the only other single shothere in Canada that is quite common is that little badger with the wire stock. folds in half carry's like 10 shots in the stock.For snuffing varmints in traps....captured animals at nearly point blank range......what are the weapons of choice?
At the farm, then and now.......we always use a .22, single shot, bolt action Rifle and .22 shorts. Remington 510 targetmaster if it matters. You could even shoot CB caps with it. Here I use a Ruger pistola.....22 LR.
If a person were shopping today for such a weapon, the two modern era options that come to mind are the Cricket (pink stock for the ladies) and Savage Rascal. Goal is a bare bones single shot .22 bolt action....one capable of handling .22 shorts. Any others I'm not aware of?
Or perhaps a .22 air rifle? I've got a .177 that will put a pellet through a 3/4" pine board and it only runs 875 fps.
Love that thing!the only other single shothere in Canada that is quite common is that little badger with the wire stock. folds in half carry's like 10 shots in the stock.
