Default RE: Which Varmint Gun to buy

If you buy into the short, fat powder column equating to greater accuracy potential then the 22-250 Rem is your round. I have shot several and all were tackdrivers. As far as the 220 Swift being faster, well it is a little faster but on a good day maybe 70-100 fps. Are the varmints going to know the difference? Nope. Are you going to notice the slight difference in trajectory? Nope. Will your 22-250 barrel last longer than the 220? A little.

BTW, as for which rifle, Savage hands down.
