VARMITS VS Cailbers
I am looking at heavy varmit rifles either .223 or 22-250. Need some other outside thoughts on pros and cons.
Primary use is target, woodchucks, crows, coyotes.
My .308 heavy varmit is a little hard on the coyotes especially if it is exceptional and is to be mounted.
TIA Harvey

VARMITS VS Cailbers
Yooper I'm just having a tuff time with this.
I like the Remington 700 varmit/match, very much and lean this way for the .22 varmit in 22-250. Me also likes the Leupold VII 6X18 fine duplex with target knobs.
I also like the Bushmaster with the heavy barrel and as you the scope would be less power for the .223. However a 700 varmit/match would be very nice to have in this cal.
I'm gonna mull on this a while or (which may not be a bad thing) get both. My biggest hold up at this point is the time needed to devote to good skills with either. I do not shoot any of my rifles anywhere enough now.
When I was shooting Hi-Power Silouette, for about 9 years, I was shooting over 40 rounds per week not counting matches just to stay in practice. I just have not have the time, in the past 8 years or so, for quality time with the rifles.

VARMITS VS Cailbers
As long as I have food in me and not just cafeine I am ok and pretty solid.
Very rarely will I attempt a kill type shot from a offhand position. I always use the most solid rest or position I can get in. BUT there are some of the snap shots that are quick and require the best I can do standing and out of balance. My rifles I carry in the field usually have bi-pods.
I think I have made up my mind. The Remington 700 vls in 22-250 with a leupold vxIII 6.5X20 50mm target with turret adjustments. I'm leaning that way very much.

The decision is made. Rem 700 VLS in the 204 ruger. Scope is still kinda up in the air but it will be a leupold. I'll let you know the final set up. I still have a couple of weeks to finialize the thoughts.
Running vermin will probably need something else someday like a heavy barrel Bushmaster in the 223.
Headed down to Cabelas in PA this weekend to touch, feel, drool...

Go to Google Froogle and search for the Optronics light. You will fall down with the hits.

VARMITS VS Cailbers
W E L L I'm back. I found a awesome 8.5X25X50mm LR/T Leuplod at Cabelas in the bargin cave bought that plus about 200lbs of other cool stuff.
Went back to the original thoughts and bought the 22-250 Remington VLS on the way home locally. Got a box of shells thru it and need to do some serious trigger work. It will break clean but you have to move the trigger about 3/4 of an inch before it breaks... well it seems like 3/4 inch probably only 3/32.
Next on the list is a call, the bait pile is started some guys that trap to take care of that.
