I use those CB shorts to pop squirrels that try to get into my attic. Out of my Marlin 39A they are very quiet. It is best to shoot them twice I have learned.

Re: Thoughts on Home Protection for non-gun people...
I second the 10-22 with the 25 round mag. It doesn't kick, doesn't need to be super maintained, and once upon a time you could practice with it cheap.

Re: 308 vs 243
Those are both great rounds and I have killed deer with both. Now I use the 243 if I am not using the 30-30. The 243 is plenty powerful for deer. I have killed deer with it out to 250 yards and that is a long shot for me. No gun will do right if the hit is sloppy, but assuming a good hit you will no...

I would start at 25 yards before going back to 100. Like some of the other guys I have found levers don't like sandbags. I always put my hand on the forearm between it and the bag like I was holding it normally.

The 308 is a very powerful cartridge. It is more than you need for most critters. There is nothing wrong with using it. It has power to spare.
