SMALL GAME:
The rim fire rifle is ideal for small game from squirrels to cottontail rabbits. If you plan to use a rifle on these game animals you would be well equipped with rifles in the .17HMR, .22 long rifle, and .22 magnum calibers.
The .22 rifle is good out to 75 years on small game, while the .17HMR distances out to past 125 yards on small game.
Let us not overlook shotguns from the .410 right on up to the 12 gauge for small game. My general shotgun load is a low brass #6 shot through #5 is not out of line.
