    Caliber combination for prairie dog hunting?

    Sorry your Prairie Dog shoot won't be as good as hoped RB. Most cattlemen/farmers want nothing to do with anything that eats their profit.

    For ME, lt depends on my AGE. My true GOLD Standard for a prairie dog scope is the ability to see a 22 caliber hole in a target @ 200yds. 35 yrs ago when l first started shooting prairie dogs a 14 power Leupold was enough. Now @ age 78 it takes a 35x Leupold :-(

    They are builders RB. Might l suggest you study up on them. Truly amazing creatures. A trip to Ft Hood during Desert Storm in 1990 lntroduced me to them. l have returned many times to shoot and admire them.

    Should I go 20 practical?

    l have a Cooper in TAC20. Simply point and shoot out to 300yds. A TRUE 4000fps, just as flat as a 22-250 with HALF the recoil. Retired the 22-250
