So everybody, what are your favorite small game guns? Airguns, shotguns, rimfire, the works.
Hunt 'em up!

Already been said; but a 410 Bore and 22LR O/U rig would be really sweet. 

Either a 22 lr or a 410ga and sometimes a 20 ga!

10/22 ruger semi auto and a 223 savage for the long range gophers. i just hate when they think they are outta range and sit there and laugh at you......untill i got the 223 now they are no longer safe and i get the last laugh

LOL, and he who laughs last laughs hardest!
My go-to small game gun is my Savage Mark II in .22LR loaded with 36-grain Hollowpoint Remington "Golden Bullets", but I'd really like to get my hands on a Henry H001 lever-action .22LR in the near future. I have used a .17HMR for small game (went fox hunting, got bored and started shooting squirrels) but I find that the damage to the meat is a little more than I like with my choice load of the 17-grain Hornady V-MAX. Damage could be lessened significantly by using 20-grain FMJ's, but my .17 is my varmit gun anyway.
Hunt 'em up!

I use an old marlin model 60 for most of my squirrel and rabbit, but ive got an old h&r o/u 20ga 22 mag thats probably my favorite since i got it for 35 bucks in a poker game.

12 gauge and my .22 single shot

Depends on the small game, for quail and dove my 28 or .410 doubles, for rabbit and squirrel my .22 Ruger bolt action rifles (I have Two)

Mine is my 1000 fps 177 cal air rifle. I can take down a good sized squirrel from 20yrds no problem and the best part its quit.

crosman storm xp knocks'em dead

I have a TC Encore pistol chambered in 45/ 410 The 410 is a lot of fun on rabbits.

.17 for tree rats, 20 gage for rabbits etc.

Ruger 77/22 with leupold m8 on it. Shoots to a large hole at 50 ydswith 40 grain solids... Brand irrelevant

I use my Bushmaster M4 for small game.Great for coyotes and everything in between on 4 legs.

I use an over and under .22/20 guage for squirrels. I usually try to get'em while their sittin still with the .22, and If I miss I have the 20 guage to try and get'em on the run!

won a tristar 20 ga. o/u this spring. seemed like a cheaply made gun, but after some pheasant, grouse, and squirrels i love it. very light and easy to handle

lot of folks pick up a tristar and think that..I won one a few yrs ago...and it's taken a butt load of pheasants..just because it's light weight don't mean it's cheap or cheaply made...solid lock up and very smooth, really nice swing for a light gun and a breeze for those long day hunts...nice wood also...I wouldn't want to shoot a bunch of long range trap loads all day with it though although for my favorite, it's my mod 1100 28ga...good for upland, squirrels and bunnies...although for my favorite squirrel gun is my MKII Ruger with the 10" bull barrel...

Zastava (now Remington Model 5) .22LR and a Savage Mk 2 .22LR(both serious tackdrivers) or a Stoeger 20 Ga coach gun for cottontails. An prewar Stevens 410 single shot and a Marlin 32-20 for squirrels (76 gr lead bullets at 800 fps); 17HMR (H&R Handi-rifle) for jackrabbits. (or whatever handgun happens to be on my hip at the time.)

I like a .22 or a shotgun of any guage. This spring I'm going to use my bow though...

Too darn many to list them all,but lets see!
I like my 1022international model alot for squirrels!
Then there's my old Ithaca 72 Saddlegun 22LR that I bought when I was 14 !
Then there's the Reminton #3 Rolling Block a friend of dads gave me when I was about 12 !

For rabbits I like my 16 SxS alot,or my old 20 Mossberg,or my Contender with the 45/410 barrel!

For Pheasants and waterfowl I like my Browning 12 o/u,or my Ithaca model 37 12Ga.

For Turkeys I have a Mossberg 835 with a 2x Diamond retical scope,or a 3 1/2" 870 !

For those squirrels that poop and pee all over my deck railing when my wife puts out her bird feeders AGAINST MY WISHES on the deck,I have a RWS Model 350 Magnum in 177 that SMOKES squirrels ot to 40 yards and beyond if I do my part!

For coyotes at night when my local regs require it I use a 17HMR Marlin with 20 grain xtp bullets,or a Marlin 22WRM with Vmax bullets.
When regs alow me to use a centerfire I use my Encore with the 223 rifle barrel,or my Remington 725 in .244 Rem ( 6MM Rem )
I just bought a Rem Model 7 in 223 that I think might become my truck gun due to it's small size,and it might have to put some song dogs to bed!

There are others that I have used from time to time also,but these are my basics!

NEF .410 Full Choke is my go-to. I'm lookin into a .17 or .22 Mag though.

If am hunting rabbits or quail in thick cover I will take my H & R single shot or 870 with 18 1/2 inch barrel. Both are great light guns for all day walking in thick cover. In fact went today and bagged a rabbit after my dog jumped it. Also because they are short it is easy to shoulder the gun for a quick shot when your in briars or honeysuckles. If I know I will be bird hunting in open fields, (quail, pheasant, chukkars) I prefer my SBE with a 24 in barrel. This gun is simply awesome and great for follow up shots if needed.

For bunnies and tree rats, I like to use my Remington Nylon 66 .22LR.

.22lr for tree rats and a 20 ga for the rest.

I love my bolt action Marlins I have one in both .22 lr and .22 mag. I have tryed a few .22 lr semi-auto rifles but didnt care for them. The bolt actions are more accurate and more reliable.

It's hard tpo go wrong with a quality 22 lr or mag. For more versatility though, a 20 gauge with interchangable chokes or a modified choke if not interchanghable will work for everything from Rabbits and squirrels to deer with slugs or buck shot.

.22 Caliber Crosman Air rifle. It is light, very accurate, and has great knock down power for squirrels, rabbits, racoons
and crows, plus it allows you to hunt private lands and farms that are within city limits, since it is not a firearm .

I just went exotic this year. I'm using a highly modified Benjamin Discovery .22 complete with muzzle brake, custom wood stock, simmons 3-9x35 scope, custom sling, bipod, adjustable dual fual powerplant, and custom 10 round speed loader clip dropping Predator International Polymag pellets into the chamber. This thing is so accurate in my hands I can shoot the head off a match at 25 feet. If Crosman, the makers of the Benjamin line saw this thing, they wouldn't recognize it. I expect this gun will totally exterminate every last groundhog, muskrat, and squirrel I am tasked with getting rid of this year. I intend to try and eat these things this year. I'm a bit iffy on the muskrat, but the rest of these things I'm told are tasty.

AR 15, 22 mag, 22-250, 223 rifle, 17 HMR

Savage model 24 .22 mag over 20 gauge.

i love using my gamo whisper .177 with gold plated pellets nice 1200fps hits hard have taken mallards, goose, tons of squirells, and birds from 20-30 yrds aways im actually going to try to get a video of getting a fox with one since there is alot of debate if it can be done or not lol.

I try to change it up depending on the area i am in at the time. If its very wooded with a lot of brush i tend to use a 2 3/4in 6 shot shotgun and if its a more open wooded area with less underbrush and fields i use a ruger 10/22

I use a marlin model 60 22 or an old side by side 20 gauge.

My "new" favorite small game getter is a Super Comanche pistol in .410/.45lc. Prior to that a 16 ga. single, or .22 revolver depending on the circumstances.

A .410/.22lr o/u would be near the top if not at the top of my small game list.

For tree rats and bunnies, either my Remington 597 .22, or my Stoeger .20 ga. O/U.  For turtles in my pond, I love my mini-14 because I love to see 'em get blown completely out of the water as they explode and make catfish feed!!!!!!!

Rt if you're blowing up snappers try shooting one in the head and then making a batch of soup. You ain't et better.

For me bunnies and grouse run neck and neck.

honestly, i would just go to my .22 or my pse bow for suirrels. their good target practice if you want to be an accurate bowhunter.

Gut, I shoot the big ones in the head, if they're where I can retrieve 'em.

carnaud, I might put a bow on a gift wrapped package every now and then, but that's the only type of bow I touch these days. Years ago, I did shoot a recurve, but never hunted with it. These days, if I had to use a stick and string, I'd go hungry. Parkinson's will do that to you, especially coupled with neurological damage from strokes. Besides, according to another thread you started, you were questioning whether to purchase a .22 or a shotgun, so are we to assume you bought a .22?

WHY hasn't anybody taken redneckwhiteboy to task. I was reading back on some posts and he talks about killing mallards and a goose with a 177 pellet gun. That's a violation of Federal and State Waterfowl laws!!! Either he's a lurker or a friggin moron!!!!! Either way can we as responsible hunters tolerate what in effect amounts to a poacher in our midst?

What post/thread was it gut?

Page 2 of this thread. About halfway down the page.

What are we supposed to do? YELL AT HIM? He's only on here for the free stuff anyway. Look at his profile.  We'll probably never hear from him again.

Whoops, ok thanks Crosby87. Good point as well.

G2 Contender 22 pistol.
