Pretty much my experience as well.When I was doing more calling the fave set-up was a Sporter weight .22-250 with a fixed 6X on it. A " Set it and forget it" kind of rig...with a 200 yard zero if they showed up anyplace inside ludicrous distance you just point and shoot.


This combo or a 223 with a 40 gr Nosler BT - works and doesn't require a lot of thinking. Thank Goodness !!

Of course you could just set a 3-9 on 6X and tape it there to control the irresistable urge to continually twist the power.

223 Rem, my favorite cartridge - you can't argue with truckloads of dead PD's and gophers.
