When I was a pup I saved money for a 30-06. I get to the sporting good store a few days before rifle season and no ‘06 anywhere. I noticed a beautiful 700 BDL 22-250 on the rack. I said hand me that one, dude said that ain’t a deer rifle son. I grabbed a few boxes of ammo and told the salesman that I’d give it a go. Slapped a Leupold 2-7 on it and went to work.
Didn’t take long to figure out that the salesman was soooo wrong about my lil ‘250. That BDL put meat in the skillet for many years.
Probably ain’t a lick of difference in the field between the 223 and 22-250. I’ve taken critters with both.
BUT… I’ll vote for the ‘250 today.
