[QUOTE="ol mike, post: 147173, member: 4683"] I'm kind of in the same boat w/a couple of guns. My advice -25-06 and 270 are too similar to be -between-. Their bullet weights overlap. A 22-250 is hard to beat as is a 243 ,but for practice and longrange varmints -22-250 imo. On reccommending a rifle --remington w/a quality stock no plastic. I have a rem xr-100 22-250 the fit and finish are as good as it gets!It shoots 52 gr a-max bullets into 1" groups at 200 yds.That's not setting the world on fire by the standards of many on this board but good enough to take pd's at 400yds. I'd stick w/a laminated stock rem. 700 as a minimum. Also have a hs precision sporterweight 22-250 w/a douglas barrel that shoots .250" groups on my good days -best group .136".The 55gr sierra blitzkings really smack coyotes . A 22-250 can be shot all day -the recoil is very light.I know a .204 performs on par w/a 22-250 but definately won't have the knock-down power of the 55-60gr bullets. Never had a 243 but it's another top performer ,--i'm talking in circles [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]!! [/QUOTE]
