thanks for all of the info.my budget is the main reason that im looking in to the handi rifle.my home state tn just legalized all center fire rifles for deer hunting and was wondering how the 22-250 would do on deer and what bullet u would use.not that ill use it i have an 30-06,30-30,and a44mag rifle.
Personally I would not deer hunt with anything less than a 243, but I prefer 7mm or larger.
I would use the 30-06 or the 30-30 that youallreadyfor deer and buy the handi rifle for varmits. Also sense you said budget 223 ammowould be cheaper than 22-250 or 204 ruger.
