Small game weapon pack

[trim surge]

.410 bolt action
The one pictured is a Steven's 58B

.17 HMR bolt action
The one pictured is a Savage 93R17 BTV with thumb hole stock

.22LR lever action
The ones pictured are Marlin 39A variants

.25-06 Remington bolt action
This Sako model is just amazing.

Added the .25-06 to round out this list with something even people who don't hunt the smallest game can use.

[odd geode]

This looks cool 😎

[velvet helm]

I'm not so sure a 25-06 is that fitting for the small game pack despite its intended role, I could however suggest a new airgun to fill that role: A 30 Calibre Airgun with pellets for small game and slugs for Class 2 to 4 animals

[toxic kayak]

How about a .222 Remington, I would think a 1-4 would fit it nicely, my freind shot a squirrel with it and it didn’t really expand much. Didn’t blow it up. And I killed my first deer with one, a good rifle all around

[velvet helm]

I was sort of expecting the 22-250 to fill that role, but that was influenced by watching Youtube videos of a guy in South Africa hunting animals like vervet monkey and Egyptian Goose with a 22-250. But from some quick Google searches the 222 Remington would work alright for that role

[trim surge]

As mentioned above I added the .25-06 to entice those that don't hunt the smaller game. I've personally used 75gr .25-06 on coyotes without any additional carnage. I've heard of people using it on foxes but that seemed a bit much to me. I figured it would be a 3-7 rifle. I know a couple people who have used it on bears and it put em down fine. The other options take care of all the smallest game.

[toxic kayak]

I think either it or the .220 swift

[hasty locust]

I would love to see a .357 lever action in this pack.

[toxic kayak]

Me and you seem to have a thing in common

[haughty prism]

A .410 shotgun would be nice as well

[trim surge]

.410 bolt first on the list. Full length barrel 4 round capacity.

[toxic kayak]

What if it were a revolving or lever action

The Gfocre lvr .410 is a really nice one

[trim surge]

I wouldn't mind those. I chose the bolt because I've used one for years for rabbit and squirrels. Honestly I just want a full size .410.

[toxic kayak]

I’ve only ever shot a single shot .410 and it’s good enough I killed a dove with it, agreed any full .410 would be great

[trim surge]

I really like these little SxS.

[opaque matrix]

That 85 Bavarian Carbine looks good too. 😯

[toxic kayak]

Thoughts on a AR or lever action .204 ruger

[orchid pulsar]

We need one of these with new ammo being 000 buckshot (2-3) and slugs(2-4). It should at least be able to use the shotgun scope and reflex sight

[orchid pulsar]

Lever action wouldn't work unless it was a Browning BLR type of rifle with a box magazine but an ar .204 would just be a weaker .223

[orchid pulsar]

We could also look at .17 wsm, if anything might be I'd say that could do 1-3

[split pecan]

.223 ar is undefeatable but this pack is great

[orchid pulsar]

I mean, we got a brand new class 2 herbivore so this would be cool

[kindred spoke]

Hmm interesting idea I would not mind better small game stuff then we have now other then the 22h

[alpine jasper]

Good idea

[orchid pulsar]

.410 shotgun would be cool

[eager basin]

i love the ar 300, but small calibre rifle options sound great, but if it only means being able to use them on class one species i don't know if there's much point. hyper velocity 22lr is far more capable than just class one bunnies and birds. .22 hornet is more capable too. 22 magnum? .222? both good options for this sort of idea i think. .17 of some sort would be an excellent option i think. i'd also like to see an air rifle [.17 and/or .22] for class one, and quiet too. i think introducing sub sonic .22 rounds and a suppressor for the .22 is a good idea. a lever action and/or pump action .22. i would hate for any of these options to be hindered by the smallest magazine size is best mentality though. 410 shotgun would fit in well too, but it really is a much less powerful shotgun compared to it's counterparts. and i don't know why there were no rabbits for the emerald coast map.

[spiral thicket]

Could add a 410 or 28ga shotguns too

[vast vigil]

I really like this idea the 410 I grew up on shooting hogs deer birds about anything that walked as for everything else eh it sounds good

[spiral thicket]

Would give a better use and more ammo types for 410 than just that revolver. Better range possibly too.

[mighty trench]

I have one of those Stevens but it's in 20 ga

[spiral thicket]

Excellent gun

[mighty trench]

Brotha no

[placid atlas]

It’s really good for red deer, I blew the top off a red deer’s heart with a 25/06 shot

Savage 12 BTCSS (1-3) - 204 Ruger - +24gr (1) +32gr (2) +40gr (3)

.410ga with slugs 🙏

[steady gyro]

That’s not a bad idea

[austere sphinx]

I added your threads link to my reserve as I feel its a perfect fit. A dedicated Upland Bird & Small Game Gated reserve. https://discord.com/channels/393040947006406657/1276650924936269937

[orchid pulsar]

2 things,

1. There's a new small game cartridge that's a mirror of the .22lr with slightly better ballistics called .21 Sharp

2. This is Savage's new lever action rimfire rifle, it's a takedown model using .17hmr

[vast vigil]

I'm a die hard fan of mauser savage and stevens so I support the idea of the new lever action

[vast vigil]

Bump

[alpine jasper]

I agree

[orchid pulsar]

[fringe forum]

I would love to see a O/U .22/.410 combo. Perfect for people that don’t specifically target class 1 but still want to carry something for that opportunistic class 1 animal pop

[ashen granite]

This would be absolutely awesome

[flint pecan]

honestly could be a lot of fun but don't see the point if we don't get some more class 1&2 species. possum, squirrel, muskrats, beavers, and groundhogs would be some good ones for north america. with birds we're better of with the 22 or a shotgun, usually a shotgun. and getting a new small game rifle for just foxes, coyotes and a handful of bunny species seems a little pointless.

[ashen granite]

I’d love to have that 204 ruger because I own one irl

[latent nova]

If I can have those sleek, low power scopes on the lever guns I'd be glad

[earnest jewel]

223 should be class 1

[cunning hawk]

Try shooting a rabbit with a .223 and real life and get back to us. I’ll surely be surprised if there’s anything left of that rabbit.

[orchid pulsar]

It works fine. Bullet zips through them without expanding

[cunning hawk]

Idk, I’ve seen people shoot prairie dogs with a .223 and they just rip them apart

[earnest jewel]

I heard that some people do shoot rabbits with 223.

[orchid pulsar]

Yeah, that's because of the bullet type. Prarie dog shooting is more about culling than hunting so they use thin walled highly frangible bullets. The bullets design makes it more or less explode on contact because, it's mostly to prevent ricochets incase it hits a rock or skids along the ground.

Normal bullets are fine,

These, they just kinda shatter into shrapnel.
