Hey guys,
Just ordered a 22-250 in the prohunter and was all excited until I read some posts on the encore. Some people are not having good luck with them. I ordered this gun for accuracy in groundhog hunting and target shooting. It is topped off with VX111 6.5x20 40mm, so I have a lot of money invested. Did I make a wrong move by buying this type gun? Does anyone have this gun in this caliber? Please, any information will be greatly appreciated. By the way guys I am new and have enjoyed reading all the posts. I have learned a lot.
my encore 22-250 is extremely accurate, tho i do find the 223 more enjoyable to shoot and the twist rate can handle heaver bullets.
how far do you plan on shooting? any thing less than 300 yds the 223 will do just fine. farther than that the 22-250 or the 243 with light bullets.
