I have an Savage .410/.22LR. I would like to have the .22 bored out to a .22 magnum. Does anyone know about how much this would cost.
If it doesn' t cost more than it is worth, this would make a great little squirrel gun.

My brother has the same gun that our grandfather gave to him. It already makes a great squirrel gun.

410/22LR is all you need for squirrels. No need to waste 22 mag ammuntion on a little tree rat.It shouldn' t cost much for converting to a 22 mag. It has to be reamed.

Thanks guys!
I know that I have a really good squirrel gun already. I am probably going to keep it as is and look into getting something else for a varmint gun. I' m leaning towards the .223 (cheap to shoot) or the .220 Swift! I like the .220 Swift ballistics, does anyone know how hard ammo is to find? Any comments on the Swift?

Frank, back when I was doing research for my varmint cartridge, the two it boiled down to were the 220 Swift and the 22-250 Rem. In the end I opted for the 22-250 Rem and was never sorry. Ammo is more available and even though the 220 Swift is suppose to be faster the varmints never know it. The 22-250 Rem is also dead nuts accurate.

well winchester just told everybody about the WSSMs if you like that sort of thing. the .223 WSSM supposidly gives ballistics like the 220swift.

One thing to consider is how much shooting you are going to be doing at varments. The faster the bullet the quicket the barrel will wear out. The .223 is good out to about three hundred yards or so and is alot easier on the barrel and is quite a bit cheaper to shoot also.
