Thread: Want a new rifle

.22-250 would get my vote....buying an EBRG for shooting bunnies just doesn't seen right. you can poke a 40-45 grn barnes type pill in 22-250 if you want to shoot a deer, and have a rifle that is made for the task you are asking of it....less powder per bang and projectiles at a educated guess will be cheaper too.

If you already have a deer rifle, go proper varmint gun: 22-250 or 204. They both start hitting stuff from 250 m and further where the 17 hmr stops ;-)
