I'm with meathunter the 220 swift is superior. But given your choices go with the 22-250. I shoot one also, and the downrange benefits far outweigh the benefits of the 240. If the wind blows at all where you live you will appreciate the 22-250.

I personally like the 220 swift in a Ruger No. 1. This gun is extremely accurate right out of the box. Ammo can be spendy but reloading will definately get you even more accuracy. Some say it is a barrel burner, but having the No. 1 tends to slow down the rapid fire. :222 I affectionately call mine ...

AGCHAWK, thanks for the reply. This years plans will have to be fairly close to home seems like the older you get the less time there is. Good to hear from someone familiar with the northern end of the state though. I hunted a fair bit up north while I was going to school up there. Whitetails are a ...

long range

:thumb
great shot!! true, shots at this range take practice, it is not just the gun. I shoot the same caliber and made a similar connection on a cow hunt last year. the 300wsm with a 130gr barnes triple shock knocked her down at just over 500yards

rifle choice

my old standby was the 30-06. but my new favorite is the 300wsm. I shoot it in a winchester featherweight with a leupold vari x III and a barnes triple shock 130grains. I have found with a little trigger work and having it bedded it is truly a bonified 500 yard take a dirt nap deer slayer. Not to me...

scopes

being from Idaho and growing up hunting mule deer and elk. I have always used a scope and come to think of it....a scope is a must have for the long range shooting done out west. 300 yards is close and my eyes are not nearly good enough to have ever used open sights.
