Yes, you�re missing a fine cartridge!
I picked up a used 22� Ruger M77 in .257 Roberts a few years back (3?) and mounted a used Leupold Vari-X III 4.5-14 on top. It has become my favorite bolt gun.
75g V-MAX @ 3600fps = coyote @ 480 yards, many at shorter distances, and many prairie dogs
115g TSX @ 3013fps
120g A-Frame @ 2947fps
It�s all good, don't delay!

No, I'm not a Ruger bigot - just an unabashed fan of their revolvers, M77's and #1's.
A good .30-06 is a 99% solution.
