Varmint caliber????
« on: August 03, 2004, 05:49:33 AM »
I'm new here so this may have been discussed. I am putting together an Tumbhole Encore Pkg, I will use it for coyotes mostly but occasionally while varmint hunting on the ranch I see a whitetail doe that need out(special Tags) .220 swift has always worked for both but thinking about a 6mm remington or something like that any ideas.

Thanks

Busman202002,
I think you have the right idea for an all around good gun, Any of the 6mms would do a fine job for you, I am a little partial to the 6mm rem. But all in all they are basically the same. Either one will do just fine. Good luck to ya...........Joe................
