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.
