LOL K22, I do have a heavy 22-250, but, I don't think those little 52gr AMAXES would have reached the North end of a 220lb wild boar headed North at 588 yards, the 210gr LRAB came out in the crease of the neck where it joins the shoulder, DRT, when I got back in the scope he was peddling those back legs hard in place.
Yeah...but was it "Fur Friendly"? LOL, yes, it was equally friendly too, it put a little bit of hair over here, a little bit of hair over there..............................................................................; ]

Those who call magazines "clips" and cartridges "bullets" ought not to be taken seriously. Jeff Cooper. We might add those who call bullets "boolits.

Mine's a bit different and is a little shorter shooting. 200 yards is about what it will handle. Valmet 300 series in 12ga/222Rem with a pretty sharp and clear Japanese Tasco 3-9. Called in close, a load of #4 buck whacks them. Farther out the 222 will do it if I do it right. Hey...don't laugh. It was less than $500.00 all set up.

After seeing more coyotes around my house this last year than in past years, I bought a Ruger Am Ranch in 5.56 and put on a Bushnell Elite 3000 4-12 and bought a Foxpro Inferno call. I've been out several times since the end our deer season and haven't seen anything. I'm not doing it for sport as much as to just knock some of their numbers down.

Hell of a deal L2S, buck or fowl right there, cool piece. Yep. Nice. Mine is a heavy barreled Remington Camo R-15 AR in .556 with a Leupold 4x12 VXR with the lighted reticle and BDC. Works well on feral hogs at the Ranch too.

That'll definitely work Ready! Damn right CHLI, a 7.62 REPR chunking 130gr TSX, 150gr NPT's and 155gr Scenars is a hell of a [several] duty utility farm rifle, hell, those 176gr Lehigh AP-WU's alone would disable any vehicle/machinery in a pinch if a whole load of crackheads decided to show up.

When I am calling in wolf/G bear country I lug my Tikka 308 / 168 gr. TTSX and SWFA 3-9 HD scope. Most of the time it is a RAR or an AR in .223 w/ 55gr. VX. mike r

Today I ordered a Tikka T3x Lite Stainless in 22-250 with 1:8 twist.
We'll see how that works out.

Normally, I grab the Sako L461 in 222 RemMag, with a Kahles 3.5x10x50 on it, and, this year, using 50gr B-tips at full throttle.

We'll see how that works out. You'll be happy... I'm thinkin' I will! Hell, I must be living in a cave or something. I just stumbled across an old thread about them and thought how did I miss this? I checked Whittaker's website and they didn't have them. So I ambled over to Eurooptic's site and there they were! I called to confirm they had them, and just ordered it right then and there. 8 twist 22-250's are not a common commodity. I figured I better order right now or I might miss out and regret it forever. I also have Bass Pro gift cards for a significant amount. I"m kicking around the idea of a Stoeger M3000 for close-in coyotes in wooded areas.
