[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 1670395, member: 109862"] too bad about the limitations to factory ammo...with a more aggressive twist the big 22s are exactly right for this application. You sure you guys don't have a friend who handloads? The 6 and 6.5 will of course do much better in the wind than a standard twist 22-anything, but then if you're using the high bc bullets in these calibers they often don't provide the gratifying "splat - red mist" effect that so many seek. If he's a traditional, nostalgic type I'd say in the interest of paying homage to the varminters of days gone by to get THE original long range varmint rifle and get a .220 Swift, but again, the factory options are little to be desired.
