[QUOTE="Slick8, post: 1925380, member: 52585"] The 17 will work but isn't much in the wind or anchoring and animal. I've carried one for years and have killed a few yotes and hogs so I know it will do the job. But it lacks a little punch. I've wanted a 20 running a 32 grainer for a while but just haven't pulled the trigger on one as it splits the gap between the 17s and 223. I think a 700 or savage action running a fast 20 from an 18 or 20 inch barrel would be a great vermin rig. Scopped with a 2-12 or 3-16 vx6 and suppressed. Dang it, this could be a costly thread.
