[QUOTE="codyadams, post: 1625388, member: 87243"] I grew up southwest in Wyoming. I have been killing prairie dogs for well over 20 years here. I have, on many many occasions, killed prairie dogs at ranges over 800 yards with my .260 AI, and even the occasional lucky shot with 40 grain v-max's in a standard 22-250. Heavy bullets outperform the light bullets in a 22-250 for p dogs every time, especially at extended ranges in country where they live, as winds in big open and rolling hills and sage brush flats tend to be rather aggressive. I spot hits on 20x, even at 150 yards from my braked 14 lb .260 ai, every time. A cylinder contour barrel can be set back many, many times, which is a good consideration on a high volume p-dog gun. The scope you recommended isn't a bad option, however it is out of my current price range, as I have three young children and a wife going through nursing school. I also see your from California, so that doesn't exactly back you up on having knowledge on how to hunt p-dogs. So essentially everything you said minus the scope recommendation is completely incorrect. Nice try though. Go be a keyboard warrior somewhere else, because your attempt here is rather pathetic.
