I am serious this time. I want to know the best caliber. I will probably get an NEF beacause if you cant hit them with one shot, you shouldnt be hunting, because you wont get a second. I here good things about 22-250, and .204 ruger, but what about 22 wmr, or 22 hornet, or .223? I know theyll all work, but id hunt mostly fields, and id use a scope. Max Yards probably 200yds. So what would you buy? I can get a Remington 700 in 22-250 from my uncle used for probably a couple hundred dollars, but its rusted, and dusty, and nasty. Anyone know a good way to clean it up if i got that? cause its still a remington
. Its still a good lookin rifle.idk much about rifles so im askin you guys. Thanks in advance.
