Hey all, I lurk here way more than I post but I do have a few questions. I am looking to buy a 22/.410 over under because squirrel/bunny hunting is probably my favorite outdoor activity in the fall and I think that combination is cool/versatile. This would be a reward to myself for getting through my first year of pharmacy school and I will be spending some of the tax refund on it
Anyway #1. Since I already have a 22lr (marlin model 60) I was thinking of going 22 WMR, but would this be too much gun for squirrel/bunny? I am not opposed to going with a 22lr/.410 but I don't have the 22mag so there is some new/coolness factor to that combination for me.
2. I am doing some shopping around and I have two models picked out. I do have some criteria, I would like either double trigger or selector switch not a selector on the hammer like the savage 24. I would like to purchase new, this would be my first new gun and to me this is semi important. My only other criteria is that I hate the look/feel of synthetics and would definitely prefer wood.
I am looking at Baikal mp94

and Chiappa Double Badger if I decide to go 22lr

Any opinions about either gun? Or other models I haven't seen yet?
I am not looking at a savage 24 due to the selector on the hammer and they can be almost the same price used as either of those two guns new
Thanks for any/all advice!
