suggestions on what to buy. My property line is about 200 yards off my deck so I am looking for a gun that can reach out that far. The kicker is, in that same direction, I have neighbors about 3/4 of a mile away so I don't want a long range round. I am currently thinking a 22 shooting shorts or longs hollow point. I don't want to spend a bunch of money on the rifle and scope. Any suggestions on what to buy that will "get er done," not scare the crap out of the neighbors and not break the wallet?

Thanks!

Bill

Why was your Savage re-barreled to shoot the Aguila sub-sonic bullets?

(I think a suppressed .22LR shooting sub-sonic bullets would be an excellent tool when trying to eliminate multiple varmints.)

Because the 1:16 wouldn't stabilize the long 60 grain bullet. I went with a 1:9.
