I'm very happy !!!

a varmint caliber.... .204, .223, .22-250 etc..

a .243win

.338, .375

Sounds like you got rifles and muzzleloaders covered. How about a shotgun and a pistol?

You have everything from deer on up covered with your centerfires... The 25- 06 makes a good long range varmint/deer combo...

There is a noticable ballistic "gap" between the .22 LR and the 25-06 ....A pure varmint round would fill it..

The .204 would be fine, if that's what you want...Other excellent choices would be the .223 and the 22-250, among others...

How bout 2 new calibers!!!!!!!!!I think id get a 17hmr and a 243win.i got both of um,and love um!!That way ur covered from squirrels to deer(everything in between),what the 17 wont handle the 243 will!!!

I'd rather have a .243 than a 25-06, but there's too much overlap in capabilities to justify both. Since your looking at varmint calibers how about getting an AR-15 varmint rifle. That way you'll get a varmint rifle, and a black rifle which is just way cool.

420WSM...sounds like ya need 1

I have a 17hmr and 243wsm. Love them both when i dont have my bow or Gp100 at hand and 1894 in 357 mag.

17 hmr, 243 win, 44 mag, 375 H&H, 458 win mag, or 500 S&M- I have the first three and recommend them. The others are just if you want a good shoulder busting time.
