Thats the first time I seen anyone with that red splash anno on there Leupolds...doesnt look too bad! What are the specs on the scope?

I voted for the 22-250 but really think you need a 50 BMG to reach out and touch them.

 

[rembolt]

22 250 and gopher be gone!!!!

 

[Huntsman]

.204 & .22lr

I have two 17hmr's. One is for the GF or her son, if either of them tag along.
Fantastic gopher round, set up with a bipod it's pretty well a gimmee out to 125 yds, beyond that it gives them a bit of a sporting chance.

If they both want to go, I bring along the .22-250 for me
But that's just for the looooong ones. 50 gr v-max = spectactular gopherobics.

If I ever take the plunge into reloading, my next rifle will be a .204

I pick the 223, as the ammo is cheap as dirt (figuratively) especially when you handload.

.204 with barnes varmint grenades? Thats my plan for the summer.

Throwing around the idea of a gopher gun with explosive results whats your guys opinions. I forgot .204 Ruger with 32gr v-max anyway to add it?

 

[daniellybbert]

22 k hornet and a 22 250 for the long stuff

Gun is a Tikka T3 Super Varmint
Leupold VX-L 6.5-20x56mm Long Range Extreme Varminter, perfect match for the 204 Ruger

It has a cool reticle:

You could say its a varmint rifle, as both the gun and the scope have it in the name

Many a gopher met its end last season with this puppy.

I'm pretty excited to try my new .17 HMR on gopher's this spring. Already stock piled 1500 17 grain V-Max rounds.

Definitely a slick set up TKV . The reticles fairly accurate with the load your using?

Now THAT my friends is a varmint rig extraordinaire! WOW!

I am not so much jealous as I am just impressed. Way to go!

I purchased this scope because the wires in the crosshairs are very thin. Good for gophers. The gun is super accurate, I've got a perfect load dialed in for it, .6 of an inch @100, and 500 empty cases to load for this season. Unlike the picture by Leupold, because the 204 shoots so flat I use the middle crosshair for out to 300 yards, then the 300 yard for 400, ect.

The manual for the scope had dial in settings for 204, 223, 17 Fireball, ect ect.

Definitely a rig to be proud of TKV . I'm gonna have to look into the varmint reticle .

I just ordered my third (and hopefully my last) 223rem from Prophet river. It's supposed to arrive in March, this will be the longest month. It's a CZ527 M1 synthetic, and I ordered a Leupold 3-9X33 compact scope at the same time. I have owned 2 Remingtons previously, 1 700, and a model 7, but I'm a bit picky, and I think that the Remington actions are just too big for that little cartridge. I've already spent $400.00 on reloading components, so you can imagine how much shooting I plan to do through it this year.

Calhoon 37gr in my .223, I'd prefer a .19 but Barry won't sell me his. Barry if you're on here,!

 

[KDX]

I have a Savage 12LPV on the way in .223 and I'm going to try the 50gr and 55gr V-Max bullets in it's 1-9 twist barrel with some BenchMark powder behind them. I hope to turn it into a 20 VarTarg next year.

 

[444shooter]

.17 Rem, 22WMR, .223 Rem, 22LR and seriously thinking of getting a .204 just for the heck of it
