Maybe it's age or perhaps I am capable of learning. For whatever reason I am gravitating toward smaller rounds in my dotage (61).
Several years back I bought a 700 Classic in .221 Fireball. This rifle is wonderfully accurate, easy to tote around and has plenty of thump when need arises. Not sure if it is the shootability (is that a word?) or what, but nowdays I get a bigger kick out of stuffing my pockets full of rounds and setting off on foot in search of varmints of opportunity than I do sitting at a bench, big boomer in the bags and spotting scope stuck to my eye.
I can see a .17 Hornet, probably a single shot, in my future.
