I am looking for an additional prairie dog gun for shooting out to 400 yards.
I have reloading equip for 222, 223 and 22-250. I currently was thinking of a Tikka varmint yet was considering saving funds for a Cooper. I also like nice Ruger 1s...
Any thoughts (pros or cons) between guns is appreciated.

MT, was in the same situation a few years back, bit the bullet and picked up a Cooper in 20 Vartarg, it has been amazing. Be warned, once you get a cooper, they tend to multiply. Picked up a 22lr JSR and a 17hmr so the 20VT wouldn't feel lonely.

The 17HMR and 22lr are very accurate, but the 20VT is in a whole different league, scary accurate.

Picked up a nice old Sako L579 in 243 that is also very nice, but not in the same accuracy league as the coopers.

Now looking for a nice cooper in 7mm-08 or possibly 243, if anyone out there has one they want to let go, let me know.
