I keep going round and round over whether to do it with 22LR, 9mm, or 300 Blackout.
Kind of a ranch rifle kind of thing...dispatching raccoons, foxes, coyotes, etc.
9mm seems a reasonable choice, but most of them aren't terribly accurate at 100 yards.... and don't much like the idea of polymer receivers (more specifically, attaching the barrel to them, on rifles).
22LR.... weak at 100 yards.
300 Blackout... it'd be a new round for me, I have plenty of 9mm and 22 ammo...300 BLK can be accurate at 100 yards, powerful enough even with subsonic ammo.
Then it comes down to platform...I like the idea of an AR, I have a couple in 5.56... but I also like the idea of bolt gun (costs less e.g. Ruger American).
Also... the Ruger 9mm PC carbine, its interesting, but a little heavy for what it is... and again, not really accurate at 100 yards from the videos I've watched.
So, here I am... just thinking out loud, looking for help deciding.
