Greetings Asankaa,

Khomas Highland Hunting Safaris of Namibia, welcomes you to the greatest forum on earth.

What variety / species of small game are you interested in ?
Most can be taken humanely with small bore shotgun and / or .22 rim fire .

Otherwise as Mr. spike.t suggested, that .505 Gibbs you posted pictures of for sale and described in great detail, will be just right for at least gopher and squirrel hunting.

Best Regards,
Velo Dog.

Welcome aboard!

Define "small game" for the caliber recommendations you are looking for. In general, at least in the US, for small game you are talking about .22-250, .243, .25-06, maybe .270

Welcome to AH. Small game where!? We talking rabbit or African plains game?
 
.22 rimfire is a great starter. Please expound on your name and where you are from and what you do instead of hunting currently
 
Welcome! Nothing like AH for information and getting people on their way to Africa.
