I have 2 Rugar 10/22s!
I would consider it my 2nd choice, just behind my contender!
The 10/22s have a clip, so if you do miss the first shot, you have a few more to follow up with!(If you remember to keep your clips full)
I have used mine on coon, skunks, possum, roosters and guineas!(with paractice they can be decapitated with out having to catch them)
I even used mine on a coyote, I kept shooting until he quit moving!
Another good one is the Contender or the Encore!
They are only single shot, but you can pretty much get a barrel in any length and any caliber you want to try!

Whatever you decide to buy, look at the price of ammo. It is getting way out of site in price in our area and it is getting hard to purchase some shells due to lack of availablity.
) It has pachmayr "sticky" grips and tritium "everglowing" sights and the nifty beavertail grip safety and we spent 700 on it. The second is exactly the same, except it has wood grips and it was 400, both were new. We got an excellent deal on the second one. The 12ga is a Mossberg and was only 150, cause the guy who owned it was getting foreclosed & he was selling everything! The SAR was 125 and needed some firing pin & ejection port work.
