    What to do with older 22-250

    I just wish I could buy some shells for my 22-250! lol! 9mm and .223 are fine just no range for 'yotes or longer shots on the open plains where I hunt.

    What rifles you guys running for varmint hunting?

    22-250, but I guess it may be short lived if the ammo ppl won't sell me shells! I am to dang old to set up for reloading 22-250, so may have to figure something for my 300 win. mag. ???

    Help Deciding on "Budget" Rifle & Scope for Once in a lifetime Elk tag (narrowed down list)

    Many hunters have trouble with magnums. That said I use one and what helps me is to have a "Hair" trigger and concentrate on the crosshairs and lightly squeeze BAAAMM! No flinch as I was surprised by the blast.

    Help Deciding on "Budget" Rifle & Scope for Once in a lifetime Elk tag (narrowed down list)

    My choice would be a 300 Win. Mag. ,best optics I could afford, a light rather than on the heavy end rifle as with Elk one has to travel on foot in the Badlands -most likely! 180 grain or better cartridge.

    What is better than the Weatherby?

    A Weatherby is a thing of great beauty ! That said I heard a PH state he thought the barrels where a little "light". Perhaps that is why the military does not use? After a few rounds drifting shots? Too hot? What do you guys think?
