  • .22 wmr or .223 for varmint hunting?

    I shot a .22 lr last night and really want to get a good gun to shoot varmints with. I like the cz 512 wmr. But would you go with a .22 mag or .223? Which model would you choose?

                      They really do different things. I prefer owning a .22lr and a .223, but all the big time varmint hunters are shooting really hot centerfire .17's at 4,000fps+, if you want the Internet kryptonite answer.

                              I agree, the 22 won't net you much with hogs unless it is perfectly placed and the 223 is overkill for the others.
