For small game or varmints, many hunters go with the basic .22 or .223 Remington. You should choose a cartridge with enough power to take out your game within a single shot.

Hunting rifles are able to shoot single or multiple shots depending on their actions. The best type of action is mostly dependent on personal preference. Some hunters like single-shot rifles, which increase the pressure needed to get an accurate shot on the first attempt. Some prefer repeating rifles which reduce pressure, and are an ideal choice for newer hunters.

Repeating choices include pump-action, lever-action, bolt action, and automatic rifles. Spend some time playing with various rifles to determine the most suitable one for your needs.
