Look for These 4 “Farm Guns” for Pest Control

By

For farmers, ranchers, and members of a number of other occupations, pest control on their property is not just a matter of convenience. Their livelihood often depends on it. For decades, shotguns were considered the go-to “farm gun,” the all-purpose pest control and small game solution. Shotguns certainly still have their place as farm guns, but firearm innovation has provided a number of other options as well. So unless you are a tactical farmer, your pest control needs fulfilled by a tricked-out Benelli M4, consider the following farm gun options.

Benelli M4

Ruger American in 17 HMR

The 17 HMR cartridge is made to order for longer-distance pest control. Created by the perpetual ammunition innovators at Hornady, 17 HMR was designed to be exceedingly far, fast, and flat. Hornady succeed, as 17 HMR features blazing velocity and flat trajectory. When it comes to a reasonable, reliable, and accurate vehicle for the cartridge, you cannot beat the Ruger American.

Beretta A300

The Beretta A300 harkens back to the quintessential farm gun platform—the shotgun. This is no beat-up double-barrel on nails above the door, however. The Beretta A300 offers a slimmer, more lightweight package than a great many shotguns on the market today. Its recoil pad takes the bite out of hotter or heavier shell loads, and its innovative assembly makes cleaning a breeze. Plus, nothing says “trustworthy scattergun” like the name Beretta.

Ruger Silent-SR ISB 10/22

For those with the patience for an NFA stamp and a penchant for the tacticool, there is no pest control farm gun substitute for the Ruger Silent-SR ISB 10/22. If there is any farm gun gauge or caliber as iconic as the 12 gauge shotgun, it is the 22 LR. It is also hard to get more iconic in the world of rimfire rifles than the Ruger 10/22. This updated iteration of the plinking classic features an integrally suppressed barrel assembly for pest control that will not bother the neighbors.

Kel-Tec CP33

It is not that often that a handgun is included in the running for an effective farm gun. The Kel-Tec CP33, however, has a whole lot going for it. First, there is its accuracy. Kel-Tec designed the CP33 for competition-level accuracy in 22 LR. Then there is the fact that one of their quad-stacked magazines holds no less than 33 cartridges. For those of the more Ruger Silent-SR ISB 10/22 persuasion, the Kel-Tec CP33 also features a threaded barrel out of the factory for suppressor hosting. In addition to being a high-capacity tack-driver, the CP33 is also just a whole lot of fun.

They will all help with convenience, allowing you to carry more or keep your firearms close at hand.

It’s the rare fan of firearms who doesn’t appreciate having at least one conversation piece in their collection. That can be a family heirloom, a homemade build, or a favorite shooter. However, a home-run option for a gun people will talk about is gifting your favorite gun enthusiast a high-quality but distinctive firearm. That could be an antique or vintage model, like a Dreyse M1907, or something new and unique, like the Kel Tec KSG . Give them something to talk about with one of the following distinctive gun gifts. 50 Beowulf Dreyse M1907 The Dreyse is a unique and certainly distinctive looking early automatic. Superficially, it looks quite a bit like the first ever mass-produced automatic, the FN 1900, and shares its chambering—32 ACP. However, the Dreyse features several distinct internal differences. Because this antique firearm tends to be overshadowed by the famous FN 1900, you can often find them relatively inexpensively. Despite their usually modest price, they have a reput

Whether you are going hunting with your Beretta A300 Outlander or taking a highly specialized AR 15 to an out-of-state competition, flying with a firearm might seem complex if you have never done it before. However, there are ways you can streamline the process to make it as simple as possible. This means you will not have to arrive at the airport too much earlier than you would for a typical flight. Here are five tips you should know about packing and declaring your firearm for your next flight. Use the Right Kind of Lock First, you will need the right kind of lock. Do not use any standard, TSA-approved lock to keep your firearms safe. Instead, use a heavy-duty lock on your case. Always keep a key on your person, but do not bring extra copies in your checked luggage. Otherwise, if you use a TSA-approved lock or have copies of the key, it is entirely possible that your gun case could be empty when you grab it off the carousel at your destination. What to Do with Ammo Most often, a
