it pretty much depends on what you are going to use it for . i personally dont own either one i do own a 220 swift which i think is awesome. it is extremelly accurate and it is slightly more powerful then the 22-250. but i own a ruger 77 /22h which is a 22 hornet i wouldnt trade for the world .ive shot woodchucks at close to 250 yards , ( pushing it a bit ) its almost recoilless cheap to shoot and quiet ! just my 2 cents
