If you could go alligator hunting with one of your c&r rifles, which would you choose

[Dave91]

Babe Ruth went with a 1903.

 

[outrider58]

One with a big enough stock to use as a spare paddle.

Hunting them with a rifle is not good as they sink when they die. The best way is using chicken halves on a hook and line and then shooting it with a .22 when you have it close to the boat.

If you don't kill it instantly, it will head for the water and sink.

The answer seems to be a beater 22LR that you don't mind getting wet.

 

[joppaj]

Mosin-Nagant with bayonet affixed. If I'm too close I have a spear and I may set him on fire.

They seem to die instantly when 'lizbeth choots 'em in da head..

Swamp people show, they drag the bottom with a big 4 prong hook.
I think same way they look for dead bodies in a shallow river.

C&R Gator Rifles. SOOO Many choices.

My cousin was a Gator hunter for 2 years. Small caliber he said cause you don't want to ruin the goods. Head not in tact lost $

If a 22 is all that's needed, I have a 1913 production Winchester Model 1890.
