Ok, I have changed gears here on my next rifle purchase. I was looking for a varmint/plinker/youth deer rifle and dont think there is one perfect gun, so I will add a .243 to my .270 for my daughter to hunt with.
I am now looking for just varmint / target rifle. I will use it to crush woodchucks and crows etc and she will learn to shoot with it.
I like the idea of beaing able to see the bullet hit the woodchuck through the scope, is this realistic with a 22-250 or should I go smaller?
Shooting out to 400 yards would probably never happen but not sure that a 17 rimfire would be enough. Also in my state any centerfire rifle can be used for deer, so even a .223 could be an emergency deer rifle.
What calibers do you suggest I get.
