Love mine. A short action Ruger 77 with standard weight barrel. Its all I used for 'yotes for years till I got bit by the black rifle bug. Very easy to load, hard to find anything that doesn't shoot well in it with proper bullets. 40-55 grainers are great. Heavier than that don't shoot as well. Get some H-380 and its all you'll ever need. Varget works great too.

It is one of those rounds that is hard to beat. If I were so inclined to shoot centerfire 22, it would be my choice.

Ok maybe : )

Nothing wrong with a 22-250 but how about a 22-243AI, very interesting cartridge, though most reports suggest it works best with heavier bullets, 70gr+. If you wanted to stay in the 50-55 gr bullet range the 22-250 might be your best option.

41 Mags rule, Baers rock!

It is a Browning B-78 and is absolute death on varmints. I have never seen anything die so quickly as a coyote hit with that 45 gr pill. My rifle has gone over 2 dozen straight, one-shot, instant kills on 'yotes so far. They drop instantly and never even flinch, just like someone flipped off a light switch. Hit one trotting along at a neasured 260 yards and it just piled up on it's nose and never moved again. Mine definitely prefers bullets weighing less than 50 grains and I wish it had a faster twist to take advantage of heavier pills, but who can argue with success? I used the 40 round, value pack Winchesters with the 45 gr JHP and get complete pass through about half the time on 'yotes.

That one's just weird enough to be right at home in your collection.
I also see one available in 7.62x39, which I suspect would make a dandy little deer and pig rifle.

just a bit too long after he took it apart and put it back together and he had to grind a bit off the top but all is well now.

I like the .35 Rem but not so excited about it in a bolt gun. Just me...
