I’m considering the .30 version. What’s your thoughts so far? Likes/dislikes? How loud is it comparable to say a 22lr?

It's a beast. I shoot squirrels and rabbits at about 30-60 yds . They never see it coming.Never have a chance. It is a little bit louder than my m3. Not as loud as a 22lr.

There's a lot of power to be had in the Rattler 30, 357, and 45. The big bore's have barrel twist rates made for slugs, not necessarily pellets. The mid to heavy slugs fly most accurate, especially longer slugs in these calibers, and produce great speed to weight ratios for nice flat trajectories.

Im trying to decide on a solid gun for coyotes and coons. Can’t imagine what it would do to a squirrel. Needs some pics!
Max range 100 yds. And will be defending my chicken coop at about 40 yds. This is one of my top picks right now. Been trying to read up on these guns. I will be following this thread. Hope to hear more of your experience with this!

With the Rattler 30 caliber you can tune it "down" to shoot lighter ammo for squirrel hunting and then tune it "up" with heavier ammo for racoon and coyote sized game. The .30 is a pretty versatile caliber; as is would be the .357, just not for squirrel meat.

Seems like an awesome gun. Im unaware of any guns that compete with this?? Only negatives I've read is they are prone to slow leaks, and no one can find a blown up parts schematic.
Seems like all who have one love it.
