[QUOTE="lewwetzel, post: 1051437, member: 21496"] I think he means compared to the .204; but then, again, he never shot a .204. I own both and one could say the '250 does have just enough recoil to briefly force the loss of sight picture through the scope, at least more often than a heavy-barreled .204. But no, it wouldn't be accurate to say there's any noticeable recoil from a .22-250. Noise/muzzle blast is another story, as I'd much rather shoot colony varmints all day with a .204, although a bystander might not notice much difference in report between the two. If someone really is bothered by the recoil of a .22-250, might as well jump to a .243 for more coyote-killing energy down range. I can still get back on a groundhog or coyote for follow-up work if needed with my .243, and hardly ever shoot the .22-250 anymore. [/QUOTE]
