Why nothing less than the number one choice for eastern Montana ranch/truck guns, the mighty 22-250!


Sammer, back in the mid 1950's when my father was flying for Lynch's out of Billings, he visited quite a few ranches, dropping mail and groceries in the winter, or picking up a rancher for a trip to who-knows-where.

Anyway, he said there was generally a LARGE mule deer on the wall of the house, and when he'd ask what it was shot with, the answer was invariably "220 Swift."

Things don't change much in Eastern Montana... except that trucks are now 4wheel drive, and the 22-250 has replaced the Swift!

Well, and more people have phones too laugh
