Yes
Yes, the .223 Savage Axis rifle is considered a good hunting rifle, particularly for small to medium game. Its lightweight design, accuracy, and affordability make it appealing for hunters. Additionally, the .223 Remington cartridge offers low recoil and effective range, making it suitable for various hunting scenarios. However, for larger game, hunters might prefer a more powerful caliber.
It's good for lots of things. Target shooting, plinking, small game hunting, etc. .22 short and .22 long rifle aren't particularly good choices for self defense, but a lot of people carry small .22 handguns for that purpose.
One of the main advantages of air rifle hunting is that it's easy to use, gives you cheap practice and is also good for hunting small game. One of the main disadvantages or air rifle hunting is the fluctuation of pressure in relation to ambient air temperature.
As said- for squirrel or rabbit sized game, a rifle in .22 LR would be a good all around choice. For bird hunting (dove, quail, pheasant) rifles are not legal. Firearm of choice there would be a shotgun- 20 or 12 g.
The more power full rifles are good for hunting small game as far as 40 to 50 yards. I have seen them hit targets out to 100 yards.
Yes a C9a can be used to kill small game. The kill ratio is up to you and how good a shot you are. The best shot is a head shot with hunting pellets for a quick kill.
Good for medium size game
Assuming the rifle is in good condition with no pitting of the bore and the blueing intact, you could expect to receive about $150 to $200 for it, depending upon which sights are fitted. Fitted with common open metal sights and with a good looking furniture (the wooden parts) I would pay about $150. This rifle is not a top of the line by any means, but it is excellent for occasional small game and even deer where your state permits hunting with the .44 Magnum (Rifle load). It is also a great personal defense gun if you are a good shot.
