Groundhog Hunting

[moose]

223 loud? Nah, my .22-250 is loud! Remington Model 700 SPS Varmint, Dad's is identical in .223 and is not nearly as loud as the 22-250 is. 14 hogs to my name so far this season, not bad considering I'm in Jersey...

It's not necessarily the 223, its probably got more to do with the muzzle brake

with the brake on the 7MM the whole vally knows when I shoot! LET FREEDOM RING!

How do you like that SPS Varmint? I'm thinking of getting that same rifle in .243.

Thanks

I got a small one the other night, the ballistic tip messed it up pretty good. It was sitting in the hole when I shot, when the bulllet it hit him, it picked him up and flipped him out of the hole
