I typically only shoot my plinky marlin model 60 at squirrels and cans when I'm at home, m4 or m9 during weekend drills or if one of my buddies wants to visit the range. I don't necessarily want something "bigger," but I'm in the market for something versatile if I wanted to hunt innawoods around western Maryland/southern Pennsylvania/north west v.
I was initially thinking (after cursory Google searches) about the 300$ chiappa double badger, it seems like everything I want: lightweight, folding, rimfire cartridge to nab critters and .410 shell for birds or quick bunnies. I think it might also come in 22wmr/410.
Would I be better off with a shotgun is what I'm asking? I've been recommended by a friend to just get an 870 for woodcraft. It seems easier, but I can't get over the novelty of the double badger, it's just so simple and seems to fit my needs, but like I said I have very little experience with actual hunting.
