Thread: Advice on semi auto rimfire for goats

Hey guys just asking on behalf of a farmer friend who is at his wits end with goat problems since the ban.

He had to hand in all his semi auto centrefires for obvious reasons and as a result is struggling a bit to deal with the groups of goats he comes across which are causing real problems on the farm.

He just wants a semi auto rifle he can take on his quad when he is by himself that's capable of killing goats in an ethical manner at 100m that is rimfire. Will one of those fancy 17hmr or 22mag semi autos do this in an ethical manner?

Or even maybe that 17wsm - though I heard there are not many rimfire examples and the ammo is scarce/pricey?

He is going to look at getting that famers exemption but he needs something now.
