I’m making a selection for a predator hunting rifle for wolves, coyotes, cougars, etc out too 250 yards or so and have narrowed it down to the savage 12 varminter series in .22-250 or the howa m-1500 varminter in .22-250 and also the bushmaster .223 varminter rifle. I’m simply looking for performance in a predatr hunting rifle. Let me know which one you would choose, much appreciated!

I’m just looking for a hunting rifle with extremely flat trajectory for shooting predators, caliber isnt as much as an issue more of the trajectory and ballistics of the bullet. But obviously caliber has an affect but please let me know your opinions of a very good predator hunting rifle, Thank you very much.

An 80-year-old man went to his doctor for his
quarterly check-up. The doctor asked him how he was
feeling and the 80-year-old said "Things are great and
I’ve never felt better. I now have a 20 Year-old bride
who is pregnant with my child. So what do you think
about that?"

The doctor considered his question for a minute and
then began. "I have an older friend, much like you,
who is an avid hunter and never misses a season. One
day when he was setting off hunting, he was in a bit
of a hurry and accidentally picked up his walking cane
instead of his gun. As he neared a lake he came
across a very large male beaver sitting at the water’s
edge. He realized he’d left his gun at home and so
couldn’t shoot the magnificent creature but out of
habit he raised his cane, aimed it at the animal as if
it was his favorite hunting rifle and went ‘bang,
bang’. Miraculously, two shots rang out and the beaver
fell over dead.

Now, what do you think of that?" asked the doctor. The
80-year-old said, "If you ask me, I’d say somebody
else pumped a couple of rounds into that beaver."

The doctor replied, "My point exactly".

I plan to use it as a varmint rifle, but it may end up as a first hunting rifle for my niece. Also, does anyone know if the trigger can be adjusted the same way the trigger on a Remington 700 can be?

hello all, i have been looking into buying a new hunting rifle and have settled on the .243 win. cal. because i will be hunting coyotes, groundhogs, etc. and deer. now i am having some difficulties choosing a rifle. i am split between two, the savage model 110 and the tikka t3 series.
i have chosen these two rifles because they are relatively cheap and in my price range which is about 500-600$$ max. i am having trouble finding a rifle because i am left-handed and idk… the savage is cheaper and all, also something that would help me decide on which one to buy would be the availability of parts and how cheap the parts are.
which model has the most parts readily available? so could i have some help on which one is better, has more parts/accessories, is left handed and is blued. could you help find one on the internet? i seem to can't find any. i appreciated all your help… thanks in advance.

ask me if you have any questions that may help clarify anything that is unclear.
or not just the savage 110, possibly any other model savage such as the 111. etc.

Rifle in a 22 - 250 caliber with a Leupold VX III 6.5 20 X 50mm LR scope is this a good Varmint hunting rifle.
