Thanks - I have 2 .223s. A heavy, short barreled Savage model 4x4 for shooting off bags and a CZ 527 American for walking around and targets of opportunity. The Savage has shot a boatload of prairie dogs between my son and me. The CZ gets used less but is a good gun for called coyotes and has shot a lot of ground squirrels walking around on ranch land/barley fields. It also accounted for my son's javelin. I let the Savage cool off by shooting my Kimber Longmaster .22-250. I like seeing the hits, though, and the .22-250 mainly lets me see them airborne after the shot.
I also have a mini-14 and an AR in .223/5.56. The AR is set up for varmints with a heavy 20-inch barrel.
The Cooper is a Varminter.
