I'm looking to get a varmint gun and would love a single shot for coyotes, squirrels, ground hogs, ect.
First question:
223 vs 22-250? I want to keep caliber simple and accessible and stay away from wildcats so it's between these two. I know 223 is cheaper and more accessible, but is it "worth" it for the added reach of the 22-250 (what my hunting buddies shoot)?
Second question:
Winchester 1885, Browning B78 (or 1885) or Ruger #1?
If RUGER, would you get a laminate stock over wood for more stability and weight?
If WIN or BROWNING, can a BIPOD be put on these? If so, anyone have any pictures? Never seen one of these type of single shots with a bipod.
Third questions:
What's your favorite scope for varminting?
Thanks in advance.
