I don't own a 223 or 22-250, the ones that we used PD hunting were my father-in-law's. He just wanted me to try both of them out, and I really couldn't tell much difference between the two. The dogs that we shot at were around 400 yds out. He mainly used the 22-250, and I shot both of them...

Maybe I'm just going to have to get honest and real with myself. I'm not going to be lugging some heavy barreled rifle in the mountains of Arkansaw looking for a deer. If I'm going to get a new gun it will be for PD shooting and shooting at the range. What caliber would you get? I don't reload...

The .243 might be what I need to get. Now the next question is which gun? I've been looking at Savage and CZ, they are both very good right out of the box. I like the new accu-trigger on the Savage, however I have not shot the CZ, but hear wonderful things about it, I know I need to shoot one...

What I really want is a caliber to shoot accurately 300 to 400 yds, use it for prairie dogs in the summer and deer in the fall. That may be too much to ask but I can't really afford to buy two guns right now. What about a .308? I'm just afraid there would be too much recoil for PD shooting.

This past summer I went hunting prairie dogs in SD. We used 223's and 22-250's. I was wandering if anyone had shot a Savage varmint rifle in a .204? It will be used mainly for varmint and some benchrest shooting. Thanks for any help. [ 10-08-2004: Message edited by: JRMoney ]
