I really like the 22-250. It's great for the long shots. I was shooting PD's near Amarillo, the rancher only allowed 22 LR's. I took my 22-250 one day when I knew the rancher would be there. I let him shoot it at a PD. From that day on 22-250's were allowed.
The 22-250 can be used for bigger game successfully too. You won't regret getting a 22-250, my opinion.

I prefer classic.
