[QUOTE="tuck2, post: 844797, member: 23575"] I live in prairie dog country and have ben shooting them since 1949 when I used a 22 RF rifle. In the spring when the pups first come out there a lot of shots available within 150 yards for the rimfire rifles. Since getting two Cooper 57M LVT , a 17 HM2 and 17 HMR I leave the 22LR and 22 WMR rifles at home. I v also used 17 Fireball , 17 Rem 204 Ruger , 22 Hornet, 221 Fireball, 222 Rem, 223 Rem, 22-250 Rem, 220 Swift, 243 Win, and some big game rifles. I like Leupold 6-18 X ao scopes with cross bars below the cross hair on prairie dog rifles. I have Leupold 6.5-20 X ao scope on the 220 Swift and 243 but the field of view is somewhat limited at 20 X. Prairie dogs get muzzle blast smart so I use the low muzzle blast and recoil rifles as long as I can each year. I enjoy try different cartridges and have a Varmint CZ 17 Hornet on order and will get a 17 WSM should one be made that I like. If I could only have two rifles for p dog shooting they would be the 17 HMR and 204 Ruger. [/QUOTE]
