[QUOTE="RDM416, post: 466291, member: 3745"] bboock, The savage model 12 should work just fine for you. Wind will be a problem with longer shots, but it is a good compromise for p-dogs and yotes. Another thought, is that the same rifle in the 243 will kill p-dogs too and will not cost much more to handload for, and you could save the expense of 2 rifles, but then again more rifles is always better!!:D I would not bother with a muzzle brake on either a 22-250 or 243 as recoil on both is mild. I would bed the action, adjust the trigger to 1.5 to 2lbs, install a 1 piece picatinny style rail, and the best scope you can afford. Then you need a rangefinder, bipod, shooting sticks, etc. Get set up to handload...... that opens a whole new can of worms.....more fun:) [/QUOTE]
