Heres what i'm wanting to do. While squirrel hunting i'd like to have a rifle to both shoot tree rats and if a yote happens by or i call one in.
My yote rifle is a AR15 223 so 100% yote hunting i good to go. I have a Encore frame and im wanting a barrel for the above squirrel/yote rifle. I also have a 17 HMR that shoots very good and i shot this yote a week or so ago at 70 yds. I shot it between the eyes. It set down and rolled back over dead.
So whats your recommendations stick with the 17 HMR or buy a Barrel for the Encore. I have been leaning toward the 17 or 22 Fire ball also looked at a hornet.
Thanks for any advice.
