Ithought I was going to buy a used .204 from an uncle but after I took it to the range 2 days ago I found out it was not the shooter I was looking for so now I need to get a new one. I havepretty muchmade up mymind on a Model 25 Savage lightweight varminter but absolutely CANNOT decide on the caliber. I really liked the lack of recoil on the .204 I shot (and it was a compact ruger) thinking about the fact that I would be able to see the "show" on my shots but I have had a few buddies really try to steer me to the 22-250. I will be using it as a bench p-dog gun and a bush coyote gun shooting as far as I and the gun are capable of, so what do you guys think; for those of you that have both what do you prefer and why.
