    Thats a 300-500m shot. You could hit him with an off the shelf scoped .22. I’d personally go for a .270 but wonder if he’s worth the extra cost… imagine the headline, killed by one of the smallest calibers in common use.

    And why the fuck would you stick the barrel through the fence??

      There isn’t a chance that a .22LR would even leave a bruise at 300m, if you managed to deal with the 15 or 20’ of drop at that range. You might as well throw a shoe at him.

      Cmon, let’s get these people using the right equipment for the job. Telling people that .22 is going to do the job is just making sure the job doesn’t get done.

      The best kill is overkill.
