    Rifle for beginner

    You could try a 17 mach2, it is a smaller bullet than a 22 but the velocities are much higher and it could kill up to coyote size game. With practice and alot of range time it can shoot out to 300 yards accuratly and you can purchase a fairly good gun in this caliber for less than $300.

    I tried to get them off in the water because I couldnt swim with them on but the suction wasnt alowing me to get them off so I drifted to the Island. When I got on land I wrastled them off and dumped out about 5 gallons of water :D .
