Bruce You kill me!
All that would be left is a nose and a tail and if you are lucky 4 feet <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
By the way, Have you worked out an ultra velocity varmit load for your BMG yet?

Everything is bigger in Texas. Right Bruce? No mere 22 cal varmint rifle will take down the elusive Texas giant armadillo. I use a 45/70 as a squirrel rifle.

Get a good 223 bolt action for varmints.Factory ammo is half the price or less than 22-250,243 etc.Then get yourself a good 270/280/7-08/308 etc. for a deer rifle.The dual purpose rifle is a way over done concept.I get a real charge out of guys who call thier 243/6mm/25-06 a "dual purpose rifle" when they own a half dozen or more rifles.Kinda strange I always thought.If it were a real "dual purpose rifle" why isn't it the only one they own?You gotta have at least two rifles.

I would say a Remington Mdl 700 in a 243 Win or 223. A 223 is a good caliber but is not good more long shots because of the light bullets. The remanufactured shells are cheap but the majority of the cheap shells are inaccurate like the UltraMax shells i bought. I shot 2"inch 5 shot groups at 100yds and that about as good as it gets. If you choose a 223 buy Black Hills Ammunition. It is accurate and consistent. My UltraMax shells varied by 5mm out of 20 shells i measured. If you want a longer range gun for the occasional coyote or deer a 243 would work. The 100 buck the wind alot better than the little 55grains you I shoot out of my 223. The shells are 10.00 or 12.00 a box for the Rem Corelokts. The shells are accuarte and will work for groundhogs or deer. It is an accurate caliber so it should work great for you.
Why work when you can hunt???? Heck why work at all!!
