Not enough information, Jay. What are these predators you need to shoot? 22 rimfire will kill a raccoon, but isn't likely to take out a coyote with a single shot. Do you have neighbors close by? You don't don't want to alarm them; a 12 gauge shotgun is LOUD. At what range will you be shooting? Shotguns are deadly out to 25 yards or more (depending on the load), but a centerfire rifle is effective beyond 100 yards.
Personally, I would skip the 22 rimfire if noise is not an issue. A centerfire rifle is much more effective against larger predators. A bolt-action rifle in .223 will do nicely. I have two guns I use for varmints: I have a T-C Contender rifle with a custom .17 Remington Fireball barrel that is deadly against woodchucks and raccoons. For bigger varmints I have Winchester Model 70 in .22-250, although I seldom use it because of the noise. Factory ammo for these guns would be expensive, but I load my own ammo.
