Addition to the battery.

bigpapa · 11-29-2006, 01:57 PM

I currently own a 22lr, 30-30, and a.308. I would like to add another rifle to my battery this year. Any suggestions as to what caliber to go with next?

I would say a 223 or 22-250 if you do any varmit hunting. The 308 pretty well covers the other bases.

I agree with James. The .308 is about all you'd need for big game. Maybe you could pick up an old mil-surp. I would suggest the Swiss K31 7.5x55.

After thinking it over for a bit, I think James B. hit the nail on the head.

Yeah, a good .223 or 22-250 would be great.

i would go with the .223, but if you want a bigger caliber go with the 22-250.

.223 and the 22-250 are the same caliber.... but i think you ment "if you want more velocity"...
