Just depends on what day it is.  Mainly a 7mm STW, but I also use a 22-250, 223's, or a 243.

I have a Tikka .223 varminter and a remington .17. I had troubles deciding between a 22-250 or the .223 when I bought the Tikka, but my dad has a model 77 22-250 I can use if I ever want to shoot one.

How you like your Tikka? I was thinking of getting rid of my 44mag Redhawk and getting one.

Winchester .270 :)

really reaches out there and nows how to turn em circles. You laugh but it'll flat put a hurting to any coyote it lays its sights on up to about 500yrds no problem. Never shot anything that small farther than that.

I forgot that I also have a Ruger 10/22 for shooting dirt rats at closer ranges and with cheap ammo.
