Good morning,
Im thinking of picking up a new rifle for shooting groundhogs locally and may be going on a prairie dog hunt later this year. I’ve been doing lots of reading which is what led me to this site. You guys seem very knowledgeable so I thought I’d ask for a little guidance.
I think I’ve decided that I want a 22-250 and am trying to stay around $1,000 on the high end. I’ve mostly been focusing on the Browning X-Bolt Eclipse Varmint, Remington VSS, Savage 12 Low Profile and Tikka T3X Varmint. I’m hoping someone has some insight as to my best bet with these rifles or if someone knows of something I haven’t seen yet, I certainly open to other options. My guess is they are all pretty accurate but if anyone can tell me which factory trigger is the best that would be much appreciated. I’ve also noticed almost all have a 1/14 twist but I’ve also read that those don’t shoot lighter bullets as well as say a 1/10 obviously. I just haven’t seen many options other than 1/14... am I missing something? Thanks guys.
