[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1415473, member: 12443"] It would be a waste of money to do (anything), till he actually goes and sees it for himself. He already has a good gun with enough scope to shoot the longest shots he will probably take. But maybe not if it has the wrong twist and cant handle the heavier bullets, like some of the old Rems did. If that's the case, then figure that you've actually got a 22x250 AI. Borrow a 223 or 22x250 if need be, because that's where most of the shooting will be if you would like to hit many of them. 1000 yd shots on prairie dogs really requires a team effort, and frankly the majority of them are missed. Yes it can be fun if you have the right equiptment, and experience, but don't count on killing very many at those type distances. Practice on some 16 ounce soda cans at the long distances, preferably with the wind blowing to get the picture. [/QUOTE]
