Ladies and Gentlemen
I completed my non-restricted PAL and am set to become a firearms owner again (with the registry gone I feel more comfortable becoming so). I got a house set on the edge of a 2 by 10 mile piece of woods that I own and I have a coyote problem. I even got a coyote looking in the window at night at my cats. I am thinking of getting a firearm but not sure of specific calibre. To shoot varmints all year in NB it has to be less than 23 calibre. My land is all heavily wooded with new growth hardwood and the back quarter has a deep creek with swamp land. There is almost no place for long range shots. I am looking at a NEF single-shot Handi-Rifle in 223, 22 hornet or 22 WMR with aperture sights. I do like the idea of single shot, break action; simple, cheap and ever reliable. What about bullets which is cheaper and more readily available? Any voices of experience out there?
