[QUOTE="Timnterra, post: 1626577, member: 55944"] I like your idea, I have built both 22-250ai and 22creedmoor in 1-8” twist barrels and the performance is identical for all intents and purposes. I get 3200 FPS with the 88gr eldm out of a 21” barrel. I shoot prairie dogs with a suppressor and highly recommend it! However you need to have a couple rifles on hand to swap out after about 20 rounds because they heat up fast. I run a fixed 10x42 swfa and a fixed 10x42 bushnell elite on a couple AR15s. I like the simplicity and reliability of the fixed scopes. The reticle in the SWFA is MOA and is brilliant. I don’t think you can avoid mirage in the summer with any scope higher than 10x. However for the size of a prairie dog at 1000 yards i would want as much magnification as possible. I use Leupold 6.5-20x50 and 8-25x50 scopes on my prairie dog rifles. The mirage is just a reality of prairie dog season. [/QUOTE]
