[QUOTE="del2les, post: 2909697, member: 9299"] For the last several decades, I loved using M700 actions in 222Rem wearing a 6-24x primarily for shots under 400yds or so, a 223 in 1/9tw then 1/8tw with 55 to 75gr bullets wearing a 6-24x for longer shots, a Savage stainless M 12 with a custom 26" 1/8tw wearing a 6-24x with 75-80gr, A older Ruger VBZ 77 in 223, my old BR 22 action with a Hart match barrel and Hart 2 oz BR trigger in 222Rem wearing a 8-32x, a 22-250 in 1/9tw with a 6-24x, a 22-250 AI with a 26" 1/8tw using 80gr bullets wearing a 10-40x for LR/ELR, and to finish the 22 cals, an AR build with a custom 24" match barrel in 1/8tw in 223 wearing a 6-24x and 1.5# trigger. In the 6mm calibers, a M700 BDL varmint in 6mm, a custom 6mmRemAI built on an older Weatherby action, an older Ruger VBZ in 243 with either a 6-24x or 4-16x, and a couple of others in 243. But my longest P-dog kill beyond 1,000yds is with my old stainless Ruger VBZ in 25-06 using 85grNBT's wearing an 8-32x. When shots are short, I use a couple of old Remington target 22's, a custom Ruger 10/22 heavy match, a custom Ruger 77/22 or maybe a couple of others. When on a long P-dog shoot, its not uncommon to take at least 4 or more of these along with a possible Contender or two. If just for the day, at least two or more will go with me. [/QUOTE]
