jcwa Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Re: going on a predator in texas / need new gun !!! The 2 most popular caliber out there for varmint hunting is the .223 and the .22-250, you can't go wrong with either caliber. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Re: going on a predator in texas / need new gun !!! i would go with a .22-250, we have one in a Remington 700, with a heavy barrel, with a 6-18x redfield scope on it, let me tell ya! it drives tacks! extremely accurate gun, popular gun, so you can find ammo anywhere, and the ammo isnt that expensive either. definetly go with the .22-250 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Re: going on a predator in texas / need new gun !!! The Randy Anderson video I have, seemed the most popular was a .22-250. I have been taking my wifes .243 when I go out, hope to take out a few this weekend with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ronin Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Re: going on a predator in texas / need new gun !!! You mentioned hogs. If they are big feral pigs I would use a bigger gun than the standard varmit rifle. The other option is to carry a nice varmit caliber as recommended and take a big pistol with you as a side arm. My own method is to take two rifles or a rifle and a shotgun with slugs and 000 buck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
