AIM Surplus is selling surplus Russian M91/30 rifles for about $100. A sub- caliber adapter to take .32 S&W Long revolver cartridges is readily available, very quiet in the long rifle barrel, and more effective than .22 LR on the larger varmints. Accuracy is "OK", not for head shots on rabbits, but sure kills on body shots to 50 yards or so. If limited to one inexpensive, "agricultural" utility rifle, the revolver carrtridge adapter gives the lower noise small game option and conserves your rifle rounds. I have one of these for my. 303 also and am well satisfied. Of course, a low- powered handload, with cast lead bullet and a pinch of pistol or shotgun powder does the same thing, more accurately and cheaply. But if reloading is beyond your means, the cartridge adapters make sense for simplicity and utility.
