[QUOTE="eddie368, post: 1025715, member: 86542"] I have been varmint hunting since about 1960 and have owned 3-swifts, several 22 250's including a 22 250 Ackley{same ballistics as a swift]even a .257 wby in a Ruger No.1 87 gr bullet at 3900 fps.All were excellent varmint guns. But if you are in a praire dog town they get very hot very fast and most shots you will not see the hit because of recoil.I have learned that bigger is not always better.The last 6-7 years I have been using a couple of .204's in a savage and custom barreled No.1 with 39 gr. bullets, then I have the praire dog destroyer,ar-15 in tactical .20 custom made with a schilen 24" barrel. I can shoot the first 2 -30 rd mags as fast as I can target them then about 10 rounds per minute until they get scarce, and those 20s will match the big .22s for distance and bucking the wind. But in the end it gets down to what you want! It's all good. [/QUOTE]
