I am trying to get into varmit hunting and just wondered what you guys think. I have been shooting my whole life but the varmit hunting has really been interesting me lately. I got a couple buddies that are deep into it. I haven't even bought a gun yet, and that leads me to my question. I have several .22 LR and a .308, and a 30/30. I just don't think these will cut it, and it would give me an excuse to buy a new gun. I am leaning toward the 22-250 or the .223, prolly give the nod to the 22-250, due to the cost of ammo and it's better knock down power. I also am also on a budget preferably under $400. I have looked at the Savage 200, and with scope I'll be over $500. What do you guys think? Thanks
