Hey guys, I'm looking at buying another rifle. It will be strictly for shooting varmints (coyotes, crows, and groundhogs) out to about 300 yards. Here are my options:
1. Springfield 840 in 222 Rem. Nice condition, has an older Bushnell Sportview 3-9 scope mounted.
2a. Mossberg 800 in 243. Also in nice shape, and also has a Bushnell Sportview mounted.
2b. Henry single shot in 243. Iron sights, no scope. Excellent condition.
Any of the 3 can be had for about $375. I have found ammo for both locally, and there isn't much difference in price per round. I'm leaning toward the triple deuce, but the 243 would give me a lighter deer rifle if I were inclined to hang my '06 up. Now, learned friends, what say you?
