Looking for a new predator rifle!

[Musket Man]

I have a model 70ss winchester 22-250 shooting hornady 50gr vmax. I love it for yotes! IMO the 22-250 is hands down the best varmit caliber ever made! I also have a pre 64 model 70 243 that I like alot and have killed everything from bobcats to deer with. I would go with the 243 if you want to hunt deer with it too. I think the 22-250 is pretty light for deer and also 243 is the minimum caliber thats legal in some states.

I forgot to mention, I absolutely love the .204 Ruger for predators/varmints. It would not work for blacktail however.

It has ballistics very similar to a 22-250 in the same size bullet. If you guys haven't looked into it you should really check it out. Most fun centerfire I've ever shot.

I agree the 204 looks like a fun little round! Although I have never shot one. Great for prairie dogs I bet! Im sure it would work fine on yotes too, but I have seen many times what my 22-250 and a vmax will do to a yote and I like it

I'd like to have a .204 in an ar15 for yoters. How fun would that be!!!!

Thanks for all the help so far you guys. My dad has a savage mdl 10 .204 and he loves it. I haven't seen him shoot anthing that hasn't dropped like a stone. Besides like I told him I don't need a .204 I already have one. Lol Anyways I'm not in any hurry so keep posting your thoughts.

I use an ar-15 in 223 for coyotes. It is a great gun. I would also recomend the 22-250. I have killed a number of deer and coyotes with it.

just get a 22-250 and a 243. You can never have to many guns

Yeah buy both and then you will be happy either way.
