I foolishly bought a .22-250 Remington Heavy-26-"Barrel-Monster for deer and wolves. It's too heavy for either for me to pack very far 12 pound with bipod. Fun to shoot, though. If I'm going to pack 12 pounds, it will be my .45 cal. Sharps.

I also bought a nice light .243 Vangard 24" bl. for deer and black bear.

It is quite accurate with the 100gr. BTSP Hornadys & was easy with the stadia wires to bet my zeros to 500meters - too 5 shots.

The .22-250 will stay home - the .243 might go with me deer hunting. My daughter's rifle for deer/moose/elk is a .260 Rem. with a Lawrence Barrel - exceptionally accurate and a great choice for ladies. She shoots it rather well indeed, and with the 160gr. Sierra SRN's.
