Maybe where you live.

* Side note, I've never held, much less shot one of these I've just read and watched video's on them and think the inserts would be handy in the scenario.

Other than that it would be a 10/22

Savage 42 might be a good choice.

I don't think my dove supply will run dry. From the amount of wounded dove I find from being shot from experienced hunters, I may not even have to go hunting. As for the thousand of miles of dessert out here, I may be tripping over dead bodies from city folk that don't know the desert. Oh, as far a seagulls and parasites.... Just cook them hot enough and long enough, or boil the meat for 15 minutes.

I think it depends on the game in your area. Where I am presently, it would be a 12 ga used on dove, quail and rabbit. The occasional deer if I choose to expend the added energy. I have been in parts of San Antonio and Pipe Creek where deer were available off the back porch. A .22 would have been sufficient. I also have been in the high country in NM where I would most likely take my .308.
