Here are my "evil twins of varmint death".
Top Howa 1500 in 22-250. Bottom Savage 93 in .17
I feel like a golfer when I go out. I have a double case and take them both. Over 150 yards I shoot the 22-250.
HMR
As a side note. for the .17 HMR I would highly recommend the BSA sweet 17 scope. I know, I know BSA's are crap, but this one has the elevation calibrated in yrds rather than clicks and it is calibrated for the ballistics of the .17- 17 grain cartridge. I like mine a lot. You just dial the yardage your focus gives you and BANG!, another dead groundhog!
