Just wondered if you have ground hogs in the UK.Ihave never saw any mention of them .Just curious? In my state they are one of the biggest pests for farmers. usually not to hard to get permission to shoot no season on them They sound reasonably hefty @ 10-12lbs. Marmot family though in some pictures they look like fat squirrels! What do you guys use in terms of rifles/rounds to sort those bad boys out?

elkrout2007 Posted January 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2008 To pin I use a remington 788 in 222 or 788 in 308 you can use just about any cal just depends on range and how close to houses you are . 223 243 17 22lr 22mag are also very popular Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
