Hello,
Two days ago, I lost a duck to turtles (yes, TURTLES!!) in my pond. Last night, I found a 6 foot snake in the hen house, which I dispatched with an axe (although not before it struck at me twice).
So, I'm finally ready to buy a varmint gun like my wife has been begging me for the past 5 years.
I'm an ex-Marine weapons platoon sgt who fired high expert with his M-14 or M-16 at the rifle range four years straight, so I know about guns and how to handle them. However, I've never owned a weapon as a civilian so know little about civilian weaponry, and I doubt they will let me rustle up and M-14.
So here I am for advice. What's a good all-purpose rifle for varmints? I need one for snakes, coons, possums, and turtles, maybe a coyote. We have bobcats around here but they don't tend to come up close enough to the house to worry about.
I don't need one for home protection, since that is not something I tend to worry about. Just a good, all 'round varmint killer.
Types of guns would be good (22, shotgun, etc), but brands would be nice to know about as well. I figure some may be more reliable or accurate than others.
So, what's your choice of weapons when it comes to killing critters?

It would be overkill and it wouldn't be ideal but if you wanted an M14 you could have one

Shoot the ducks, keep the turtles.

Budget?

>>33154186
Yes that is all I would like to use it for as I mentioned. Of course I like nice things, I have a nice pension so I can afford to spend a little. As long as I can get rid of these damn varmints.

I know I've seen this OP before

>>33154404
If by 'have a record' you mean you've been dishonorably discharged or have been convicted of a felony, then you're gonna have a hard time getting any gun.
Otherwise you can own whatever you want.
Also this is probably pasta.

Yes it is. I wonder what the end game is.

Guys op is a goose and is asking for advice on weapons.

>>33154149
You have a picture of a Browning T bolt. One of those in 22 WMR would be fine for what you have described.

Get either a
1: AR15 in .223
2: Lever Action gun
3: Ma Deuce

That's where you're wrong kiddo
>>33154404
>$2000
Get a Ruger 10/22 for the varmints. They can be had for around 200 and are perfect for that exact purpose, then get a springfield M1A because why the hell not. Spend any remaining money on ammo.

>>33154404
Record? you may want to clarify that. felony convictions, dishonorable discharges, and a couple of specific misdemeanors make it illegal to possess a firearm.
I'd probably just get a .22lr for you unless those yotes are a real problem or you want the ability to engage them past 25yards or so in which case a .22 WMR would likely be a better choice. If you want a bolt gun id go with a Savage mark 2, semi aut id probably go with the Marlin 795. both are very accurate, affordable, enjoy a good reputation and are GTG out of the box. if you want something nicer id probably go with a cz 455, they're a little classier looking and better finished imo.

Was this all just a plot to see if /k/ would hook someone up with an illegal gun?
